Dext + Tax Preparers: Faster Bank Import
Tax preparers during filing season need to process hundreds of client bank statements to verify income, identify deductions, and prepare accurate returns. If you use Dext for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Tax Preparers Using Dext
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Dext. Convert client bank statements to organized Excel spreadsheets in seconds — verify W-2 income, find deductible expenses, and prepare returns faster during tax season.
The Tax Preparers + Dext Workflow
Tax preparers collect bank statements alongside W-2s, 1099s, and expense receipts during client intake. They review statements to verify reported income, identify deductible expenses like business costs and charitable donations, calculate estimated tax payments made, and ensure all 1099-reported income matches bank deposits. High-volume preparers process 50+ returns per week during peak season.
Key terms you'll encounter: W-2 matching, 1099 reconciliation, Schedule C, itemized deductions.
