The Professional Tax Software Comparison Chart has a new update with TaxAct, ATX, MyTaxPrepOffice, and UltimateTax all adding noteworthy improvements.

Muscatine, IA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/25/2020 -- With the tax season on the horizon, UltimateTax has once again updated its "Professional Tax Software Comparison Chart" to help tax preparers find the best professional tax software for their business.

Now in its third year running, this chart is the primary source tax preparers use to find and compare professional tax software systems. Since its initial launch, the chart has been saving tax preparers from the hassle of jumping from website to website to compare tax software systems themselves.

Accompanying the chart, UltimateTax also provides an in-depth, expert analysis of what tax preparers should consider when looking for software, followed by critical reviews of each software system listed on the chart.

Whether they are long-established or new to the business, every tax preparer will benefit from checking out the updated chart to see how the software they use stacks up in today's competitive scene.

UltimateTax launches a mobile app. Other companies make improvements.

Most software providers have made improvements over the year, with the most significant ones coming from UltimateTax, TaxAct, ATX, and MyTaxPrepOffice.

Besides enjoying complete and powerful software at affordable rates, UltimateTax users can now enjoy their tax software on-the-go thanks to UltimateTax's newly launched mobile app. It is one of the most significant upgrades from last year's comparison article.

TaxAct, ATX, and MyTaxPrepOffice also added some new features.

TaxAct is no longer limited to form data entry. With its new Q&A data entry, it's easier for clients to fill in the right information.

ATX made importing data to 1040 Schedule C, 1065, 1120, or 1120S forms easier for QuickBooks Online users.

MyTaxPrepOffice, a cloud-based tax system, has rectified one of its most glaring shortcomings by adding a client portal. Now, users can allow their clients to access a portal and share their documents securely.

Gearing up for the 2020 season.

Although the tax season is still in the distance, UltimateTax advises tax preparers to get their tax software as early as now to save money.

"...it can be a good idea to purchase your software long before the tax season begins. Many products are available at a discounted rate if bought several months before the tax season." Mike Steele, CEO of UltimateTax, recommends.

For tax preparers who are still undecided on which tax software to use, reading the comparison chart is the best way to understand and evaluate the options.

Many companies build tax software, and most of these companies offer several variations of their product. They do this to cater to every type of tax preparer - from small businesses to large corporations.

With the help of the comparison chart, Mike says tax preparers will find the software that "...will satisfy your precise needs at a price point you can be happy about."

Tax preparation software company will partner with new banking partners for 2019 with new lost-cost options available.

Muscatine, IA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/10/2018 -- One of the leading providers of professional tax preparation software, UltimateTax, has announced their new banking partners for 2019. They have also reported details regarding their bank product pricing. For the 2019 tax season, UltimateTax will work primarily with two banking partners, Santa Barbara Tax Products Group (TPG) and EPS Financial, a division of MetaBank, offering different products from each vendor in order to best suit the diverse needs of clients.

UltimateTax has worked with TPG since 2006 and will continue that longstanding relationship next year by offering the same selection of TPG refund transfer services and other banking products that were so popular for the 2018 tax season. TPG's demonstrated excellence at onboarding and regulatory compliance will continue to make it a clear choice for many UltimateTax clients. UltimateTax customers have frequently praised TPG's professionalism, as well, highlighting another valuable asset in a banking partner.

For 2019, UltimateTax will for the first time offer banking products from EPS Financial. A visit to the EPS headquarters in Easton, Pennsylvania, left UltimateTax representatives impressed with the efficiency and smoothness of that company's operations. The new partnership with EPS will add a number of low-cost options to the UltimateTax lineup. EPS-provided bank products obtained through UltimateTax will cost only $40 per tax return, with non-bank products incurring only a $5 fee per return. Participation in the new program will be open to all customers who purchase UltimateTax professional tax preparation software in either the Desktop or Online versions.

"We're proud to announce that we have chosen to work with Santa Barbara Tax Products Group and EPS Financial as our banking partners for the 2019 tax season," said UltimateTax founder and President Mike Steele. "Our longtime relationship with TPG has paid off in many ways for our clients and their customers over the years, so it was natural to keep this proven arrangement in place for 2019. We're also excited to be working for the first time with EPS Financial, an especially impressive division of MetaBank. As true leaders in the field, these two banking partners will combine to perfectly satisfy the full range of our clients' requirements."

In addition to the newly announced banking partnerships and product pricing details, UltimateTax also confirmed that the company will continue its relationship with software solutions provider Wolters Kluwer. Since 2006, that partnership has helped UltimateTax stand out as one of the best professional tax preparation software offerings in the industry.

With the Refund Transfer bank product, tax preparing professionals get paid by the refund and do not need to wait for their clients to pay them.

Muscatine, IA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/22/2018 -- UltimateTax, the premier provider of tax preparation software for the tax preparer industry introduced the refund transfer bank product to facilitate professional tax preparers. The remarkable product would simplify the process of refund transfer for tax preparing professionals, allowing them to acquire their preparation and authorization fees quickly and conveniently.

With the UltimateTax refund transfers, a tax preparer can now offer up to $2,500 in the form of an advance for the 3rd year in a row. The product will also help tax preparing professionals in expanding their business and reaching out to a vast base of clients.  The UltimateTax will also offer monthly billing options to tax preparers, which is the first time this has been done in this manner for the professional tax software industry.

Sharing more information about the refund transfer product, a spokesperson at UltimateTax reiterated, "At UltimateTax, we're committed to providing our clients with the best in class refund options and solutions. With Refund Transfer, the tax preparing professionals will be able to deduct the fee for preparing tax as well as the authorized fees, directly from their client's tax refunds."

UltimateTax's Refund Transfer product also provides tax filing individuals to acquire their tax refunds even when they do not have a bank account. It facilitates direct fund deposit and does not require them to wait for their refund checks. It must be noted that when the bank issues a bank refund via the states or IRS, it then deducts the authorized fee from the amount and later forwards the money to the respective parties automatically.

This implies that the fee for preparing tax returns is directly taken from the refund amount received by the client and later deposited into their accounts. This does not require them to make an upfront payment, and the tax preparing professionals also get paid at the time of federal or state deposit for the services provided by them. With this type of arrangement, the tax preparing professionals can operate their offices efficiently and grow as well as expand their practice conveniently.

After a client has selected the Refund Transfer product, there are several options for receiving their refund or disbursed amount. These options include; Receiving a direct deposit or check directly from the IRS or receiving a check (which can easily be printed in their offices), a prepaid card with Green Dot, or a Walmart Direct2Cash direct deposit.

As a result, their clients are able to cash their checks for a minor fee or go to a Walmart outlet for picking up their refund amount in the form of cash. Apart from this, they can also use their prepaid card that is directly loaded with the refund amount.

With Refund Transfer their clients can get their refunds secure and straightforward. Tax preparing professionals need to remind their clients to set up a bank account prior to filing their state and federal taxes. This would enable their clients to acquire their refund amount in a safe and hassle-free manner. It is not necessary for the client to have their own bank account to file their taxes. UltimateTax's products provide a variety of options to receive their refund.

UltimateTax, which is a leading provider of taxation software, offers over twelve different standard features to facilitate tax preparing professionals in their tax filing process. With their launch pad feature, tax preparing professionals can view the standard options right on the front of their dashboards. This further helps them in speeding up their workflow. UltimateTax also offers the Free Conversions option to tax preparing professionals that further allows them to convert their data from their existing taxation program to UltimateTax. This enables them in saving a great deal of time required for updating their data and information on the UltimateTax software.
