Paper Cut
Tax preparation businesses must exercise due diligence in managing and storing documents with personally identifiable information. TaxSlayer Pro Premium includes a document management system called Paper Cut. Using Paper Cut, you can move towards a paperless office where paper and digital documents are woven together in an efficient, cost-effective, and easy-to-use format that will revolutionize the way you run your tax business. Depending on the volume of your existing paper records, it may not be cost effective to digitize older files, but you can start fresh by printing to PDF instead of paper.
Paper Cut streamlines work flow and reduces costs associated with most tax preparation offices, such as printing, mailing, and storing paper. It also saves you time looking for tax returns lost in the shuffle. Paper Cut provides the option to scan and save all your client’s documents such as Forms W-2 and 1099s along with and forms of ID and handwritten notes.
With Paper Cut you also eliminate the need to print e-file reports to paper (Transmission Confirmation, Acknowledgements, and Bank Reports). Paper Cut also saves on printing by allowing you to e-mail your client an encrypted copy of their tax return.

Document scanning
While working in their return, you can scan things such as your client's driver's license, tax documents, child custody information, etc., into Paper Cut.
Signature Pad
TaxSlayer Pro Premium supports two models of signature pads to capture preparer and client signatures to print on the forms that support a digital signature. Thus, your clients can sign once and their signature will be applied to the federal (and state, when supported) e-file signature authorization form and all pages of bank product documentation.
