I should have posted this by itself instead of adding on to an older post.
I just wanted to bring this topic up as I decided to give the TRX software a try. I have used TS for 10 years and wanted to try this product for the price. I find that I really like it. I am going from a menu based program to a forms based one, but I didn't find it difficult at all.
In fact, it may be somewhat easier as you get a menu screen of forms to choose from. If you decide to do the interview section, many of your forms will be selected for you. The depreciation worksheet was not hard at all. With TRX you work more with worksheets anyway. Any questions I had, I jotted down and asked my representative when we talked. He provided me with several shortcuts as well. This program includes unlimited e-file, all states and I believe the business forms. The forms I need are in the software that sells for $299. I only started testing this program in earnest in the last day. I started with a few easier ones graduating to more difficult returns. Not bad.
I am getting another program from TRX that's more "their" program. I am told it has more to offer and is just as good, if not better, than the TRX one they send out. I should have it in a few days and will work with both to decide which I like better. The price is $299, also. This will save me big dollars on tax software this year. I am a small home based business and need to cut corners wherever I can. I don't offer bank products.
My customer service rep was excellent. I am feeling good about making the switch. I appreciate the comments here about TRX/TW, as well as those I've communicated with via e-mail. I hope mine can help someone struggling to make a decision.
