Our efficiency has improved significantly..but
- Cloud based
- Perfect product for remote working team
- Customer service lacks. Difficult to find reps who can help.
- They don’t seem to care about the fact that we have uncovered numerous programming bugs in the software.
ProConnect Tax Online
- Proconnect Tax Online is linked to Quickbooks.
- It is online and does not need to be downloaded onto a computer.
- The software is not set up like other tax software for a tax professional.
- Not user friendly.
Solid Tax App
- The software is web-based thus allowing returns to be prepared from anywhere.
- Calculations are accurate.
- The forms library is robust.
- Not very many software titles outside the Intuit family can be used to integrate with the product.
- The UI is a bit dated looking.
- Can get rather costly if larger volumes of returns are prepared.
Proconnect Tax Online needs Developers
- Allows the typical "cloud" based, use-anywhere software
- Allows purchase of defined amounts of returns (bundle packages)
- Accurate calculations
- Does not allow users to print all forms. It will display them, but NOT ALLOW you to print. Developers do not have a grasp on the need to make all forms available to print and allowing users to print forms for their records
- Will not allow users to correspond with Developers
- May spend 4-5 hours of time with support to resolve issues
- Be prepared to spend time on hold while customer service 'researches' an answer
Proconnect did not fit our business model
- The software allowed for easy access from any computer.
- Proconnect allowed multiple users to access a file with minimal difficultly.
- Calculations were accurate.
- In order to provide adequate information within the return, the preparer had to constantly drill down to the necessary screens to provide input.
- The program was not very robust compared to software installed on company computers. This is probably why information needed to be added numerous times since Proconnect was not able to remember often entered entries.
- The interface with client information lacks functionality. There was little ability to customize views to sort or group clients into usable cohorts.
Proconnect Tax Online - Perfect Solution
- Ease of data entry.
- Perform in-line computations.
- Simplicity of navigating between forms.
- Seamless transition to state compliance.
- E-file tracking.
Efficient and Useful
- Allows us to collect client's information via Intuit Link. It's easy for our clients to upload their information and ask us questions via Link.
- Efiling is made easy. I can cross check the returns to make sure everything matches and then efile.
- The Dashboard is great to see where the returns stand and when they have been accepted by the state and IRS.
- Stop having the pop up survey "would you recommend to a friend" every time I e-file a return -- It's annoying.
- This year it was hard to tell when a client had added additional docs to LINK and it didn't give me the option to download "all" docs at once. I had to download each individual document!! NOT a good thing.
For 21st Century Tax Practitioners
- Cloud Based: The world is moving towards cloud based software and Intuit is on top of its game with ProConnect.
- Tight Integration with QuickBooks Online (QBO): This is a real bonus if you are using QBO and want to integrate the client's Trial Balance into ProConnect.
- Excellent Client Portal (IntuitLink): Using IntuitLink which is built into ProConnect, you can share document requests and documents with your client. You've also got a very user friendly visual "Client Organizer" rather than the clunky pile of paper based forms that many firms still use.
- Support: Excellent online chat & support for resolving any issue while working in the software.
- Flexible Pricing: Purchase as many returns as you need for tax season.
- A couple of the less common forms weren't included. However, this was during the 1st year I used the software, and I believe these were added subsequently.
- A couple of minor "nice to haves" such as ability to print watermarked "DRAFT" on a pdf version for client review.
- A couple of the screens could have better navigation.
