TaxSlayer Pro is built for offices that file mainly individual returns and earn part of their revenue from bank products. Every package includes unlimited 1040 returns, free unlimited federal and state e-filing, all states and unlimited support in English and Spanish, so the price is the price. Pro Classic is the desktop package at $1,395, Pro Web moves 1040 preparation to the cloud for $1,595 and adds the TaxesToGo mobile app and a client portal, and Pro Premium at $1,695 adds a full corporate business suite covering 1065, 1120, 1120-S, 1041, 990 and more, plus a paperless office and digital signature support. A Pro Web + Corporate package combines cloud 1040s with desktop business returns. The interface and support model are aimed at fast seasonal work. For CPA firms with complex business, multi-entity or planning work, the review and advisory tools are thinner than Intuit or Thomson Reuters products, and business returns cost more.
