Tax Folders Buyers Guide

Another tax filing season is now upon us, and accountants and tax preparers across the country are busy preparing for "The Season" by stocking up on everything they need to prepare their clients' tax returns.

One popular item that they're stocking up on is tax folders. Tax folders (also referred to as tax return folders) are a great way to neatly organize even the most complex tax returns with their accompanying schedules, withholding statements and information returns. More importantly, they make a polished presentation when giving clients their copies of the finished tax return.

And make no mistake about it, clients who receive their tax returns in a tax folder tend to view their accountant or tax preparer in a more professional light, which instills greater confidence that their return has been properly prepared. As a client, what would you rather receive – your tax return presented in a professional-looking folder or stuffed in a non-descript envelope?

At PocketFoldersStore.com, we manufacture a wide variety of different tax folders, ranging from elegant personalized foil-stamped folders and printed tax folders to economical software-compatible tax folders. So, how do you decide which one is right for you? It really comes down to the type of practice that you run, the type of clients that you service, the image that you want to project, and, of course, your budget.

Foil-Stamped Tax Folders

Our foil-stamped tax folders are available in three different paper stocks – 80 lb. linen, 80 lb. marble or a heavy 100 lb. texture, each available in your choice of colors. Each one is gold foil stamped with the title "Tax Returns", your logo and your company information. Both the 80 lb. linen and the 100 lb. texture have a rich, sturdy look and feel. The 80 lb. marble is a glossy, plastic-laminated stock with a distinctive look.

Each of these folders has two inside pockets and are available in your choice of pocket construction – standard pockets or expansion pockets. Standard pockets can hold up to 30 sheets of paper per pocket. Folders with expansion pockets can hold up to 100 sheets of paper, which is great for thicker tax returns, and will still lie flat when closed.

All folders come with slits to hold your business card on the right-side pocket at no additional charge.

Printed Tax Folders

All of our printed tax folders are made of 65 lb. felt weave cover stock, and are available in 4 colors. Each one features the title "Tax Returns" and is personalized with your logo and company information printed in black ink. As with our foil-stamped tax folders, you have your choice of standard pocket or expansion pocket construction.

Stock Tax Folders

We offer four different groups of stock tax folders:

1040 Window Folders – These folders feature a die-cut window that shows the client's name and address as printed on the tax return. These non-personalized folders are made of 65 lb. ivory felt weave cover stock and are available in two styles, both with a choice of top or side-staple tabs. These folders do not include pockets.

Client Copy Tax Folders – These folders are printed with the title "Client Copy" and include instructions for retaining tax records and receipts. These non-personalized folders are made of 65 lb felt weave in your choice of white or ivory in two styles – a 2-pocket version or a side-staple version with no pockets.

Embossed Tax Folders – These professional-looking folders are blind embossed with a choice of four stylish designs. They are made of our deluxe 80 lb. linen cover stock and available in you choice of dark blue or maroon.  Each folder comes with two standard pockets and can be personalized by inserting your business card in the die-cut business card slits on the right-side pocket.

Software-Compatible Tax Folders –

We refer to this group of folders as being "software-compatible" since they are designed to be used with the many popular tax preparation software programs used by accountants and tax preparers. These programs print out a cover sheet that includes name and address of both the client and the tax preparer. The cover sheet and the tax returns are placed in a folder that has die-cut double windows that allow the information on the cover sheet to show in the windows. Since each tax preparation program prints the cover sheet in a different format, we offer a wide selection of folders specifically designed for each program.

These tax folders are all made of our deluxe 80 lb. Linen cover stock and are available in Dark Blue, Green or Maroon.  Each one features blind embossed detailing on the front cover for an impressive, professional appearance. Because they do not require personalization, they are also extremely affordable which accounts for their great popularity.

Most of them include a single standard pocket (with business card slits) to hold clients' Forms W-2, 1098, 1099, etc. In addition, most are available with the option of side-staple tabs or top-staple tabs for attaching the tax returns to the folder.

In Conclusion –

PocketFoldersStore.com offers one of the most comprehensive collections of tax folders available with styles and prices for every taste and budget.
