Explore ProSeries automation →If the client file is complete and the remaining task is importing supported statements, evaluate the native import against that precise task. If the return cannot start because documents and answers are scattered across channels, include collection and follow-up in the comparison.
Use an existing ProSeries client in the evaluation. Ask how corrected documents, client matching, and already-entered values are handled, then identify which calculations and diagnostics the preparer still reviews. Compare the complete staff process, not just the number of clicks to submit a PDF.
