Intuit ProSeries review

ProSeries is Intuit's desktop tax program for small and midsize firms, and its strength is choice. A pay-per-return license starts at $539 a year with returns bought as filed, ProSeries Basic 1040 sells bundles of 20, 50 or unlimited individual returns from $729 a year, and ProSeries Professional adds business and specialty returns from $2,605 a year for unlimited 1040s. Intuit Sign digital signatures and knowledge-based authentication are included for every tax client, which saves a separate e-signature subscription. Review and planning tools are useful: the Missing Client Information utility flags gaps during prep, Client Analyzer finds groups of clients affected by tax changes, K-1 data import moves business return data into owner 1040s, and batch tools run repeat tasks across files. The Intuit Link portal and Client Checklist help collect documents. The trade-offs are price at the Professional level and add-ons for hosting and bulk 1099 and W-2 filing.
