Return Readiness Calculator
Your Next Hire Might Be an Intake Problem.
Before adding another seasonal admin or asking preparers to work longer hours, find out how much capacity your firm is losing before preparation even starts.
Calculate My Return Readiness
Find out how much capacity your firm is losing before preparation even starts.
Your firm's numbers
Estimates are fine. Adjust anything that doesn't match your season.
Individual and business returns your firm completes in a season.
Share of clients who submit without everything you actually need.
Follow-up, re-opening the file, and re-orienting after the client responds.
Preparer and admin time, fully loaded.
Capacity lost before prep
Spent per season getting returns ready after a preparer has already opened them.
That time, priced at your blended hourly cost.
Full 40-hour weeks of staff capacity, consumed before preparation begins.
Roughly 825 returns a season reach a preparer before they're actually ready. Every 10 points you recover gives back about 55 hours.
This is an estimate based on the figures you entered — arithmetic on your own numbers, not a projection of Docuzard results.
What This Number Actually Represents
It isn't preparation time. It's the work that happens around preparation — following up on missing documents, re-opening a file after a client responds, and re-orienting to a return someone already started once.
At a handful of returns, that's an annoyance. At a few thousand, it is payroll. A few unnecessary minutes per return turns into weeks of lost staff capacity across a season — capacity you are currently buying with overtime and seasonal hires.
Docuzard moves that work upstream, so the file is complete before a preparer ever opens it.
