| Trustfile Signs Reselling Agreement With Independent
Systems; Independent Systems to Include Trustfile Functionality
Within Its Sales and Use Tax Solutions |
BATON ROUGE, La., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Trustfile, the leader in
electronic state sales and use tax e-filing and payment technology, has
entered into a reselling agreement with Independent Systems and Programming,
developer of affordable sales and use tax calculation software, databases and
forms. As part of the agreement, Independent Systems will market Trustfile to
its customers worldwide, for the first time offering them an electronic
alternative to paper-based state sales and use tax filings.
"The days of paper filings are numbered and we are excited that
Independent Systems has looked to Trustfile as the premier electronic filing
solution to offer their customers," said King Woolf, Trustfile's President and
Chief Operating Officer. "Independent Systems is a respected name in ERP,
financial and accounting industries and our agreement reflects the increasing
demand for reliable electronic sales and use tax filing technology."
More and more state departments of revenue are requiring that sales and
use tax returns be filed electronically. For that reason, Independent Systems
also announced plans to integrate Trustfile technology into its software,
allowing users to electronically submit their returns and payment online.
With the click of a mouse, users can access Trustfile, importing data onto
tax reporting forms directly from the files created by Independent Systems'
interface. Trustfile lets users file one day and set the payment for a later
date, and print a return for review before transmitting, making error checking
easy. Trustfile technology transmits the completed returns in one session
without having to log in and out or re-enter passwords.
"Independent Systems customers are seeking a fully integrated, affordable
solution for preparing and filing state tax returns," said John Osman,
President. "Every day, our new customers ask about how to handle electronic
filing and we now have an industry-leading solution. Via our partnership with
Trustfile, we will offer our customers the option of both paper-based and
electronic filing within our product set. As more and more states require
electronic filing in lieu of paper-based returns, Independent Systems
customers will be ready."
Trustfile currently processes approximately $8 billion in business taxes
annually and allows users to prepare, file and pay their taxes in multiple
states: Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
Thirteen states currently have mandates in place for the electronic filing
of individual income tax returns or are in the process of moving to a
paperless environment. Eighteen states have required electronic filing
programs for sales tax or withholding tax filings. "Electronic filing mandates
are becoming an established feature of the tax administration landscape,"
Woolf said. "Trustfile is a logical tool for Independent Systems to help
their customers comply with e-filing requirements."
