Available July 10 for Drake Tax Online users
We’re excited to introduce Drake SmartExtract (Beta): a new AI-powered feature designed to reduce manual data entry and help you move through returns faster.
Beginning July 10, Drake Tax Online (DTO) users can start using SmartExtract at no additional cost during the beta period. Desktop users—don’t worry—Drake Tax Desktop support is coming later this year.
