Once you have filled out the questionnaire, Taxbotic will automatically curate a list of documents separated by income type to upload for you. You can access this list in the documents section of the workflow.
Here are some things you need to know
Each document has a separate box as shown in the snip below.
Clicking on the "What is this?" link opens a pop-up that explains additional details about the document requested and how to obtain it.
Each income type has an optional document upload box at the end. You can use this box to upload information that is not specifically requested.
Some document upload boxes have one or the other document upload options. You only have to upload one document. The snip below shows a document request for a self-employed business for a client. In this case, the client can upload either sales invoices/bank statements and expense receipts/bills or the client can upload a spreadsheet showing all this information.
If you don't have a spreadsheet template to use, you can download the template by clicking on the "Use this Spreadsheet" link. Taxbotic provides in-built templates for all areas where detailed information may need to be provided to the accountants. Some of the templates include - Home office expenses, moving expenses, rental expenses, self-employed income, medical expenses etc.
When a document is uploaded, the upload box is highlighted green along with a document-added stamp. This is to help you separate out what is left to be completed. The snip below shows this.
The maximum size of the document that you can upload is 10MB.
PDF, JPG, PNG and XLS formats are supported.
