April

What is April?

April is an AI-powered tax engine that lets financial platforms offer tax filing, planning and estimation under their own brand. Rather than a consumer tax app, it is infrastructure: partners embed April's flows inside their existing products so tax stops being a once-a-year silo. The vendor says it holds IRS e-file authorization in all 50 states.

Key capabilities of April

• Embedded filing: customizable filing flows with AI features meant to reduce errors, self-serve or with professional preparation.
• Tax planning: estimates the tax impact of equity transactions, Roth conversions and retirement income.
• AI tax answers: personalized guidance and answers to tax questions at decision points.
• Transcript API: access to up to 7 years of tax data with taxpayer written authorization.
• Data and insights: asset-level detail across tax forms and AI-driven queries.
• IRS e-file: authorized e-filing in all 50 states, per the vendor.

How April works

A platform integrates April's filing and planning components into its app and applies its own branding. End users file themselves or with professional preparation, and planning tools estimate how decisions affect taxes. Through the transcript API, with the taxpayer's written authorization, the platform can pull multiple years of tax data to drive insights and advice.

Who uses April?

April serves wealth management firms, banks and fintechs, and SMB and gig-economy platforms, and offers developer resources. The site names Gusto and includes a Robinhood executive testimonial. The vendor lists SOC 1 and SOC 2 certifications.

April pricing

April does not publish pricing. Platforms contact the vendor, and cost likely depends on the embedding scope and volume.

April alternatives

Brex provides corporate cards and spend management for businesses, so it handles company spend rather than tax filing for individuals. Vic.ai automates accounts payable invoice processing with AI, a finance back-office tool unrelated to individual tax filing.
