# November 8, 2017

Our latest release simplifies the filing and payment process, as well as creation of withholding tax reports for individual branch codes.

**Simplifying the Tax Filing Workflow**

Before, whenever you file and pay taxes through JuanTax, you need to undergo three steps namely: Step 1: Filing Type, **Step 2: Payment** and **Step 3: Send DAT File**.

Now, we’re simplifying the tax workflow by reducing the steps into two: **(1) Filing Type** and **(2) Payment.**

**How ‘bout sending of .DAT Files?**

The sending of .DAT files can now be done during **Step 1** of your filing process. 

**A. Manual Filing**

The process would still be the same once you hit **Save** after choosing **Manual Filing**. You’ll be prompted to a modal where you should confirm that you want to file the report, The only difference is that there will be **3 buttons** present namely: **(1) Save**, **(2) Send MAP** and **(3) DOWNLOAD MAP**.

**1\. Save Option**

Once you click **Save**, it will go to the normal manual filing process, where it will be marked as **Filed**, and you would be able to view and print the tax form and submit a printed copy to your RDO. 

**2\. Send MAP**

Clicking this button will allow you to send your file through email. Enter the email address of the person that you also want to have a copy of the confirmation before you click **Send**.
