GeorgeM Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 This is my first year with TRXPRO (Red Gear) and have e-filed about 10 returns, this is by far the best setup I have ever seen. Everythig goes so smoothly, and their e-file center is just great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyan Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I agree! I've never had such smooth e-filing with any program. Actually, I was rather prepared to dislike the whole program from TRX after the TaxWise year, but this one isn't bad at all. I'd rather be able to see my forms as I'm working in them, but this works. At a good price, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tax Prep by Deb Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I'm not with TRX but I do have to say that with ATX this has been my smoothest year so far. I have had no issues e-filing at all. My Acks come back timely and nothing has gotten lost. The real test I feel will be next week when we are able to send the held returns. I expect a melt down from both ATX and IRS. Hopefully this will not be the case, but only time will tell. ATX is due to release the needed updated forms after the 11:00 a.m. drain on Monday. Deb!

The users of TRX PRO did not have to wait to e-file those returns, they can be e-filed and the IRS has them on hold. You ATX'ers are going to have fun trying to complete all the returns with Schedule A. I still don't understand why ATX has done this. It means that you will have to print all the 8879 forms and have the clients sign them before you can e-file them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kea Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 One minor correction. As I understand it, the files are held at TRX's "filing center," not at IRS. But, I haven't sent any so I can't see what's on the E-file screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Personally, I would rather hold those returns myself than to send them on to either TRX/ATX/whatever software or the IRS - at least then I know when they are actually e-filed and when to look for them. But different software companies chose to handle this differently. And by the end of next week, hopefully we will no longer be holding anything anywhere.

This was a choice given by IRS to the software providers, ATX chose not to have us send them until it was O.K. for them to send to IRS. Anyway you look at this, this problem is not with either software provider, it goes back to Congress and their games that were played at the end of the year. Deb! PS I've done my share of complaining in the past with ATX, however I do believe in giving credit were credit is due. ATX has been very good for me this year, with no problems, and because I signed up for their e-mail alerts, they are doing a great job at keeping me informed.
