StanfordTax is the tax binder for a US firm. You generate a personalized organizer from your tax software: a questionnaire and a document list based on last year, for 1040, 1120, 1120-S, and 1065. The client gets a link. No account and no password. As files arrive, the checklist updates, combined PDFs can be split, and the workpaper is bookmarked and renamed in return order. You review with notes and calculator tapes, then deliver a return summary, collect e-signatures on federal and state authorization forms, and send estimated-tax reminders. K-1 package delivery is marked coming soon.

It runs beside the tax software, not instead of it. Supported filing systems are UltraTax, CCH Axcess, CCH ProSystem fx, Lacerte, ProSeries, ProConnect, and Drake. It does not keep a general ledger, send invoices, or run payroll. Soraban's documented extra step is pushing extracted form fields into UltraTax, Lacerte, Drake, or CCH Axcess. Truss adds a Windows app, Stripe collection at delivery, and optional domestic AI prep. If the firm already lives in Karbon, Stanford organizers can open inside the Karbon client portal and update Karbon work items. TaxDome is the system to pick when you want one practice suite for the whole firm, not a separate binder.

Firms stick when the organizer used to be a generic PDF nobody finished. Questions skip what does not apply, reminders go out without another staff email, and the preparer opens a binder already in return order. Unlimited firm users means a seasonal hire does not need another seat. Someone still prepares and e-files the return in the tax software.

Upload a backup or connect the tax software and StanfordTax builds a questionnaire plus a document checklist from prior-year data. Clients only see questions that apply. Covered return types on the pricing page are 1040, 1120, 1120-S, and 1065. The organizer page also says prior-year numbers can show for Schedule C, E, and F.

Organizer generated from the tax file

You send a link, including in bulk. The client starts without an account, username, or password. The checklist updates as files arrive, and the product asks why a document is missing so staff are not guessing. Reminders can go out on their own.

A link, not a client login

Uploaded files are bookmarked, renamed, and sorted. Combined PDFs can be split. Diagnostics flag duplicate files and tax-year mismatches. Reviewers annotate, sign off, and add calculator tapes on the document. The workpaper exports in one click.

Binder in return order

Delivery packages the return into client-facing sections and highlights the refund, balance due, and estimates. Clients e-sign federal and state authorization forms. Estimated-tax reminders go out before each payment is due. K-1 distribution to shareholders and partners is labeled coming soon, so it is not a current feature.

Delivery, e-sign, and estimate reminders

Organizers can open inside the client's Karbon portal, with no second login, and Karbon work items update as the organizer moves. Setup is: create a StanfordTax account, generate organizers from the tax software, then connect Karbon. Canopy, TaxDome, and several other practice tools are named on the site. Only Karbon has setup steps.

Karbon portal, if you already use it

StanfordTax builds tax organizers and binders from your tax software. Free for 5 returns, then $18 per return. It does not keep the books.
