Any way to efile consolidated return in ATX?

[1120PC filer]

Has anyone found a work-around that would allow an ATX user to e-file a consolidated Form 1120? Our firm only does a couple of consolidated corporate returns and so I hate to have to buy a different software just to accomodate these returns.

Any input would be much appreciated.

Ask CCH to give you (as a current customer) a free license to ProSystem fx to file up to X consolidated returns as pay-per-return fees filings.

Thanks for the idea, I'll ask CCH about this. We currently have ATX (use for 90% of our returns) and GoSystems (only use for the 10% of our business that involves consolidated returns we can't do in ATX). But GoSystems is very cumbersome to use and has a huge learning curve. I really wish there were an ATX-like option where a user can just enter directly onto the forms versus doing all of the questionnaires and sub-forms. Perhaps we'll find that ProSystem fx is more user-friendly.
