I would be interested to see how the "millions" of returns that ATX has processed so far this year compares to last year at this time using 2011 software? Can you say Damage Control??

>>the "millions" of returns that ATX has processed<<

Interesting number--it must mean at least two million. The ATX website claims 35,000 customers, so that's like an average of 10 returns per day so far. On the other hand, surveys show ATX only has 5% of the professional market. Not even counting the fact that most ATX users are sole practitioners with hardly any firms of more than 5 preparers, but let's presume that all comply with mandatory e-file. There's only about 100 million e-file returns total from everybody everywhere, so it seems to me ATX is claiming to have already successfully made it half way through the tax season!

I wonder if the "millions" of returns includes those filed using TaxWise and ProFx? In other words, are they saying ATX has filed millions of returns, or CCH has?
