I bought the Drake Software for year 2013. I used 4 different software in the last 4 years (TaxAct, Taxworks, Taxwise and TaxExact). Hope to stick with Drake for a while since I'm getting tired of learning new quirk stuff with of every software. I paid $1095 plus tax. I downloaded the 2012 version to play with.

I got the same letter. It does not state about the price of the product. If Drake provides some discount, I'm seriously thinking of taking the plunge.

Mike - I sent you my information through PM. Please add me to your list

Thanks, Crank I tried to efile few 1120s and there is no option to choose in the IL-1120s form for efiling. Contact the support few times and they don't have clue. I can efild Federal but not Illinois.

I'm in Illinois and I do few business returns. I'm able to efile Federal and unable to efile Illinois .Anybody run into this situation?. Am I doing something wrong?. For some returns, the learning curve is little steep for Taxwise. Hope everyone is having a successful tax season

Please let me know how to lock a completed return so that I won't accidently edit the return in Taxwise. Taxworks had a nice feature to lock, I'm unable to find the same feature in Taxwise.

Thank you. I can convert excell to PDF as well.

I have a client who has more than 500+ stock transaction. I'm searching for some document to know how to import excell sheet into Taxwise. Please let me know how to import excell in Taxwise if you have done it?

I bought the software. Finally, I have a working software. I can sleep better. Now I have to fight with Doug to get the money I paid. Much relieved. Mike D - thank you

Mike D- Thanks. I left a voicemail and waiting for a phone call . Does this software comes with business module along with efile feature?

I'm unable to get through their phone. Do you have any extension I can dial-in . I tried few times, no luck. Mike D- Thanks for providing the details.

Cathy, Does the Intuit offer include business return or just 1040 ?

Taxed, from whom did you buy the Taxwise and how much did it cost?.

Even expensive software like ATX, Taxworks are exactly in the same status of cheap TaxExact. Exception being Drake.

Do we know when the state forms will be available?

Taxed, what software did you buy?. I'm looking for a back-up too . TaxAct won't work out since I need business module

Taxed, In my personal return, I could see the Proforma brought the Schedule C, 4562 and 2441 will all the correct details; however, Schedule A is missing.

I did a simple return which was proforma. Intially in 1040, the Taxpayer name was blank and the spouse name was there. I switched between 1040 and 1040A, and now 1040 has all the details. Correct calculation as well. I will do the Schedule A tomorrow and see how it works. I'm waiting for Doug's email regarding the state and business module

Nellie, Did the version 12 fix the issue you were experiencing?

Taxed, I just updated the TaxExact and it is showing version 12. Did you try to update with the new version?. I will be away from my computer a while and curious now what all the issues got fixed. Keep us all informed.

You may login at Trxmembers.com to watch the video ( video #3). Instructor showed how to do Schedule C,D,E. Taxexact organizer is not professional looking. I do few business return also. So I don't know how this is going to work out. Fingers crossed

Taxed, After using TaxAct, Taxwork and reviewing Taxwise, I really like Taxexact; that's why I'm patiently waiting . I watched the video demo and like the functionality. https://trxmembers.com/training-videos/#vid3 I hope state forms would show up tomorrow morning. Thanks,

Taxed,I emailed Doug and he responded that update 11 is coming out late tonight and update 12 is in QA process. So, I'm hoping all the major issues will be fixed. I'm in the same boat as you. Everyone I know of is having software issue. My first appointment is on this saturday. Hopefully I can print out a return without a demo watermark.

Good Luck Linda. Have a very successful tax season.

Taxed, Hang in there. New update will be coming tonight. I hope that the new update will fix most of the problem
