At Kintsugi AI, we strive to make your filing process as smooth, quick, and hassle-free as possible. We understand that your time is valuable, and delays in tax filing can lead to unnecessary complications, penalties, and stress. That’s why we have developed an auto-file and auto-approve feature to simplify your experience and ensure timely filings. This article explains how these features work and why it’s in your best interest to use them.

How the Filing Process Works

Every month, we automatically generate a new filing for you on the 4th of the month. This filing is sent to you, so you can review it before approving. You have until the 15th of the month to click the “Approve” button, giving you time to review the information carefully.

However, the approval process has a deadline, and here’s where things get tricky:

  1. We cannot file your tax returns until you approve the filing.

  2. If you don’t approve the filing by the 15th, we are unable to submit it, which can lead to delays and penalties.

  3. After you approve the filing, our team has only 5 days (until the 20th of the month) to submit the tax returns to individual states.


The Challenge: Delays from Manual Approval

We understand that reviewing and approving the filing is important. However, sometimes our clients take longer than expected to review the filings. In some cases, clients forget to approve them altogether, which means we cannot submit the tax return on time.

Result? Wasted time, increased risk of missing deadlines, and potential penalties.

This delay puts us in a tight spot because we need to file every month on the 20th, and without your approval, the filing cannot proceed.

The Solution: Auto-Approve and Auto-File Features

To avoid these challenges, we’ve introduced the auto-approve and auto-file features. Here's how they work:

1. Auto-Approve

Instead of manually reviewing and clicking “approve” each month, you can enable the auto-approve feature. This means the filing will automatically be approved on your behalf.

2. Auto-File

When you enable auto-approve, we can also automatically file your taxes once the filing is generated on the 4th. This ensures there’s no delay, and the tax return gets filed on time, without needing to wait for your manual approval.

Why Should You Enable Auto-File and Auto-Approve?

  • Speed and Efficiency

By enabling the auto-approve and auto-file features, you allow us to process everything quickly without waiting for your manual approval. This ensures that your filings are submitted on time, every time.

  • Avoid Delays

With the auto-file feature, there’s no risk of forgetting to approve or delaying the filing process. Your taxes will be filed without waiting until the 20th of the month.

  • Prevent Penalties

Timely filings are crucial for avoiding penalties. If your filing isn't approved by the 15th, we cannot submit it in time, and you may face fines. With auto-approval, you don’t have to worry about missing the deadline.

  • Less Complication

You no longer have to review and approve each filing manually, which means fewer steps on your end. We handle everything, so you can focus on other important matters.


How to Enable Auto-Approve and Auto-File

To get started with the auto-approve and auto-file features, simply:

  1. Go to the Filing Tab on your dashboard.

  2. Locate the filing we sent you on the 4th of the month.

  3. Opt into the auto-approve and auto-file feature.

Once enabled, you can trust that your filings will be automatically approved and filed without any additional steps from you.


In Conclusion: Embrace the Convenience of Automation

We know that taxes can be complex, but with the auto-approve and auto-file features, we’ve taken the hassle out of the process for you. By allowing us to automatically approve and file your returns, you not only speed up the process but also ensure that everything is done accurately and on time—without any risk of penalties or delays.

We encourage you to trust the automation and make the most of these features to enjoy a quicker, smoother filing process. After all, the more you let us handle, the less time you’ll spend on administrative tasks, and the more peace of mind you’ll have.
