What is Populate LITE?
Populate LITE is a new GruntWorx product being offered exclusively to Drake Tax Software customers.

Populate LITE users still receive an organized, bookmarked, and searchable PDF, as well as an XML file with extracted data to import directly into the client’s return.
Key Features:
- Self-validated product
- Turnaround time in minutes
- Lower cost!
- Use at your own pace
- Bookmarked, searchable PDF
- Import file of client’s extracted data
What is the Difference between Populate and Populate LITE?
The major difference between Populate and Populate LITE is how the accuracy of the output is validated. Whereas Populate is reviewed by US-based GruntWorx human validation specialists, Populate LITE is validated by the customer in a user-friendly application specifically designed by GruntWorx. With its web-based UI, users are able to quickly and accurately review data at their own pace.

How much does Populate LITE cost?
Drake Software customers will have exclusive access to Populate LITE for a limited time at the introductory price of $0.10/page.
