Chose CCH Axcess
CCH offered a best-in-class product at a price point that was "reasonable", given the high volume of users in our organization and the immense number of tax returns we complete annually. We also already employ many other tools from the WoltersKluwer family of applications, …

Chose CCH Axcess
CCH Axcess is simply more robust. They provide an all in one solution and do the best job at integrating all needed modules.

This application is best suited for enterprise use cases. It interfaces with almost every other major platform at the enterprise level and is scalable to the nth degree. But that comes at a high price tag, given that it integrates with everything and is used relatively ubiquitously. Any recommendations that I would give on the platform would be based on enterprise applicability.

Smaller firms and new businesses with lower up-front budget/cash flow availability. In particular with less complex returns. This is a great starter software. The desktop version is the most affordable, it can be networked. I am not familiar with their online software, but because I use a laptop, I am still able to work from anywhere. If you have more complex tax clients, then a step-up in software will likely make more sense, an UltraTax CS might be more your style. While Drake has a lot of good tools, more expensive and complex programs like UltraTax are better suited with better integrations and sometimes higher-level knowledge at your fingertips.

CCH Axcess was very comparable to Thomson Reuters. They are both large companies in their fields and have similar resources. We ultimately went with Thomson Reuters because we bundled with their other softwares for a better price and it makes sense to be with one company to deal with one customer support line.

Proconnect is pretty comparable to Drake Tax. I opt to use Drake tax because it is more affordable, both online and desktop, has better customer support, and it is not another Intuit product. Turbo Tax is okay for individuals or for someone doing just a few smaller returns. For complexity or larger practices, I think this tool makes no sense. It is very much part of the Intuit ecosystem and not ideal for any major complexity or larger volume of client tax returns.
