Add clients you've already onboarded and verified — they can complete the TaxStatus consent process in under 30 seconds, with minimal friction on their end.
Because you've already validated your clients' identities in accordance with your firm's policies, TaxStatus lets you attest to that existing relationship rather than starting from scratch.
Before You Begin
Make sure you have the following ready:
- A list of clients you want to add (Name, SSN, Birth Date, Mobile phone, Address)
- Your firm's identity verification records on file (you'll be attesting to these)
Option 1: Add Multiple Clients
Use this method when adding several clients at once.
-
Click the Add Client button from your TaxStatus dashboard.
- Select upload list of clients.
- Prepare your spreadsheet. You will need to provide the information listed below. A downloadable template is available if you'd like guidance.
- Attest and upload. Confirm that you know and have verified the clients on your list, then upload the completed spreadsheet.
- Send your consent link. Your unique consent link is available on your home page. Share it with your clients - each client's consent process takes less than 30 seconds to complete.
Option 2: Add a Single Client
Use this method when adding one client at a time.
-
Click the Add Client button from your TaxStatus dashboard.
- Select add a client.
- Fill in information and attest. Provide the required information and confirm that they are a known, verified client.
- Send your consent link. As with the bulk method, you control when and how you share your unique link with the client.
Visit our Onboarding Portal for email templates for reaching out to clients.
After Clients Receive the Link
Once clients click your consent link, they'll complete a short authorization flow on their own - no further action is needed on your end.
The IRS will review each request to verify and authorize the release of information. The expected date for data release will be posted on your dashboard.
