Are people paying full price for 2013 ATX?

[ETax847]

Just received my renewal notice for the ATX 2013 software, and I was wondering if people who experienced problems like myself for the 2012 tax season were receiving some type of discount? I would not feel right paying full price after all of the problems I endured this past tax season and problems I continue to experience in trying to amend returns. Thoughts?

Ask for a discount - you will receive something more than their usual 10%. It probably won't be as much of a discount as you'd think they should agree to, and be forewarned the extra discount is off of their discounted amount, not off of full retail.

I will be paying more for ProSystems fx, but it was time. I will miss the old ATX but not the new, although I do believe that those that are running stand alone systems with the recommended hardware and operating system will have a GREAT product in ATX in 2013 and beyond. In fact, one that I would not squabble over price about. It is already a great price for a great product. Good luck!

If you are considering switching to Drake the $1095 price ends on 5/31.

It depends on whether it is a percentage discount or a flat fee. You should be able to negotiate something; depending on how much trouble you had.

Rfassit, were you able to negotiate any discount for Profx? May I ask what you are paying, and what is included in your package, and a few details of your practice? I'm afraid I'll have to go with one of the high priced companies if ATX doesn't get it together, and I'm at such a juncture in my practice that I may have some pretty lean years if I have to spend more on software.
