Intuit Tax Advisor is designed to create custom tax plans in minutes. Show your clients valuable savings by using tax strategies automatically generated from your ProConnect Tax or Lacerte returns. 

When creating a plan, the program will identify if there are any potential savings before using a credit. The potential savings may help determine if the client is a good fit for a tax plan.

Before using a credit you can review potential savings before creating a plan. Here's how:

  1.  Select "Create tax plan" 
  2.  Think of business owners, clients with one state, or individuals that have multiple streams of income.
  3.  To find a client, search client's "First Name". Select their name & existing 1040 return.
  4.  In the second grey box, Review # of likely strategies (see screenshot below)
  5.  Review $ amount of potential savings (see screenshot below) 
  6.  Press Next to use 1 credit for 1 client; credits are used per client, not per plan
