Yes. There are several tax workflow / practice management tools that support 1040, 1065, and 1120 return workflows and allow multi-user access. A few common options:

Tax workflow tools to look at

  • TaxDome
    Very popular for CPA/tax firms. Supports workflow automation, client portals, document collection, e-signatures, task assignments, and multi-user firm access. Commonly used across 1040, 1065, and 1120 work.

  • Canopy
    Strong practice management and client workflow platform. Good for task tracking, document management, messaging, and multi-user teams. Often paired with tax software rather than replacing it.

  • Jetpack Workflow
    More of a pure workflow tool. Good for recurring tax processes and team task management. Multi-user support, but it’s less of a full client portal/document system than TaxDome or Canopy.

  • Karbon
    Strong for accounting firm collaboration and internal workflow management. Good multi-user access, task routing, and communication. Often used by firms handling multiple return types.

  • Financial Cents
    Workflow-focused, with strong task tracking and automation for tax firms. Supports team collaboration and multi-user access.

  • OfficeTools / OfficeTools Workspace
    Practice management plus workflow for accounting firms, including team access and tax-season process management.

Important distinction

Most of these tools manage the workflow around the returns rather than actually preparing 1040/1065/1120 returns. You’d usually still need tax prep software like:

  • Drake Tax
  • Lacerte
  • UltraTax CS
  • ProSeries
  • CCH Axcess Tax

If you want an all-in-one setup

A common setup is:

  • Tax prep software for the actual returns
  • Tax workflow tool for client portal, tasks, approvals, document collection, and team coordination

If you want, I can also give you:

  2. the best choice depending on firm size.
