tax package that will do Pay per return

[GeorgeM]

I am down to only a few returns now and I was wondering if there is any package out there that will do pay per return.

I can do some of them through free file and then the state on their website. But I have a couple that would be multistate and it would be easier to do on a tax package as a paper return.

Thank you very much for any advice.

If anyone knows of any such package you can email me at [email protected].

Drake has a pay per return option. Not sure if ATX does.

CCH has pay-per-return and pay-per-efile on most if not all of their software.  I use ProSystem fx pay-per-return.

Reading the Fall 2017 edition of TaxPro Journal which reviews software:  every one they reviewed has pay-per-return pricing, all 11 of them, including ATX.

There is usually an initial fee which will include X number of returns (for Drake, that number is 15 returns of any type).  After that limit, you get charged an additional $Y per return filed.  They do it that way because they still need to set up their servers to deal with your ERO submissions.  But yeah, they all have the option.  Lots of offices use lower-priced software for most of their returns, and then use PPR high-end products for the really complex returns that come in.

If you are down to just a few returns, your lowest cost option might be Tax Act.

Taxwise, also CCH, has a PPR program, too.
