Here is what Drake says about their CA E-file

[BulldogTom]

Tom,

It’s good to hear from you. I will be happy to see you in Reno again later in the year. I hate to hear you are having trouble with CCH. We have actually processed over 1.2 million returns thus far and CA was ready by Jan. 2. We are e-filing your S-Corps as well. I will have to say, we have been running real smooth. I hate you’re not with us this year, I’m sure we can work something out next season. Let me know if you have any further questions. I look forward to seeing you in Reno.

Regards,

Dawn Spivey

Yeah, that is the sort of personal responses that made us love ATX, back when it was still a family operation. I wish I could like the way the program works more.

Dawn is a southern girl with an accent as thick as can be. She is from North Carolina. Really nice person. Kinda new to software sales. We met at Super Seminar in Reno last year. I was so close to switching, but I believed all the CCH bull$h1p about nothing changing. Oh well.

I had an email answer AND a phone call to my questions -- all within 30 minutes. Granted they are trying to woo me over. I wonder if their customer service would be so sparkling with an influx of thousands of ATX clients going thru the conversion?

I really like ATX software. Hmmm.....wonder if CCH wants to sell it about now? :lol:

I got a trial cd of the 06 filing season of the Drake software. It was not user friendly. It might not be as easy to use as the Max but I know from a colleague that they have great support. I personally did not like the software.
