  1. TaxWise Online (TWO) Why we should choose TaxWise Online

  2. Security, Security, Security • No data retention on the computers we use • Access with a secure, encrypted website (https://twonline.taxwise.com • Admin ability to assign access rights to individual users

  3. EASE OF USE • No individual installation of software required • No updating ever (automatically done) • No backup ever (retained on CCH/TaxWise server) • No carry forward required (automatic)

  4. BROADBAND INTERNET • Need broadband access with 800 kilobits/sec (test at http://speedtest.taxwise.com) • Can access with any computer with broadband Internet access • Just ask your facilities about Internet access. Most facilities can provide this with little problems (however, not wireless). • It is easy to network your computers with a router (with a switch connected to expand it) in order to create a separate sub-network with additional security.

  5. DIFFERENCES WITH DESKTOP • The “F keys” do not operate in the Online version. • No need for transmit codes or problems with using the same computer at several locations since no data is retained • No data is retained on local computers • Online Help also offers the ability to go to any other Internet site that you might need while preparing a return

  6. ADMIN SETUP • Setup for each user by name (recommend first initial & last name) • Allow for permissions (return preparer, super user, admin & template manager) • See the TW CD and Pub 3189 for additional instructions on setup

  7. PERMISSIONS • Return Preparer for everyone – They will only be able to see and print returns they have prepared • Super User – Use for those Quality Review volunteers and anyone else that needs to see all returns, efile and get acknowledgements • Admin – Restrict to a few people to manage the site (reset passwords, etc) • Template Manager – To set defaults and should be restricted to one or two people

  8. Access • Everyone will use the client ID for the location EFIN/SIDN • Each volunteer will need a User Name and Password – Must change every 90 days. Must answer a User set secret question if password must be reset • No matter the site your volunteers are working at, they only need to remember the client ID, User Name, & Password

  9. WHAT YOU WILL SEE AFTER YOU SIGN IN • The next page gives you access to create the new return and other resources you might need • For Admin & Super Users it gives you a list of active returns, rejected returns, accepted returns, ability to efile and get acknowledgements • You are also able to move or delete returns

  10. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE • Jo Eldredge used Online at a 6 day-a-week site from Feb 2nd thru April 15th and only had one partial day when TaxWise server was not available – Online is very reliable • Due to security issues alone, she expects to have another four sites Online by next season (2009 TY)

  11. Continued • Printing is a little slower operation due to creating a PDF file before printing but not a significant problem • Because of being on an active internet connection, they occasionally would have a computer slow down and they would log off and then go back in to get a better connection

  12. FINISH • If you try TaxWise Online, you will never go back to the Desktop version. • Again, security & ease of use make the Online software the way to go if you can arrange the broadband Internet connection, which she found was a matter of asking

  13. THANKS
