This is the real template. Fill it in, then make it yours.

Clients tick where their income came from and what applies to them, then upload their documents. The partner's name only shows on a joint return, business figures only for the self-employed. On Pro, an AI reply lists the documents you will probably still need, for you to check first.

Who it’s for

Accountants and tax preparers chasing the same documents every season. Send it to every client in one go and see who has replied in the inbox.

It never asks for a tax ID or account numbers; you collect those your own way.

Questions about this template

Can I keep the form private?

Yes. Any form can have a password, so only the people you send it to can open it. Answers travel over HTTPS, and you can delete responses whenever you need to.

Will the AI work out anyone's tax?

No. It is told not to estimate tax or refunds and not to give advice. It only lists what seems missing, and every reply waits for you to approve it.

Can clients finish later?

Yes. They can save and finish later with a link to their answers, so the last document can follow.
