There are some still using TRX. There are complaints on the BBB board as late as 4/14/14. I can't see why someone does not shut them down..The software was not approved by California or 2012 or 2013, yet some of the complaints are from Ca preparers..

"And on top of everything else, they sent a nice Easter card " AND a thank you video for using Drake! My only complaint with Drake this year is I used HALF the paper and toner than with ATX. Drake actually printed what I wanted.

I have emailed Drake twice this season and received the usual "will respond in x amount of hours or days" (can't remember which). Barely had time to delete the message when the answer arrived. Totally impressed with the software AND support.

He posted on Fairmark forum on the 17th of March.

Never had a problem.

>>but the darn brokerage companies had until Feb 18th to get out the 1099s.<< A couple of my clients, including my self, received this from Fidelity today: *Fidelity has received a mailing deadline extension from the IRS. Mailing some original forms by this date will mitigate sending a similar number of corrected forms. We apologize for any inconvenience that you might experience. The NEW estimated time is Feb 28. (Hopefully they mean 2014.)

>>No wonder everyone on the Drake forum is so happy and helpful!<< I have a very small practice and moving towards retirement. Every year I attend a seminar where Drake has a booth and they have worked to convert me. I should have listened sooner. Tax software is a tool for me to use to aid in my profession. When a tool is broken, you throw it away and buy a new one. I am over joyed "it broke."

Even though I am now with Drake, (cost and concerns), I go on this board multiple times a day, looking for insight and problem solving not haggling and "sniping."

I am shouting...THANK YOU GAIL!!!!

No.

Same with my family.

Thanks

Oregon had the same problem, "The Oregon Health Authority, which oversees the plan, said last week it would change its asset-recovery policy. Starting Oct. 1, anyone applying for coverage under the plan won't be subject to asset recovery rules meant for those receiving long-term care, the agency said. The agency also plans to remove the alarming fine print in Cover Oregon's application. "We are not going to be implementing the state recovery for people receiving just the Oregon Health Plan," said health authority spokeswoman Patty Wentz. "(Recovery) will remain in effect for long-term care services and connected medical costs."

My client base has been reducing itself by "natural causes" for the last few years. Two or three years ago I went to " pay per return." After "the add ons" my renewal was $100 more than last year AND I was told, via email, no early discount was available on the PRS system. I never have been contacted to renew. I went with Drake.

The conversion program for ATX is available on Drake"s support site.

No, couldn't find it either.

WASHINGTON–The Internal Revenue Service today announced a delay of approximately one to two weeks to the start of the 2014 filing season to allow adequate time to program and test tax processing systems following the 16-day federal government closure.
