Localtax I am not sure if you are affiliated with OltPro or Onedesk but you can see the comments on this board from actual users of this software and they were not encouraging. I believe one user found a serious error in Sch C and another in the trust returns. I believe it was brought to the attention of the vendor but no corrections were done. I have nothing against OltPro or Onedesk but i would say to new users you get what you pay for! I would strongly recommend any new user to review the comments of those who have actually used this software for 2012 returns before they buy it for 2013.

Just in time to get the requirements reinstated to have a huge rush for CPE in 2013. I am doing mine anyway, just in case. I am going to hire Justin Case to work for me.

#3 seems very valid, when you just think about how their other products, like Quickbooks, routinely offer your clients 'their option' to cut you out.

You slightly misread, or I did not make it clear, that the point you did accept, is the point that bothers me. Sure, once we efile a return it is on the software company servers and the IRS and state servers. But it's also on mine, and if I need for some reason to look at a return I did 8 years ago, it's there AND SO IS THE PROGRAM THAT CREATED IT. But if I use a 'cloud' program, and then I change companies, how much access will I have to the files? Yes, I can store a pdf copy, but I can't, as I understand it, manipulate a file except through their program. If so, and I want to amend a return I filed through a company I no longer use, do I have to recreate it in the new software? Or if a client wants to know, "If back In 19__, I had overlooked _______ what would that have changed on my return?" can I go back and 'play with the numbers'?
