I purchased this while at a seminar, 2 weeks went by before someone reached out about onboarding. All the videos and help was based on their previous versions. I cancelled within the 7 day free trial window, but was told the free trial is different from paying and cancellation in the first 7 days. I don’t understand the difference, but I would never recommend this company based on support and onboarding. They told me 800 people signed up and since my last name started with H they were just getting to me. 2 weeks after signing up and 1 week after cancellation of my account. They still had me as active in their stuff. Lots of better companies to get this information from

Pros

It pulls transcripts and is an online program

Cons

No training or support , new version is hard to navigate without help. Customer care is horrible and they don’t care about the client

It was primarily used for our firms US tax practice to assist with federal and state tax resolutions, and overall it was effective.

Pros

I believe the best feature about this software is the intuitive UI design that will allow users of all levels of familiarity with computers to utilize software effectively.

Cons

There can be some issues in finding the files you might need, such as state POAs. Also, there is a learning curve to using the software so you may need to regularly call support if you have questions due to a lack of detailed guides, videos, and other support tools.

We used it a couple of times to get transcripts and worked as described.

Pros

easy to use way to get transcript from the IRS, we like that it is unlimited and can get as many as possibly need.

Cons

The price is a little steep, since we don't use it that often and might have to discontinue paying for it.

I found that the client questionnaire does not properly import information. Sometimes the tax liability is double. Tech Support is also their salesman. I have been told I submitted my support tickets wrong. I have been told, I'm busy I can't do anything. I have been told I am abusive to employees there. I would like to see any telephone or email transcript where I am abusive. The lead manager has replied, that yes, some of my complaints are bugs in the software.

Pros

I have had compliments for RO and Appeals Officers comment how well the documents wer prepared.

Cons

TECH Support. They don't have any. Favorite slogan, "you're the only one having the problem", Clear your Cache, Reboot your computer. I am sorry I don't have to with other software, why should i with you.

Reasons for choosing PitBullTax

I choose Pitbull because I liked the interface, however once I started working with it, there are bugs from day one.

Overall an excellent product that saves us hours of time.

Pros

I like the fact that it populates all the forms needed for the client. A very good step by step process. Our staff cuts down filling out individual forms. Very good step by step process. Literally saves hours of time.

Cons

Sometimes a bit clunky switching between forms.

It is an imperfect solution that showed us what software could do. PitBull fails to deliver, but it appears others in this space are doing great things.

Pros

It can do a lot of things (just poorly). The software tries to be a one-stop show, but it does not deliver any of its promises.

Cons

Poor design. Poorly coded. Most of the forms generated contain math errors (come on, a computer is just a really big calculator!) or do not follow the requirements of the IRM (supplements when the Form instructions specifically state you cannot use them, categorizing income or simply leaving it out, etc.,). The time tracker routinely fails to save time entries, so we have had to stop using it.

Has improved efficiency and shortened the time required to process tax resolution cases. It has a good client management program built in to software and it is could based to keep all my data safe.

Pros

The workflows are nice and easy. On boarding a new client or prospect is a breeze. There is a customer questionnaire can be emailed to your clients to fill out and return. This a good tool if clients fill it out. It is comprehensive and you could walk your client through the questionnaire. The built in email program is useful for sending engagement letters, disclosure forms and other files such as Power of Attorney simply by clicking the box. I like the client portal for sending and receiving documents. Most clients can master the portal with a bit of guidance but it is intuitive enough for most to understand. Pitbull has a fee calculator that I used when first in this field. It uses variables in determining what range your fees should be quoted. It is a bit subjective and pricing is a bit of an art so I use it when I get a unique case and am not sure how to price my services. Once you master the program it is quite powerful for the tasks you need to accomplish.

Cons

A bit of a learning curve if you try to teach self. In the learning days I had to call support if I needed a question about how to use the program or why I couldn't get some aspect of the program to work properly. I knew it was my lack of understanding. The only real learning tool available was a recorded webinar used in demonstrations at live events and is as much a sales video as a teaching video. Further training to master program is expensive. To attend a "master the program" event in Florida requires a substantial fee to attend plus travel costs and time. A tech company should have the skill set to create training videos without charging users large fees. If I need training I review the competitors training videos to sharpen my skills in this field and at no additional charge. Not everything is intuitive in Pitbull. Logic is not always useful in learning Pitbull. I think it is better to try and think like the designers and programmers to become quickly knowledgeable in using this program. Base pricing is competitive but Pitbull is a big fan of add on expenses that can drive the costs upward quickly. The rational I've heard their presenters/sales people say is it shouldn't mater because it will increase your income potential as it improves efficiency. I would be more open to this argument if they made it more user friendly more efficient and easy to master the program with out the extra cost or so in learning expenses.
