PR-Inside.com: 2014-09-25 15:43:02
DEXTER, September 25, 2014 - Thomson Reuters confirmed today that UltraTax
CS will provide an eSignature offering for the upcoming tax season. This new,
easy-to-use feature will be launched with the November release of UltraTax CS
and will enable accounting firm clients to sign tax forms and other documents
electronically from their desktop, laptop, mobile phone, or tablet - providing a
secure, convenient, and expedited means of obtaining clients' signatures.

The optional eSignature functionality will help firms efficiently execute
signatures on standard documents as well as meeting the stringent IRS
requirements for Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) for form 8879. Engagement
Letters and Consent Forms will include the option to securely email an
eSignature for a nominal fee. Form 8879, which requires additional security
processes (KBA) per the IRS, will also have the option.

"Our new eSignature offering will allow tax and accounting firms and their
clients to save valuable time and effort when gathering required signatures by
delivering documents and enabling clients to sign them electronically," said
Christina Wiseman, Product Manager - Web Services & Mobile with the Tax &
Accounting business of Thomson Reuters. "Our eSignature solution provides a
secure way for firms to streamline the tax return process while eliminating
unnecessary paperwork and hassle and elevating client service."

The eSignature solution will initiate an email to the recipient that will
include a direct link to the signing process. The intuitive signing process was
designed to simplify the signing experience. Additionally, for firms deploying
NetClient CS secure client portals, their clients will see a new task in their
client portal and mobile app conveniently directing them to the eSignature
process.
