The Multi-Site Online Renewal feature allows parent account owners to renew their tax products for multiple sub-accounts directly through the Drake Software Support website. This streamlined process eliminates the need to contact Drake Software's accounting department for renewals, saving time and improving efficiency for all eligible customers.

Benefits

  • Save time by renewing multiple sub-accounts in a single, efficient online session.

  • Orders are processed promptly upon completion of the online renewal.

  • Manage renewals directly, giving you greater oversight of your accounts.

Important  Before continuing, ensure all sub-account details are accurate and up-to-date, and have your payment details ready to expedite the checkout process.

Detailed Process

  1. Log in to the Drake Software Support website with your master account username and password.

  2. On the left, select Account > Sub-Offices.

  3. On the Sub-offices management page, view the list of sub-accounts.
