Questions, answered

Does it file anything with the IRS automatically?

No. WebRun only tracks and surfaces upcoming deadlines. All filing actions are performed by your team. Nothing is submitted to the IRS or any tax authority without explicit human action.

Which deadlines does it track in Neo.Tax?

It tracks Form 6765 filing dates, amended return windows, payroll-tax-offset election deadlines, and any other compliance dates associated with active R&D credit engagements.

What if a deadline changes after it is added to the calendar?

WebRun re-reads Neo.Tax every Monday, so updated dates are reflected in the sheet and calendar the following week. It only adds or updates events and never deletes existing ones.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
