Pro Series Users - Please Respond

[Yardley CPA]

Hi, All...I am a long time customer of ATX.  This year, I'm taking a look at Pro Series.  I've completed my own return on the program and find it offers similar navigation and feature -- generally speaking -- as ATX.  It has a more refined feel and seems to be user friendly.  Pricing for 1040 Complete seems a bit high but it does offer a fair amount of options, including portal access.

I would appreciate feedback from those currently using the program.  What do you like, what do you not like as much?  Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I used ATX until 2012, after which I switched to ProSeries.  I like the number of forms available with ATX, especially the payroll module (which I still buy separately but without all the state functionality that I used to have.)  ProSeries does a great job on multiple states - better than I remember ATX being.  Somethings are not as intuitive as I would like.  For example, I do a couple of FBAR forms and I find it hard to remember each year how to print them and how to efile them.   On the whole, I have been satisfied but I would probably not have left ATX if I were not running in a multi-user server environment.
