ATX 1040 Office Tax Software

[jd2546]

Is there anyone who subscribed to ATX 1040 Office software during the last year, and if so, did you convert from another program ( i.e. Proseries) and how did the conversion of files go? Trying to decide if its a good idea to convert from Proseries as the price continues to sky rocket. Thanks for any input and your time

I'd suggest that you at least get the free demo, which is, at this time, a full copy of the 08 program, and try entering a few of your returns in it. If you like it after you have entered 10 returns, of varying types, then go for it. All 'conversions' from any program are not going to be perfect on the more complex situations. Depreciation will always need to be double checked the first year, especially if there was anything tricky, like a part year situation, and carryovers need to be double-checked. But if you get the program now, you have time to convert the 08 returns, and check them, and then you would both learn to use the program better and also be ready for the 09 tax season.
