Using Juno Effectively

Tips and Tricks on how to use Juno effectively

Updated over 2 months ago

For all documents, it’s best to keep each individual tax document separated from one another. Always use common sense when uploading documents: treat Juno like a second-year preparer. It will handle all the basic information well, but confusing data, duplicate uploads, large and complex datasets, or schedules lacking clear explanation can all cause accuracy issues.


Schedules

Best Practice

  • Keep all information for one schedule in a single document.

  • Do not duplicate line items within the document.

  • Clearly describe each dollar amount and, ideally, pre-categorize the type of income or expense.

  • Include descriptive information such as business name, address, or rental information.

  • Avoid more than 100 line items per document.

  • Avoid PDFs longer than 10 pages.

Hard Limitation

  • CSV/Excel schedules: limited to 1000 lines, up to column ZZ.

  • PDFs: limited to 250 pages.


Basic Source Documents (W-2s, 1099s, 1098s)

Best Practice

  • Upload each document separately when possible.

  • Juno can handle a single PDF with multiple documents, but avoid combining more than 10 source documents in one PDF.

  • Non-standard IRS formats, screenshots, or scans are acceptable—but blurry images can cause errors.

Hard Limitation

  • No strict technical limitation, but documents over 250 pages may create classification challenges.


Brokerage Statements

Best Practice

  • Upload one account per document.

  • Juno can process multiple accounts, but separating them prevents classification issues.

  • For large accounts with thousands of transactions, consider pruning transaction pages and retaining only summary sub-totals.

Important to Note

  • Some brokerage statements are poorly structured. Juno performs best with summary pages and clear sub-totals.

  • If only raw transaction lists are provided, Juno may struggle.

  • Juno does not extract peripheral information like fees, but these are flagged in the Tax Preparation Report.

Hard Limitation

  • More than 250 pages per account will be clipped to the first 250 pages during extraction.


K-1 Documents

Best Practice

  • Upload one K-1 per document.

  • Juno can handle multiple K-1s in one PDF, but classification issues may occur.

  • Always review K-1 data carefully, especially when supplemental or state information is included.

Important to Note

  • Juno’s K-1 accuracy falls below 99% when state information is included.

  • Many values may be flagged for review in such cases.

  • Treat K-1s with state and statement data carefully during review.

Hard Limitation

  • More than 250 pages per K-1 will be clipped to the first 250 pages during extraction.
