Auto-Approve and Auto-File Feature

Features that Save Your Time & Prevent Delays and Even Penalties

Updated this week

Kintsugi’s Auto-Approve and Auto-File features simplify your monthly tax filings by automating both the approval and submission process — helping you stay compliant and on time.

Auto-File: Automatically generates filings of your approved taxes on the 1st day of the month.

Auto-Approve: Automatically approves your monthly filing every 5th of the month, eliminating manual reviews.

These features ensure your filings are automatically approved and submitted on time each month.


How Monthly Filing Works

  1. Filing generation:

    On the 1st day of the month, Kintsugi generates your monthly filing for review.

  2. Reviewing the Generated Filing

    Customers can check the summary information for each filing.

    If there are any issues, you can set a pause up to the 15th of the month.

    • To ensure timely submission, review and approve any edits at least three business days before the 15th of the month. This allows our team time to process and file your return without delays.

  3. Automatic approval and filing:

    If you have not paused the filing, it will automatically be processed on the 5th of the month.

  4. Need more time?

  • Use the "Pause" feature if you need additional time to review or fix details in a filing and want to prevent it from being automatically approved (and locked).

  • Please refer to this help article for more information: How to Pause a Filing to Prevent Auto-Approval

  • To avoid delays or potential penalties, please ensure any necessary changes are made in advance.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Since filings are auto-approved by default, your return will be automatically submitted unless the 'pause' feature is activated.


Important Note on Coverage

AutoFile only applies to current and upcoming filings.
It does not include overdue or back filings.

If you have past-due returns, those must be handled through a separate manual filing process.
