TN Customers: August Update Will Introduce Trustfile software
2 June 03 (Transcript of customer letter)


This August, your update from Florida Software will do more than simply refresh the current TN tax laws and e-filing requirements – It will bring your business tax process to a completely new level of ease, accuracy, and efficiency with the introduction of Trustfile software.

Florida Software Inc. is becoming Florida Software Inc., a division of Trustfile. Trustfile will be the new name for enhanced, next-generation products and services from a company that you know and trust.

Trustfile software does everything TNFile software did, with added features that make your tax preparation, filing and payment process easier than ever before possible. In addition to a new user interface that is much like a web site, Trustfile software offers a few key enhancements:

• Direct data mapping from Microsoft Excel. Trustfile software users can quickly and easily create direct maps between existing Excel worksheets and our application. After a one-time wizard-based mapping process, the monthly exercise of preparing tax returns becomes as easy as clicking a button.

• Single interface for multi-state filers. Trustfile software eliminates the need to manage multiple applications for multiple states. Enter data once, tell the Trustfile application which states and/or localities you file to, and the requested returns are compiled. As Trustfile continues to expand our platform nationally beyond FL, SC and TN, we will add additional states and localities so the software can grow with your business.

• Enhanced error checking and notification. We’ve refined the internal auditing capability so that the Trustfile application compiles and checks your return, and then delivers a clear list of errors (items that must be fixed) and warnings (items that simply require a confirmation).

• Streamlined update process. After a one-time full software install from your new product CD, future updates will be faster and less cumbersome than before. An “auto-update” menu option within the program allows you to download updates quickly and easily.

And this is just the beginning. With the new Trustfile software platform in place, we will continue ongoing development to meet your needs and ensure Trustfile remains a long-term partner to Tennessee businesses.

Your new software installation CD will ship the first week in August. Follow the instructions that will accompany the CD to load the software and import your existing data from previous versions of TNFile software.

In the meantime, when you next visit us on the web, you’ll find the Florida Software site redirects you to our new home on the web, www.trustfile.com. There, you will see a completely new look, with the same support and tools you rely on.

As always, we welcome your comments and questions. Please feel free to contact us at info@trustfile.com.
