What is Credit Repair Cloud?
Credit Repair Cloud overhauled its navigation, added compliance-first onboarding for SSN and LPOA, and launched identity alert emails
Credit Repair Cloud shipped a navigation redesign (persistent side menu), compliance-driven client onboarding with encrypted SSN collection and digital LPOA signing, and automatic identity alert emails for Credit Hero Score members. The product is adding compliance and client communication features that reduce the manual back-and-forth between credit repair businesses and their clients, while BuildCredit Rent (July) expanded the platform into credit-builder products.
What is GOAT.tax?
GOAT.tax adds Form 6765 Section G reporting for large R&D credit filers.
GOAT.tax is filling in what Form 6765 requires. The 10/15 release adds a Qualified Activity Type breakdown (direct research, supervision, support) for studies that meet the Section G thresholds, captures EIN and NAICS codes for the report, and extends bulk SME assignment to wage and expense workspaces. Earlier releases added multi-company support, partner white-labeling, a Controlled Group data model and broader state credit coverage.

◆ Current state
Credit Repair Cloud shipped a navigation redesign (persistent side menu), compliance-driven client onboarding with encrypted SSN collection and digital LPOA signing, and automatic identity alert emails for Credit Hero Score members. The product is adding compliance and client communication features that reduce the manual back-and-forth between credit repair businesses and their clients, while BuildCredit Rent (July) expanded the platform into credit-builder products.
◆ Where it's heading
CRC is building toward a fuller managed-service stack for credit repair businesses: client portal compliance workflows (SSN, LPOA), automated identity monitoring alerts, and marketplace matching with state-level licensing logic all reduce operational overhead on the business side. The rent reporting add-on signals the platform is also expanding its client-side product surface.
◆ Prediction
More automated compliance or document collection workflows are the next natural extension — LPOA and SSN are the first required documents; dispute authorization and bureau response tracking are likely candidates for the same onboarding treatment.
GOAT.tax
5.0FINANCE
GOAT.tax adds Form 6765 Section G reporting for large R&D credit filers.
◆ Current state
GOAT.tax is filling in what Form 6765 requires. The 10/15 release adds a Qualified Activity Type breakdown (direct research, supervision, support) for studies that meet the Section G thresholds, captures EIN and NAICS codes for the report, and extends bulk SME assignment to wage and expense workspaces. Earlier releases added multi-company support, partner white-labeling, a Controlled Group data model and broader state credit coverage.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving upmarket: Section G applies only to filers above $1.5M in QREs and $50M in gross receipts, and multi-company plus Controlled Group work targets complex corporate structures. A steady UI redesign of workspaces runs alongside, aimed at making large studies manageable.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Controlled Group model to surface as user-facing computations, and Section G output to flow into the generated 6765 report within the next few releases.
