Enter your client’s tax data into the computer in any order you wish. The data is automatically posted wherever it is needed, and the return is instantaneously updated each time you return to the Main Menu. You may save, reload and change your client data as often as you wish, and print all or any part of the return at any time. We are a Midwest company, and concentrate on providing state programs for MN, WI, IL, IA, ND and NESoftware Product Pricing:
The Softax Federal tax preparation program is priced at $624, and there is no limit on the number of returns you may prepare. You may purchase a single state program for $100, or all of the six states that we support for a total of $200. Toll-free telephone support is included. To give you flexibility, Softax is designed to work with any of three efile transmitters:- ACA [Accounting and Computer Alliance: (330) 678-8899],
- NTS [National Transmission Service: (800) 687-1096], and
- PDP [Professional Data Processing: (800) 359-1040]
PDP charges only $25 for their program and charges $2.50 federal and $.50 state for transmission fees. ACA is a direct filing program and costs $450 federal and $100 state, but has no additional transmission fees. PDP is ideal for the low volume user, and ACA is a money-saver for the high volume user. All three have RAL (refund anticipation loan) capability.
