“CCH Axcess is the agentic platform for tax and accounting, redefining the experience for both professionals and their clients,” said Cathy Rowe, Executive Vice President and Segment Leader, U.S. Professional Market, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting. “Agentic tax preparation marks a significant shift in how tax work gets done. It helps firms create more capacity without sacrificing quality or control, so professionals can focus their expertise where it matters most.” However, this new set of features is embedded within the CCH Axcess Tax platform, and not delivered separately as an application. Tax preparers will still need to examine, validate, and authorize the returns before filing. This release is in keeping with the overall trend toward using AI to augment professional services.
