Summary Annual Reports
Producing Summary Annual Reports used to mean leaving Stax.ai and retyping figures from every filing.
Now the Generate Summary Annual Report automation builds them straight from the Form 5500’s you've already filed. Figures come from the filing, the wording follows the DOL's prescribed language, and each report carries your TPA branded letterhead and its furnishing deadline. Set it up once for your firm and run it on one plan or your whole book. Read more
Extract & File
Drop files into one folder and Extract & File moves each one into the right plan or company folder, matching on plan ID, plan name, company name, website or EIN. Anything it can't match stays put and shows up in the results. Run it from the Extract & File button on any folder in Files, or as an automation. Read more
