VAULTLINES SMART INTAKE

Tax documents in. Prep-ready files out.

Clients tap your secure link, snap their W-2s and 1099s, and VaultLines's AI reads, names and files every document into the end client and tax-year folder — then reminds anyone who hasn't finished. No WhatsApp threads, no blurry photos, no manual sorting.

Built from last year's return, so clients only answer what applies to them.

No credit card. No demo required — but happy to show you around.

The problem

Your clients already send you documents. Just not safely.

W-2s in a WhatsApp chat. A blurry 1099 by text. A Social Security card in someone's email. VaultLines gives every client one secure link instead.

WhatsApp, text & email

  • Files get lost in long chats and inboxes
  • Blurry, sideways phone photos
  • Sensitive tax data sitting on personal phones
  • No organization — you rename and file everything by hand
  • No record of who sent what, or when

VaultLines secure upload links

  • Every file lands in the end client and tax-year folder
  • Phone photos combined into one clean PDF
  • Encrypted, private storage — only your firm can see it
  • Auto-filed and searchable by client, year and file name
  • Full audit trail and instant upload alerts
