Wayne Brasch Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Interesting comments about TRX and their own software on the Tax Book Forum http://www.thetaxbook.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12378 JRS, Is this TRX demo for the year 2008 or 2009 tax returns?

JRS Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'm not sure. The post on The Tax Book seems like it is 2008, but you can't tell from TRX's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 It seems TRX's software might be Tax Works by Red Gear. They are mailing me a demo copy of "their software." Hopefully, it will be software that they developed rather than another "resell" product. With all the software confusion that is going around by TRX and the price increases from CCH and the others AND the new proposed security requirements from the IRS, I am going to be rethinking how much longer I will practice.

It is another resale situation. Once they were limited to selling 500 copies of ATX, it appears that they are going to offer another product for resale.

taxtrio Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Isn't Tax Works now owned by H & R Block? Taxtrio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 According to LION on another board, HRB bought out Red Gear and their products, which is Tax Works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberts Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 According to LION on another board, HRB bought out Red Gear and their products, which is Tax Works. Yes, I think they purchased them in 2007. If you do a search online for both names it comes up. I didn't realize the connection. But then again a lot of people don't have a big problem using Intuit owned tax software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have installed it, but not yet tried it, but it seems to be worksheet oriented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I finally got around to trying the demo TRX sent me. I guess ATX has spoiled me. I like forms based tax software. Worksheets just don't cut it with me. I played for a few hours and ended up uninstalling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAMalody Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I was told by a TRX (Michael) guy that their software could be either worksheet or forms oriented. Your choice. He had seen it demoed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I tried everything I could, but could not get it to switch to forms. I still was uncomfortable with the format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
