Grant a team member access to your email inbox with Delegated Triage, stay on top of IRS activities with the TaxNow integration, and navigate client documents with ease.

TRIAGE

Introducing Delegated Triage: Manage email on behalf of others (beta)

Grant a team member access to your Triage email inbox —whether you're stepping away for leave or working with an assistant. Delegated Triage allows trusted colleagues to manage your email and all Triage functions including notes, tasks, client requests, and work assignments, so nothing gets missed when you're offline.

Key capabilities:

  • Temporarily or permanently delegate your Triage to one or more colleagues

  • Delegates can manage emails, reply as themselves, and assign, clear, add items to timelines

  • Maintain full visibility—both the delegator and delegate can view and take action

  • Delegation can be updated or removed at any time

This feature supports real-world collaboration needs, especially in larger firms or during staff absences, making Karbon even more flexible and reliable for day-to-day communication management.

INTEGRATIONS & API

IRS transcripts, powered by TaxNow

The new Karbon and TaxNow integration brings real-time IRS transcripts and notices monitoring directly into your client timelines and workflows in Karbon. With this integration, you are better positioned to be a proactive tax advisor than ever before.

What’s new:

  • Automated IRS transcript monitoring: TaxNow runs nightly checks and automatically pushes relevant IRS transcript updates directly into client timelines in Karbon with smart client matching.

  • Priority-based notifications integrated with Karbon: Intelligent alert routing sends low-priority updates to client timelines, medium-priority alerts tag client managers, and high-priority alerts notify both client owners and managers with automatic Triage notifications.

  • Complete transparency with source documentation: Every alert includes one-click access to raw IRS transcripts and structured data showing IRS codes, tax periods, forms, dates, and amounts for quick review and client communication.

  • Seamless client history integration: All IRS activity becomes part of the permanent client timeline in Karbon, working alongside existing notes, tasks, and communication records.

This integration is ideal for firms managing tax resolutions or IRS representations. By streamlining how IRS activity is handled, Karbon and TaxNow ensure your firm is always the first to know and is the first to advise.
