The prep-season backlog

The organizer is never the whole source file.

Clients upload a mix of PDFs, photos, scanned receipts, K-1 packages, brokerage statements, organizer notes, and prior-year workpapers. Re-keying is slow. Accepting AI output without a source viewer is audit risk. Leapable keeps each extracted field tied to the source page and excerpt a reviewer can inspect.

Tax answers need plain evidence boundaries.

Does Leapable replace Drake, ProConnect, UltraTax, CCH, or Lacerte?

No. Leapable prepares source-cited evidence and reviewer checklists. The firm's tax prep software remains the system of record for filing, e-signature, and return delivery.

Can it cite W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, receipts, and brokerage statements?

Yes. Ask from the client vault and inspect the cited source file, page, paragraph, and excerpt before accepting an extracted field.

Can it substantiate an R&D credit file?

It can organize and cite project notes, time records, payroll support, vendor invoices, and engineering artifacts. The CPA still makes the tax judgment.

What files can the firm add?

Leapable supports 21 file types, including organizers, W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, 1098s, receipts, brokerage statements, invoices, Office docs, spreadsheets, images, CSV, HTML, Markdown, and text.
