Core enhancements for this release include:
- Free IRS Reference Account that features a comprehensive IRS contact directory and unlimited access to the Expert Community,
- Significantly enhanced user interface, including quick search navigation,
- Client engagement support, including engagement reporting, document management and a calendar reminder system,
- Online expert community where users can exchange information and share issues and resolutions, and
- Additional issue support, including an IRS Audit section complete with hundreds of working papers.
“Our users like the changes we’ve made. Practitioners have especially commented on the need for practical instructions for working with the IRS, which is why we’re making CPE courses for credit available for free,” said Jim Buttonow, CPA, IRS practice and procedure expert and cofounder of New River Innovation. “Our goal is to make it easier for practitioners to work with the IRS. This update to Beyond415 is foundational to our vision and future product offerings.”
