Overall we are satisfied with this program. The price is a bit high but we get outstanding functionality and a great knowledge base to use with out staff. We will keep using this for many years to come hopefully

Pros

We process a multitude of tax returns for both personal and corporate. We deal with many companies and Taxprep has always been there helping us out. The programs are amazing and they offer amazing support and have a wide array of answers to many questions to help you along the way.

Cons

Sometimes the support team can forget about you and you feel forgotten about. But the most thing I like least is the pricing. Personally I feel the price could be lower as looking around at other software's to buy the prices are definitely lower in other markets. Just something to keep in mind.

It is best interface and using comparing to other product of the same domain.

Pros

It’s professional and pointed on formulars instead of simple data entering

Cons

It is expensive, version updating process is manual, it is slow starting, slow opens files. There is a list of problems and missing features that could be implemented: - Form 21200 makes wrong calculation of amount for QST refund (reported into VD-358) - CARE form took in federal consideration the amount entered in Quebec - it should not, because some times there is no deductible amount to federal side; - When TED federal fails, it should not try to send provincial; - in TP1 should be the possibility to transfer Québec refund into conjoint automatically, now it always manual; - Where is useless diagnostics in a report of depending person. Dependant have same address, but diagnostics is asking if he lives alone and two more related questions; - Then you try to open more then 5 pdf files (after generating pdfs) it always asking to confirm, because it maybe slow down the system. There is should be possibility suppress that confirmation forever. Like check box "Do not ask this question in a future"; - There is shoud be a summary page similar to DT max summary page - that shows essential information on one page; - Then a person have self-employe income (2125) and foreign employe income, program should not calculate RQPP on this foreign income.
