New Features & Enhancements
TriTech continually strives to provide a better product for our clients. These features are designed to improve your experience with Premium Pro. You can look for these handy enhancements when you update to the 2014-15 software.
The Attach to feature allows you to print an item, such as a credit worksheet or return, directly into the Attachment Frame of another return. This means you do not have to print an item to PDF, save it, and then open the Attachment Frame and attach the PDF. You can simply print the item straight to the Attachment Frame.
There is now an easy way to view important items that may need to be addressed before processing and completing a return. Return audits are now available via the Audit Frame, which you access and view just as you do the Attachment Frame and Return Instructions.
We have made some visual enhancements as well to help you navigate the software. For instance, if there are no instructions for the return that is currently open, there will be a red X through the Return Instructions icon. And a visual indicator, a green e, will appear beside the return name in the active tree for electronic filings that have been successfully transmitted. Also, you may view read-only versions of the Premium Tax Annual Schedules from the FormsPlus module so you don’t lose time switching between modules.
We are also continually working to make the efiling process easier and more streamlined. Confirmation emails will be sent out for all electronic filing submissions through the software. When using the Efile Assistant, both failed and successfully transmitted electronic filings will be noted in the Actions report.
New efile states via Premium Pro:
New York CT33 filings
Louisiana Annual Returns

On a mission...
 Sally Agreda, TriTech tax preparer, and Kassidy Stroup, former TriTech administrative assistant, recently returned from a mission trip to Panama to spread the Word of God and help build a Youth with a Mission base to serve the local community. TriTech customer service rep Karen Sourber’s daughters, Faith and Julia, went to Ecuador on mission focused on giving the tribal children unconditional love while sharing the love and salvation offered by God. Robby McCollom, TriTech President, and his son Colton kept it closer to home by doing construction work for a nonprofit Arkansas organization called S.T.A.N.D. that gives troubled women a free place to live, and helps them get a G.E.D. and learn teachings from the Bible.
Sally was reported to be the best translator on the Panama trip, while Kassidy Stroup was touched by the simple happiness that each child possessed that just doesn’t exist here in America.
“I remember hiking with an indigenous boy named Carlo and he stopped us in the middle of our hike and picked up a string that was lying on the ground. He had the biggest smile on his face and you could just see how much joy he had with nothing. Every child was like that! It didn’t matter if they were climbing on our backs or dancing with us or us just talking to them. They were the happiest kids I have ever met,” Kassidy said.
Faith and Julia Sourber braved the area of Ecuador where the famous missionary Jim Elliot was killed in the 1950’s when attempting to reach a tribal people for Christ. He, his pilot and three others were killed by the tribe. The tribal people were later reached by Jim Elliot’s wife and are now Christian due to her willingness to forgive and still be used by God to reach the very people who killed her husband. The children were so eager to join the camp that most of them traveled by themselves through the jungle or mountains and by boat across rivers over several days to attend. Faith and Julia can’t wait to go back and want to intern themselves so they can stay much longer.
 Robby and Colton McCollom took a mission trip with high school students that started out as a group of volunteers going to relieve some of the damage done by storms that hit the Arkansas area. They ended up looking for another project where they were more needed and they found themselves doing work with the Habitat for Humanity of Faulkner County's "A Brush with Kindness" Project (ABWK) through S.T.A.N.D. There will now be less homeless women on streets in Arkansas thanks to the hard work of these Texas volunteers. (Read the full mission trip story here.)
Software developers by day, athletes by night...
Matt Boydston, new to TriTech’s Premium Tax group, is currently training as a weightlifter for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Jessica Jennings, TriTech software developer, is an accomplished runner and has qualified to run in the Boston Marathon.
 Matt trains six to seven days a week, between two and three hours a day. He first began training specifically for weightlifting sometime around July of 2014. Based on history, the United States will most likely only be able send one or two weightlifters to the 2020 Olympics. Matt must at least double both of his best in-competition lifts to have a chance at going to the Olympics. This goal may seem impossible to some, but Matt’s determination does not waiver.
“I’ve only been lifting for a few months, but I feel I’ve made good progress considering my short time spent in the sport. It’s said that you need to log at least 7000+ hours of training to completely hone your technique, so I’ve still got a ways to go. I know with absolute certainty that I will achieve my goals because I will work harder and want it more than anyone else,” Matt said. (Read Matt's full story here.)
 Jessica had been running for about five years when she found herself in Reno, NV last year for Premium Pro training and the National Premium Tax Conference. While there, she entered her first full 26.2 mile marathon. She did not have the Boston Marathon in her sights at all because she didn’t dream it was even possible for her to qualify. Her goal was to just finish the race, but she still gave it her all.
“I have found that most athletic activities, including running, really are mind over matter. Your body will do a whole lot more than you think it will if you just don’t give up,” said Jessica.
Not only did Jessica qualify, she did so with almost five minutes to spare. Her goal for the big race is to beat her previous time by at least one minute. The 2015 Boston Marathon will be held on Patriots' Day in Massachusetts on Monday, April 20. Run Jess, run! We will be rooting for you. (Read Jessica's full story here.) |
