Explore ProConnect automation →Start with the place your firm actually stores client files. Ask each provider to show the intake path, the reviewable workpaper, and the handoff to ProConnect. Confirm that the demonstrated access method matches your deployment rather than a different product or hosting arrangement.
An incomplete packet tests more than extraction. Identify where the unanswered question lives, how staff follows up, and how the new evidence gets back to the preparer. Then compare the remaining professional review rather than treating a drafted return as ready for filing.
