Data ingestion
Three Ways to Bring Data In, So Your Team Isn't Stuck With One
Choose the workflow that fits how your institution already manages filing data, from standardized bulk templates to automated
system-to-system transfer.
Validation built in
Catch TIN mismatches before you file
TIN Matching and data validation run as part of the standard workflow, catching mismatched names and TINs before they turn into IRS notices.
One platform, every recipient type
Students, employees, vendors, and international recipients, in one system
Most platforms are built around one filer type. TaxBandits handles all four inside the same workflow, so your teams aren't maintaining separate tools for separate populations.
Support beyond filing
Filing is only part of it, we're with you after you hit submit
No-cost corrections when a TIN or amount needs fixing, and free retransmission if a return gets rejected, so a filing issue doesn't turn into a separate project for your team.
