Kingsborough Community College Professor and Co-Founder of PriorTax Brings Academic Rigor to Online Tax Solutions
Dr. Ayalur Krishnan, PhD (Mathematics), long-time professor at Kingsborough Community College and co-founder of PriorTax, is driving a unique marriage of academic insight and practical service in the online tax-preparation world. Under his guidance, PriorTax has emerged as a leader in online, prior-year tax return filing, helping thousands across New York and beyond get caught up with their taxes, while maintaining professional quality and security.
Founded in Manhattan and now operating online nationwide, PriorTax focuses on one of the most challenging segments of the tax market: late or prior-year returns. According to the company’s website, “you can file a late tax return in 10 minutes, tops.” That promise of simplicity, speed and accuracy is central to PriorTax’s mission and Dr. Krishnan’s vision for bringing academic precision into everyday tax services.
Dr. Krishnan has taught mathematics at Kingsborough Community College for 21 years, and his deep understanding of numbers, logic and systems has informed the technology and service approach at PriorTax. His ongoing commitment to education, both inside and outside the classroom shapes the company’s emphasis on clarity, security and support for the consumer. PriorTax highlights its guiding principles as “simplicity, security, accuracy.” From a mathematical framework of problem-solving to a culture of service, Dr. Krishnan brings a rare blend of scholar and business-builder to the tax-prep industry.
Under co-founder Krishnan’s leadership, PriorTax has not only served individuals seeking to catch up on taxes but also created employment opportunities for New York professionals. Hiring hundreds of New Yorkers, the company anchored its operations in midtown Manhattan “around the corner from Columbus Circle”, before recently moving. PriorTax’s workforce reflects the company’s roots in the city and highlights its commitment to nurture and hire local talent and their professional growth.
What differentiates PriorTax is its focus on prior-year filings; many online tax services emphasize current-year returns, but PriorTax makes catching up simple and secure. The company Dr. Krishnan co-founded also provides current year tax filing at www.rapidtax.com and www.easytaxusa.com. On the site, it highlights: “Get it done fast, get it done right.” That means guiding taxpayers through the process of selecting tax year, entering information, reviewing for accuracy, and filing, all backed by live support via phone, chat and email. From current year returns (2024) to prior years going back to 2012, the firm offers access and convenience.
Outside of tax filings and academic lectures, Dr. Krishnan is known as an ardent cat-lover, an ailurophile who spends two hours most days feeding the 20 or so cats on the Kingsborough College campus. That personal detail highlights his human side, his connection to community, and his commitment to care beyond spreadsheets and returns. This blend of professional leadership and personal compassion gives PriorTax a stronger story in the industry.
As tax regulations evolve and the need for prior-year filings grows, PriorTax is well-positioned to scale its offerings. With Dr. Krishnan’s academic background, the company is exploring ways to further integrate analytics and user education into its service. The goal: not only to serve users now, but to equip them for tax-smart decisions in the future.
