AboutInstead

500firmsBigFourteamsandenterprisecorporatetaxdepartmentsarechoosingInstead.

What makes us unique: we hold full government approvals with the IRS 48 states and all cities to e-fileS and 1065 with 706 and 2290 coming for tax year 2026. No one else can offer this and no one else will for years as it takes that long to pass government approvals. This lets us build product experiences that are simply unmatched in the market.
