# April

> Power embedded tax filing with Layer-maintained, tax-ready financials.

If your platform offers embedded tax filing through [April](https://www.getapril.com/), Layer can supply the financial data that filing depends on. Layer keeps each customer's books categorized and current throughout the year, so their income, expenses, and deductions are ready at filing time rather than reconstructed by hand.

## How it works

Throughout the year, Layer ingests activity from your [banking](/integrations/banking/plaid), [payments](/integrations/payments/stripe), and [payroll](/integrations/payroll/check) integrations and keeps the books up to date.

At filing time, Layer passes each customer's business financials to April, pre-filling the business income and expense portions of their return, including Schedule C data for sole proprietors. Your customers review and file through April's embedded experience without leaving your platform.

This integration is enabled per platform. Reach out to your Layer contact to turn it on.
