ATX 2013 Payroll Compliance

[Lee B]

I have used ATX for Forms W - 2, 940 , 941 & 1099 for years.

I have seen some posts on the ATX Board with respect to users having problems

with Installation, opening the program etc.

I would like some feedback, before I decide to use ATX again or switch.

Thanks,

Are you using ATX for your tax software for 2013? The payroll program is essentially the same as the past two years, unlike the tax program which is entirely different.

I'm on the fence about using ATX for taxes for 2013. I'm waiting to see what other users experience.

I have a backup plan for both payroll compliance and tax prep.

Read the pinned threads and all the posts I have made about 2013. Also check your messages.

If you do happen to not purchase the ATX tax program, please keep in mind that you can still purchase the payroll compliance reporting program separately for $295, at least that was the price last time I checked. It works well and is one of the easiest to use that I've tried, and it doesn't require the user to obtain a TCC or set up a user account that are required to use the IRS FIRE system.

I have to use the FIRE system. It is a hassle. You have to enter a TCC, a PIN and a password and all kinds of information which you absolutely must keep written down somewhere and stored in your computer, since you won't remember it all the next year.
