NEW YORK – Effectively integrating the provision and return processes
has long been one of the key pain points for corporate tax departments –
until now. The Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters is introducing
Enhanced Provision and Return Integration to relieve these pain points and significantly
streamline corporate tax workflow.
“The tax provision and the tax return are reported according to different
levels of detail, at different times, and for different purposes,” said
Joe Harpaz, senior vice president and general manager of ONESOURCE TaxStream
Provision at Thomson Reuters. “Our enhanced integration benefits users
of our leading corporate income tax and provision software solutions through
sophisticated, yet simple, integration that solves the challenge of the incompatibility
of data detail between a tax provision and tax return. As a result, we’ve
automated tasks that are typically manual and redundant in nature, thereby allowing
tax professionals to devote more time to value-adding tax analysis and planning.”
The new enhanced integration can break out a single line item in ONESOURCE
TaxStream Provision into multiple line items in ONESOURCE™ Income Tax
and vice versa. Likewise, it can consolidate multiple line items on a return
into a single line item on the provision and vice versa.
“This revolutionary solution effectively generates specific detail levels
needed for each process,” said Steve Mendelsohn, senior vice president
and general manager of ONESOURCE Income Tax at Thomson Reuters. “We’re
excited to present the first ever solution with one-to-many and many-to-one
data transfer and a solution that can considerably improve the efficiency and
accuracy of a tax department.”
The new enhanced integration of ONESOURCE TaxStream Provision and ONESOURCE
Income Tax enables tax professionals to:
•Dramatically automate manual processes and improve efficiencies during
every stage of the tax lifecycle;•Compare a filed tax return from ONESOURCE™ Income Tax with
the prior year annual provision from ONESOURCE TaxStream Provision, then post
the delta to the current year annual provision;•Feed trial balance data, book-tax differences, and pre-tax book income
from ONESOURCE TaxStream Provision to ONESOURCE Income Tax to get a head start
on the return;•Automatically send state rate and apportionment data from ONESOURCE
Income Tax to ONESOURCE TaxStream Provision to generate state-specific provision
reports.
The enhanced integration will be available on Dec. 1 to all customers of ONESOURCE
Income Tax (formerly InSource) and ONESOURCE TaxStream Provision (formerly TaxStream).
“We continue to make major strides in enhancing the functionality of our
market leading corporate tax products and specifically in the integration across
products, thereby enabling our customers to further leverage their investment
in Thomson Reuters solutions,” said Harpaz.
