Built for tax professionals

Your team bills for expertise — not hold music

CPA, EA, and tax-attorney teams know the drill: dial Practitioner Priority Service (PPS), wait, get a courtesy disconnect, start over. None of that hold time is billable. Engage IQ IRS Fast Connect pre-holds PPS access so you don’t lose your place — and connects your team when an IRS agent is available, with client context already in the workspace.

01

Dead hold time

Multi-hour waits and courtesy disconnects eat peak-season capacity — with nothing you can put on a client invoice.

02

Tool sprawl

Phone system + tax software + a separate queue service means three tools for one IRS call.

03

Unpredictable peak cost

Add-on credits that spike when demand is highest make capacity planning harder when you need it most.

Client experience

Client on the bridge when IRS is ready

One of the biggest wins tax pros want: have the client on the line for an authorized, professional conversation — without making them sit through multi-hour hold music.

Assisted

Client-assisted IRS calls

When an agent is ready, connect practitioner + client + IRS with authorization already verified — first-class service your clients feel.

Prep

Productive while you wait

Queue IRS work in the morning, prep returns or notes while Engage IQ holds PPS, then claim the line when notified.

Auth

Authorization first

Designed around Forms 2848 / 8821 / 8655 so you’re ready for a compliant, client-ready connection.

Engage IQ workspace

Hold the line. Prep the case. Connect ready.

While Engage IQ pre-holds PPS, your team builds taxpayer context — entity, tax year, issue type, authorization — so the moment an IRS agent is available, you’re not scrambling.

How Engage IQ works

Reserve. Prep. Connect when ready.

A practitioner workflow inside Engage IQ — pre-hold, case prep, and connect without leaving the platform. Multiple IRS departments from one firm queue.

PPS Individual PPS Business Collections AUR More depts
01

Reserve the PPS line

Request the IRS department you need in Engage IQ. We pre-hold Practitioner Priority Service access in the background — so a courtesy disconnect doesn’t wipe your day.

02

Prep client context while you wait

Entity type, tax year, issue type, authorization status, and notes — ready on screen before you join.

03

Connect when an agent is ready

Your team is notified; first ready practitioner claims the call. Optionally bring the client on the bridge for an assisted conversation.

Billing

Talk time, not credit packs

Category tools often bill dynamic credits that spike at peak. Engage IQ is designed around transparent, connected-call economics — pay for resolution work, not dead hold.

Model

Connected talk time

Target shape: plan or per connected call — aligned to billable work, not opaque credit burn while waiting.

Peak

Predictable capacity

Peak season shouldn’t mean surprise bills. Capacity planning stays human-readable for firm owners.

Stack

One platform bill

No separate queue-vendor subscription next to your phone system and tax software.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

Do I need Forms 2848 / 8821 / 8655?

Yes — valid third-party authorization is required for practitioner IRS access. Engage IQ is designed around that hygiene, not around skipping it.

Which IRS departments can we use?

Start with Practitioner Priority Service (Individual & Business), Collections, and AUR from one firm queue — with more department coverage as your account expands.

How is this different from CallEnQ / enQ?

Same job — skip dead IRS hold time — but native to Engage IQ: client context, team claim, and talk-time billing without a separate PIN portal. See the CallEnQ alternative page.

How does billing work?

Designed around connected talk time and transparent plans — not dynamic credit packs that spike at peak. Pricing · Sign up.

Can we run client outreach on the same platform?

Yes. Tax resolution and prep firms can attach dialer, scoring, and compliance products on Engage IQ when they’re ready. Start with Platform.
