Who This Is For

DDE 6695 is designed for tax preparation offices that handle earned income credit (EIC), child tax credit, and other refundable credits subject to IRC §6695 due-diligence requirements. It helps preparers document their compliance process in an organized, searchable format.

Tax offices preparing EIC and refundable credit returns
Offices seeking structured documentation for IRS due-diligence audits
Firms wanting searchable electronic records instead of paper checklists

The Problem It Addresses

Tax preparers face penalties under IRC §6695(g) when due-diligence requirements are not met for refundable credits. Paper-based Form 8867 checklists can be lost, incomplete, or difficult to retrieve during audits. DDE 6695 provides a structured digital system for recording due-diligence steps, capturing client responses, and preserving revision history.

Illustrative Workflow — Not a Feature Guarantee

How a Preparer Might Use DDE 6695

Create a case record — Open a new case for the client and tax year, linking to the return being prepared.
Document the interview — Record client responses to due-diligence questions required by Form 8867.
Capture supporting details — Note employment details, residency information, and other facts supporting credit eligibility.
Review conflict flags — System highlights potential inconsistencies between client statements and prior-year data.
Seal the record — Once satisfied, seal the revision to preserve the audit trail with timestamp.

This workflow describes intended use based on development testing. Actual capabilities depend on configuration and deployment. Not all steps may be available in every version.
