What can CCH Axcess Scan do for you?

Faster, more accurate data ingestion starts here

 K‑1 processing is one of the most complex and time-consuming parts of tax preparation, often requiring hours of manual entry, reconciliation, and review. 

CCH Axcess Scan, powered by Expert AI transforms that process with AI-powered K‑1 automation and built-in human validation. It ingests documents, extracts and validates data from all tax source documents, including complex K-1s, and prepares it for seamless use in CCH Axcess Tax.  

The result: faster turnaround, fewer errors, and more control before the return. 


  • Take control of document intake

  • Extract and validate with Expert AI

  • Centralize K-1 complexity

  • Prepare data before it reaches the return

Eliminate intake bottlenecks and get work moving faster from the start


  • Bottleneck: Manual K-1 intake and preparation delays slow work before it starts

    Manual intake, sorting, and prep work slow down processing before it even begins, creating bottlenecks and wasting valuable staff time. 

  • Automated K-1 ingestion and classification speeds work kickoff
    Automates document ingestion across multiple sources and intelligently classifies tax source documents, including K-1s, so work starts faster with less manual intervention.  
  • Faster intake with less admin work from day one
    Accelerate intake, reduce administrative burden, and free up staff to focus on higher-value tasks from day one of the workflow.

Reduce manual entry and speed review with intelligent data extraction


  • Bottleneck: Manual entry and basic OCR miss data in complex K-1s
    Traditional OCR and manual entry struggle with complex K-1 formats, especially supplemental statements and multi-tier partnerships, leading to incomplete data, rework, and review delays.  
  • Expert AI extracts complex K-1 data and flags only exceptions
    Uses Expert AI to accurately extract data across complex K-1 formats and surfaces only exceptions for review, so teams focus attention where it’s actually needed.  
  • Higher accuracy and faster reviews with less manual effort
    Improve data accuracy, reduce manual entry, and significantly speed up review cycles, without sacrificing control.  

Bring all K-1 data into one place for complete visibility and control


  • Bottleneck: Disconnected K-1 data across spreadsheets and systems limits visibility
    K-1 data often lives across spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected systems, making it difficult to track changes, reconcile inconsistencies, and maintain audit-ready transparency.  
  • Centralized K-1 data management with built-in reconciliation and control
    Brings K-1 data into K-1 Manager to organize, reconcile, reclassify, and validate it, with full visibility and reviewer control. 
  • Full visibility and stronger quality control across every return
    Gain end-to-end visibility, strengthen quality control, and streamline collaboration across teams, reducing risk and improving confidence in every return.

Catch errors earlier and reduce costly downstream rework


  • Bottleneck: Late-stage error detection creates rework and delays
    Errors discovered during or after tax return preparation trigger time-consuming corrections, rework, and missed deadlines, especially when validation happens too late.  
  • Upstream validation ensures K-1 data is complete before prep
    Applies validation and review controls upstream, ensuring K-1 data is complete and accurate before it flows into the tax return.  
  • Less rework and faster, more accurate return preparation
    Minimize rework, accelerate return preparation, and deliver more accurate filings, while reducing deadline pressure during busy season.
