Form Coverage Boosts, Smarter Integrations, and Quality Checks
Period: 2025-11-17 - 2025-11-23- Form 8959 (Additional Medicare Tax) support: Automated extraction and validation now handle Form 8959 in 1040 returns, reducing manual entry. This improves completeness of your individual return workflows.
- Drake form coverage and validations: Added schema support for Schedule B of Form 1116 and Form 8941, plus maintenance updates to the Drake connector. We also tightened Drake validations (country list and phone number length) to prevent rejections.
- ProConnect and CCH reliability: Fixed ProConnect mappings for K‑1 inputs, HSA Form 8889 routing, and Schedule E/A fields to eliminate schema errors. Migrated key CCH forms (Schedule C, K‑1 for 1041/1065/1120S, and 1099‑MISC) to a more accurate extraction strategy for cleaner imports.
- Smarter 1099 and rental interest routing: New validators ensure 1099‑MISC links to the correct Schedule E property and 1099‑NEC requires a business or farm name to route income properly. Mortgage interest from Form 1098 is now correctly allocated to rental properties on Schedule E without creating unnecessary 1098 screens.
- Credit Assessment in your workspace: Credit Assessment is now exposed in preparer and diagnostics views with prior‑year context, helping you quickly triage return readiness. Results are saved to the return for consistent tracking.
- New integrations and partner workflows: Added Qount as a provider and introduced a Karbon import workflow to bring returns and files directly into your workspace. Partners can deep‑link into specific returns and use new APIs to register returns and upload documents programmatically.
