Tax Facts at Your Fingertips
The flat tax is a great idea, but law firms that handle tax-related issues need not worry. Too many special interests have their hand in the tax code for that too happen. In fact, the tax code will likely grow more complex, not less. As a result, you'll need better research tools.
IntelliConnect … in One Sentence
Wolters Kluwer's IntelliConnect is a tax-oriented online research service that combines the previously separate services, Tax Research NetWork and Internet Research NetWork.
The Killer Feature
When you consider that we all used tabs in our trapper keepers in grade school, why exactly did it take so long for Web browsers to have tabs? Who knows but we all use them now that we have them.
Wolters Kluwer understands the popularity of tabbed browsing and has taken it several steps further.
IntelliConnect enables you to maintain up to five searches at once using its search tabs. In addition, each search result has a checkbox. If you check it, IntelliConnect saves the accompanying document in the Document Tray. IntelliConnect also keeps track of your search history much as Web browsers keep track of the Web sites you visit.
Other Notable Features
You can conduct research by browsing or searching. If your searches pull up too much information, you can apply filters such as document type (explanations, laws, regulations, etc.), practice tools, jurisdiction, state tax type, and more. You can also search within a search and save searches.
IntelliConnect's tri-screen display enables you to view your search results and specific documents simultaneously. It works like an email preview pane with your search results on top and the specific document you've selected below. When you find a relevant document, you can print it or save it in PDF or text format. You can email documents too.
What Else Should You Know?
IntelliConnect also includes CCH's Tracker News, which
enables you to receive alerts about important developments
via email or RSS feed. Pricing depends on which libraries
you need to access and other factors. Learn more about
