What software do you recommend for tax preparers?

[kuldeep]

I’m looking for professional tax-preparation software suitable for someone who handles multiple clients (individuals and small businesses). What are the best options out there right now, what features should I prioritise (e.g., e-file support, multi-state, business returns, workflow tools), and which ones offer good value for the cost?

My top picks for tax preparers are UltraTax CS, Drake Tax, and TaxAct Professional, as they are all excellent candidates and offer e-filing, multiple states, and business returns at a reasonable cost to the professional.

Drake Tax, Lacerte (Intuit), and UltraTax CS (Thomson Reuters) are some of the top professional tax software programs. The best option, which ranges from desktop to cloud-based solutions, depends on your practice's size, return complexity, and financial constraints.

For tax preparers, I recommend software like Intuit ProConnect, Drake Tax, or TaxSlayer Pro. These platforms offer robust features for tax filing, client management, and reporting. Thomson Reuters UltraTax is also a top choice for larger firms.
