ProConnect Tax is Intuit's cloud tax program, and it suits firms that want to prepare returns in a browser without managing installs or hosting. Pricing has two parts: a User Access license at $210 per user, or $2,100 flat for 10 or more users, and returns bought as you go or in bundles. Individual returns cost $93.46 each below 50 and fall to $36.51 at 200 or more, while bundles start at $2,478 a year for 50 individual returns. The product supports more than 5,700 forms, SmartReturn builds simpler 1040s from imported data, and Easy Start onboarding moves prior-year data in. Its tie to the Intuit Accountant Suite and QuickBooks data is the main draw for firms that also do bookkeeping, and Intuit Tax Advisor creates plans from return and ledger data. Unlimited e-signatures are included. The downside is cost at low volume, where per-return fees are steep compared with a Drake or ATX package.
