ATX Reseller

I just came across a website for Utimate Tax Service (etaxplace.com).

Based on the descriptive terms that they are using it looks like they are reselling

ATX (1040 plus business) for $799.

Why do business with a reseller when you have the opportunity to deal directly with the software provider? Even dealing directly has its limitations so there's no reason to place a firewall between yourself and them. I think the small savings is an example of being penny-wise and pound folish.

Has anyone gotten a demo to look at.? I really doubt that CCH would be selling through a reseller. I know they did one year, through TRX, but they ended that pretty soon, so it's hard to imagine they are doing it again.

I called them and they are selling the full Taxwise package for $799 plus they also have all the

extra modules i.e. Paperless Plus, Client Accounting Suite etc. They claim to have been

selling Taxwise for the last 7 years, plus they have the software available for all years back to 2001.

Taxwise is not ATX.

I recall getting an e-mail from another reseller called Surefire tax and they were $100 less! I guess it is a crap shoot with resellers!

Also please note while both Taxwise and ATX are owned by CCH, they are NOT the same software. I have used both and there is a ton of difference. In my opinion Taxwise has less features than ATX but easier to use, especially part time help who can key in all the data and t it up for you to process. ATX is a bit cumbersome compared to Taxwise for less experienced folks.

As you can tell Taxwise is less expensive than ATX. You get what you pay! This year may be an exception with all the problems ATX is experiencing!
