Kea Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I just started a new return in TaxWise (MainStreet) and told it to use a part year Indiana return. It said I wasn't authorized & that I had to purchase it. I thought this package came with all the states (this is the first state return I've tried to add). Is that just a generic warning before installing any state? Or, is it going to charge me? I decided to cancel and ask here first.

Crank Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I believe you have to download (and run) the state from download section on the "Client Login" tab. You shouldnt have to purchase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry D EA Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Man I hate to see you guys going thru these problems. As if TRX wasn't enough. I am sure glad I went with TaxSlayer as I have had virtually no problems with any States, depreciation, rollovers or nothing. Not trying to make anyone feel bad or push TaxSlayer. Just saying.

Crank Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yeah there are some quirks and extra steps involved with TaxWise but at least it does the calculations correcty. I was pleasently surprised to find that if you do the 1120S it will prompt you to pull the K-1s into a 1040 with the matching SS. Nice feature. But I do think I have to do about 25% more clicks per return with TaxWise than I did with ATX or TaxWorks. Updates can be confusing. Bank info willl have top be entered up to four times on a return in some cases. That's just not necessary. And, the thing that really bothers me is when you tab to or through a new cell it will pull info from the dropdown list and overwrite the good info you had there. You really have to be carefull. I cant tell you how many times I have accidently changed a value. The autofill feature is a bit to over zealous for me and requires backspacing over what it selected. And this is a CCH product too.

CathysTaxes Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I purchased Taxwise through Ultimate Tax Solutions and I had no problem getting states. Their support website has you sign in and request the states that you want. You are then given access to download them and then the updates are automatic.

Kea Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Thanks. I'll try these suggestions tomorrow. I didn't think it should cost anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
