Automated generation of multi-year corporate tax returns (1120, 1120-S, etc.) with integrated IRS e-file support
Penalty and interest calculator with mitigation strategy recommendations (e.g., reasonable cause, first-time penalty abatement)
Secure document vault for client to upload any available records, with smart prompts to request missing info

Target Users: Accountants and tax professionals in the United States at small-to-mid-sized firms handling business clients with multiple years of unfiled taxes and incomplete records.

Revenue Model: $199 per case fee plus $49/month subscription for up to 5 active cases; premium tier $499/month for unlimited cases with dedicated support.
