Drake Software Launches Post-Filing Audit Defense Service

Drake Software has launched Drake Audit Defense™, a new service aimed at supporting tax professionals with clients facing post-filing tax issues. The offering extends the company’s solutions beyond tax return preparation to address audits and tax notices.

The new service is designed to help tax firms manage eligible IRS and state tax notices, as well as provide audit assistance and support for qualifying tax-related identity theft cases. By offering this service, Drake Software aims to reduce the administrative burden on tax professionals, allowing them to dedicate more time to client advisory and less to managing post-filing complications.

Drake Audit Defense™ integrates with existing Drake Software workflows. Tax professionals can enroll clients in the service during the tax preparation process. When issues arise, credentialed tax experts provide support to help clients navigate the complexities of audits and tax authority inquiries.

According to Drake Software, the launch is part of an ongoing strategy to provide integrated products and services that support tax professionals throughout the entire client journey. The company states that this expansion aims to enhance practice efficiency and client service delivery.
