Sample Digital Tax Documents

When we use the term "Digital Tax Documents" we mean documents that can be read by a computer program without resorting to optical character recognition or PDF parsing. Digital tax documents come in 3 formats:

1. JSON Files

Tax document data is represented using Financial Data Exchange standard schemas and serialized to JSON. JSON can be easily read by virtually all programming languages.

2. QR Tax Documents

A QR code containing the tax document data is placed on tax documents. Tax software smart phone apps can scan the code and ingest the data into the tax return of the user.

3. Intelligent Tax Documents®

Tax document data as JSON is embedded in the document properties of portable document format files. The JSON can be readily extracted and deserialized when the PDF file is uploaded to tax software.

Resources for Developers

Check out the software development kits (SDKs) and Docker images available to help you produce truly digital tax documents.
