Coconut + Enrolled Agents: Faster Bank Import
Enrolled Agents representing clients before the IRS need to review bank statements for tax return preparation, audit defense, and compliance verification. If you use Coconut for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Enrolled Agents Using Coconut
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Coconut. Batch-convert client bank statements to Excel for fast income verification, deduction substantiation, and IRS examination responses.
The Enrolled Agents + Coconut Workflow
Enrolled Agents review client bank statements to verify income reported on tax returns, identify unreported income during IRS examinations, substantiate deductions claimed, and prepare documentation for audit defense. They compare bank deposits against 1099s and W-2s to identify discrepancies and help clients respond to IRS notices and correspondence audits.
Key terms you'll encounter: IRS examination, correspondence audit, bank deposit analysis, Circular 230.
