Drake Software has introduced Drake Audit Defense™, a post-filing audit defense service intended to assist tax professionals in supporting their clients after tax returns are filed. This new service expands the company's offerings beyond tax preparation, allowing firms to save time and enhance client value.

Available for Tax Year 2026, Drake Audit Defense is accessible to existing Drake Software customers. Tax professionals can enroll clients by logging into their accounts on the company's website.

By alleviating the administrative workload associated with post-filing issues, this new offering enables firms to focus on delivering better service to their clients. Alice Curry, Chief Customer Officer at Drake Software, stated, “Tax professionals are looking for more than software, they're looking for solutions that help them run more efficient practices and deliver exceptional client experiences.”

Drake Audit Defense integrates into existing workflows, making it easy for tax professionals to offer the service during the tax preparation process. This integration aims to provide clients with reliable support from credentialed tax experts when they encounter post-filing challenges.

This launch is part of Drake Software's ongoing strategy to provide thorough solutions that cover the entire client journey, from initial intake through to post-filing support. The new service aligns with the company's goal of offering an interconnected experience that enhances operational efficiency for tax professionals.
