Is TaxStatus tax resolution software?

Not in the casework sense. It supplies IRS data and alerts but no collection forms or strategy tools.

Does TaxStatus have a monthly plan?

It lists $1,000 a month with a one-year commitment, or $10,000 a year, for up to 240 households.

Head to head

Brevitax Pro or TaxStatus for IRS data?

Short answer

Brevitax Pro is the right tool for a solo practitioner who needs to resolve cases; TaxStatus is a monitoring platform priced for firms with hundreds of households. At $948 against $10,000 a year, Brevitax costs less than a tenth as much and includes the forms, strategy, and verification TaxStatus does not.

Where do Brevitax Pro and TaxStatus differ most?

TaxStatus watches a large book for audits, collection activity, penalties, and refunds. It is useful for finding problems. It does not resolve them.

Brevitax pulls the transcripts for clients you are working and takes the case to a result. A practice could run both; a solo practitioner rarely needs to.
