jon Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Does anyone know of a forum/community specifically for CCH Prosystem fx users? There is a "coming soon" page at http://tax.cchgroup.com/cchmsgboard/cchmsgboard.htm that would seem to come close if it materializes, but I'm wondering if something independent already exists.

Evan S. Golar Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Does anyone know of a forum/community specifically for CCH Prosystem fx users? There is a "coming soon" page at http://tax.cchgroup.com/cchmsgboard/cchmsgboard.htm that would seem to come close if it materializes, but I'm wondering if something independent already exists. I didn't know CCH had a board. But it doesn't surprise me that it's only restricted to its customers. So if I don't use their tax program - there's no way I can interact like I can on this board.

kcjenkins Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 They used to have a CCH board, but they shut it down for 'remodeling' or some such thing, and it has not gotten back up yet. Perhaps in Dec? Or Feb? Or maybe early April? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Jon, I used ProSystem fx for the first time this tax season. Keep me posted if you discover a board. And, if you find yourself with free time on your hands and love to teach, I'm always in need of pearls of wisdom, tips, tricks, and work-arounds....

michaelmars Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 We use it here too and one of my guys is a FX expert if anyone needs help I'll gladly pass on the program issues for response. 99% of the time the old imput method works best and avoids most of the glitches btw.

jon Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Thanks KC, Lion, Michael. I'll be sure to update here if I find anything else. It's a puzzlement to me that ProFX users don't have more of an established online community somewhere. It looks like someone once tried creating a couple yahoo groups ( http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/prosystemfx/ and http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pfxengagement/ ) but there's no content there. CCH has been running national user conference events for a couple years now, although I haven't been able to attend one. I wonder if anything has sprung up connected to that? It wouldn't take much to create a space for such a thing, but there's no point if nobody is participating. Is it a chicken-and-egg scenario?

Lion EA Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 What's the "old" input method? Worksheet? Interview? I've been using Interview and am getting comfortable with it. I have a very, very part-time assistant who I pushed to worksheet, thinking it might be better for the data entry she does for me. I purchased last minute before tax season, so had no chance for any training or substantial practice. I intend to get some serious training this fall. Hope my assistant is available for some, also. Thank goodness the support at CCH has been absolutely amazing. Today I tried Chat to find out where to enter something on a CT-1120; she directed me to the right form, buried a couple of menus deep, in minutes. And, Michael, thank you for offering up your local expert; I'll keep you in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 As an experiment, I've created a new set of forums at http://ProFX.YouNeed.us/ :-) Let's see if we can get some participation there, please tell your friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
