ACRIS ASAP's a breeze for taxpayers.

Just 90 days after its official launch, TitleVest Agency, Inc.'s free web-based solution, ACRIS ASAP, is becoming an indispensable tool for real estate professionals who are required to electronically prepare New York City and State real property transfer tax information forms, according to a user survey.

Compared with the New York City Department of Finance automated city register information system, known as ACRIS, over 95% of surveyed users responded that TitleVest's ACRIS ASAP accomplished the DOF "E-Tax" forms preparation work much faster and was easier to use than ACRIS.

The overwhelming majority of respondents who had previously used ACRIS said that going forward they would switch to ACRIS ASAP for their E-Tax preparation needs.

TitleVest, a New York-based provider of title insurance and related services, e-mailed the survey to 180 attorneys and support staff who had used ACRIS ASAP at least once. In additional comments, virtually every respondent said that TitleVest's ACRIS ASAP was a valuable solution to the rigorous and painstaking method of using the City's ACRIS website to prepare the required forms.

92% found ACRIS ASAP's one-page form simple and easy to use;
