Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE vs. Wolters Kluwer Corporate Taxprep

We use [Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE] to prepare federal and state income tax returns which allows us to complete the work assigned very quickly and allow senior members of the team to review the work before submitting in a very fluid state. While not in the tax or busy season, the program is not as used as much.

Polyvalent and efficient solution suite for tax reporting

• ONESOURCE is excellent for providing a holistic suite of products that are specifically geared toward tax compliance.
• ONESOURCE also does an excellent job of maintaining a fresh look and appearance to their products, but doesn't change the base functionality just to sell more or improve the look of the product.
• ONESOURCE also does an excellent job of maintaining current tax information. In an ever changing tax world, this is the most important thing for a piece of tax software to provide.

Incentivized

• Integration of corporate groups into one entity filing
• Link with Tax Forms and TaxPrep for Trust and/or Individuals to provide relevant data
• Multi-users plateform enabling time keeping, documentation of tax positions, etc.
• Express data entry with a comparison to prior Year

• ONESOURCE absolutely needs to restore their TIN Matching feature. Not having a TIN Matching feature is huge and needs to be addressed immediately.
• The software interface itself is outdated and clunky. It is way behind in terms of user-friendliness and convenience. Additionally, it is only compatible with Internet Explorer. ONESOURCE is literally the only reason I would ever access Internet Explorer which is notably slower and more prone to freezing than Google Chrome or Safari. A good portion of our business uses Macs which means they are SOL on accessing ONESOURCE.
• The ability to look at multiple tax years for a single recipient would be huge. Currently, if a recipient asks us to pull three years of data, this means three different searches within each year's ONESOURCE instance. It's tedious and could be improved.

Incentivized

• A step-by-step process when starting a new business for reporting and permanent data collection? Rather than filling different forms to identify.
• An automatic connection to tax assessment and warning of issuance of such assessmeent by taxing authorities (when client have given autorization)
• Link to a payment platform for taxes due
• Automatic e-mail reminder to client for tax installments due, once client adresse field has been documented

To reiterate - a very useful tool for private company information, otherwise not forthcoming on the public domain. It is very crucial in Company analyses for various lenses, slices and dices of Company information. Also useful in industry analysis and in list building. Overall a great research and analytics tool.

Very satisfied with the current features.

The ONESOURCE support has improved significantly over the years. Support sends out emails with the answer provided which helps in the future when the same issue occurs. This reduces the amount of calls to ONESOURCE Support as you can better document the calls and rely on previous answers if the same issue occurs. ONESOURCE support has also implemented a callback feature that reduces the amount of time spent on hold.

As I said it is an easy-to-use platform and saved us time and money. They have great customer service and have helped our company get new hires checked and in-service faster than our old company. By combining the two services in one place it has made it easier for the new hire and the HR staff to track results. I am a fan!
