Anyone have those handy? My software is at home and I am at the office. Can't find it online at the ATX (non)Support site. If anyone can post them I would really appreciate it. I am sending the requirements for my new computers to my Techie.

Thanks. Silly me, I went to the ATX (non)support site for system requirements. I should have known that potential marks (I mean customers) will get better information than is on the (non) support site.

Thanks again. I appreciate it.

Here is the most current on the KB, which probably did not change for this year.

ID: 29552

Tax Year: 2009

Product: TaxPrep ATX

System requirements for 2009 software

To run ATX software on your computer, it must meet the Minimum System Requirements listed below. To make the most of your ATX software, your computer must meet the System Requirements for Optimal Performance listed below.

Recommended System Requirements

For professional results, we recommend the following for most 2009 ATX products:

Microsoft Windows XP (SP2 or higher, 32-bit or 64-bit*) or Windows Vista (SP2 or higher, 32-bit or 64-bit*)

2.0 GigaHertz (GHz) processor or higher

2 gigabyte (GB) or more of RAM

32-speed or higher CD-ROM Drive

Super VGA 1024 x 768, High Color/16 Bit display or better

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher

A high-speed Internet connection (DSL, cable modem, or T1/T3)

An e-mail account that supports file attachments

A file backup system (backup tape, removable hard drive, CD-R, DVD-R, or similar)

A laser printer

*The Practical Tax Expert CD, included with the Total Tax Office and Total Tax & Accounting Office packages, requires a 32-bit operating system.

Minimum System Requirements

The minimum system requirements for 2009 ATX products are:

Windows XP (SP2 or higher)

800 megahertz (MHz) processor or higher

512 megabytes (MB) or more of RAM

8-speed or higher CD-ROM Drive

Super VGA 800 x 600, High Color/16 Bit display

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (SP1 or higher)

A laser printer is required for printing W-2 and 1099 forms

Internet access is required for downloading online product updates, including Client Write-up, Trial Balance, Payroll, Scan&Fill and Document Manager.

Notes:

The hard disk space required for software installation will vary, depending on which options are chosen at the initial install.

Ink jet printers can be used for most programs, but they may print slowly.

ATX Scan&Fill™ will work with most TWAIN-compatible scanners but for optimal efficiency we recommend a scanner with an automatic document feeder.

Tax Year 2008 programs require a 32-bit operating system.

The following products are compatible with

Windows 7:

ATX Desktop Tax Software

IntelliForms

ATX Fixed Asset Manager

ATX Scan&Fill

ATX Document Manager

TaxScripts

Client Write-Up Suite*

* Version 9.5 or later. Users of version 9.0 who need a Windows-7-compatible version can call Customer Support to receive an updated CD.

The following products have unique system requirements:

Practical Tax Expert CD - Requires a 32-bit operating system.

TaxScripts - Compatible with 64-bit Vista, but not 32-bit Vista at this time.

Requirements for Network Installations

A minimum of 850 MB of storage space

100BaseT network adapter card on each computer

100BaseT network connections between all computers and the network hub, router, or switch

Note: 10BaseT connections are not recommended, as slow file-transfer rates can result in database errors.

Printer Recommendations

ATX recommends that you use a laser printer with a minimum of 4 MB of RAM. Ink-jet and bubble-jet printers also work with all ATX programs. Copy A of Forms 1099 and W-2 must be printed on a laser printer, per IRS specifications.
