I have contrary H&R information. An H&R owned office manager said they use ATX exclusively for business returns.

Hi there: I too am on the ATX Advisory Council, due to mentioning prior ProSeries and QuickBooks Council experience when signing up for ATX this year. My computer tax and accounting program use began in 1963 and 1968. Heavy Quicken use, and near full time QuickBooks use, began when they became available. I am here now due to Ken. ATX wants an Advisory Council to increase user satisfaction (and revenue). I spent lots of time thinking about how to do this for Intuit (http://www.blocktax.com/Intuit_change.htm). My answer was to combine a forum like this (where we argue about what we want), with a poll (where we can see how many want each item). This often shows that what is very important to some is of no importance to many others. The poll should cover all topics, organized in related areas. It also can link to applicable message board sections. The former Intuit CEO had the current CEO contact me, before the new hire reported to work. Intuit then created bad versions of my sites for QuickBooks and TurboTax. One thing sadly missing, which Intuit's founder initially wanted, was a way to contact contributors of ideas that took years to implement. I will now gladly help the ATX Community add poll software, if others wish. Meanwhile, please keep a note sheet or Word file handy for suggestions, as you work. Many here, like Ken, know far more than I about what we need to make ATX better.

This is a non-profit answer. Backup space can be as little as $27 a month for 100g, with a complete Citrix terminal server account. Citrix is 3 - 4 times as fast as Windows Terminal Server, with 73% less bandwidth. That is why Microsoft now rents CTS time. You can run ATX, Office, and all your other apps on it, with any computer (Windows, Linux, MAC), from any location. Never worry about backups, virus, malware, disk optimizing, hurricanes, floods, installs and much more. Add one or many new fully-configured users overnight.
