Two doors.
One record behind them.

A portal for the processors doing the closing, an API for the platforms doing the originating. An order placed through either one shows up in both — same artifacts, same audit trail.

For loan teams · the portal

Enter it once. Download a form that’s already filled out.

The 8821 comes back pre-populated from what you typed — taxpayer, TIN, address, form, years, our CAF — with only the signature line blank. It goes through your own closing process. We never contact your borrower.

  • Election status (Entity Transcript / Form 2553) check before we pull — $19.99 add-on.
  • Your own spreadsheet columns — no template to reformat.
  • Per-processor billing breakdown for managers.
  • Rejections never billed · nothing re-pulls on its own.
For platforms · the API

Verification as an endpoint, in your schema.

One POST creates a verification; a webhook returns parsed JSON, raw IRS HTML, and PDF — shaped to a schema you name. Built to scale without the bottlenecks that stall high-volume pulls.

  • REST + webhooks · idempotency keys by contract.
  • Name your response schema — we version it.
  • API orders visible in the portal to underwriters.
  • Wholesale lane for resellers and LOS platforms.
02 · Built for

The teams
underwriting America.

Lenders come to us when a slow transcript would cost them a closing. We're built for the workflows that can't afford to.

03 · Choose your surface

A portal for teams.
An API for everyone else.

Whether you live in spreadsheets or in a terminal, ModernTax meets you where the work happens — without forcing you to change tools to fit ours.

For loan teams

The dashboard your processors will actually use.

Submit borrowers, track every request to the minute, and download verified files when they're ready. No new vendor portal to learn — it works the way your shop already works.

For developers

Transcript verification as a one-line POST.

For platforms embedding tax data into a product. Predictable contracts, idempotent retries, webhook-driven async — written by people who shipped fintech APIs before.

04 · Why we built this
Matt Parker, founder of ModernTax

We started ModernTax after watching a $4.2M SBA closing slip a quarter because a transcript request fell into a fax queue. The data already exists at the IRS. The problem isn't access — it's access designed for the people who actually need it.
