Processing

An invoice amount must be entered during processing. 

  1. Navigate to the Invoices section. 
  2. Enter an Invoice Amount (required).
  3. Select whether or not to send an invoice with this return
  4. Select whether or not to Require taxpayer to pay invoice prior to reviewing the tax return (only available with the Stripe and CPA Charge integrations).
  5. Click Replace Invoice to replace the existing invoice or upload a new one.  

Client Experience

Clients can download or pay their invoices based on your firm's settings. 

Once the client authenticates and navigates to the Review section, they see the invoice and the option to Pay Now. This either opens a new tab to your third-party payment URL, Aiwyn payment URL, or a Stripe or CPACharge payment box appears. 

If Stripe or CPACharge invoicing is enabled and the  Require taxpayer to pay invoice prior to reviewing the tax return option was selected during processing, the taxpayer cannot continue until payment has been made. 

If the Make Payment outside of SSR System option was selected in your firm settings, the taxpayer only has the option to Continue; they do not have the option to Pay Now. 

Access the return as outlined in the Client Experience help center article. 

  1. Navigate to the Review section. 
  2. Review the Invoice.
  3. Click Pay Now to be directed to the Aiwyn site to pay OR
  4. Click Pay Later & Continue to review and pay the invoice later.
