Top tax forums

None better than the NAEA board. Of course only EAs would benefit.

I have participated in the ATX community board for years but it keeps growing and the messages scroll off the view so soon I have pretty much quit the board and only post occasionally now. Also, it has become an efile problem board for the most part.

I see a few familiar ppl at the Quickfinder board. Sure is a slow message board.

Drake forum

The Drake Forum is very good, but you have to be a Drake user to access it. There are several different sub-forums, so if a category is irrelevant to you, you can skip it. There is also an off-topic board which keeps some off-topic comments segregated, but often an on-topic discussion gets hijacked with some witticism or some evolution from topic A to topic B.

The Unofficial ATX Community

The Unofficial ATX Community is much better than the forum provided by ATX, IMO. It has the distinct advantage of being completely autonomous. It is paid for by the participants, so a vendor can't shut it down or censor it if they happen not to like something being said by a member.

I've abandoned ATX and I'm now a committed Drake user, but I plan to stay active on that forum precisely because of its independence. Of course, after this tax season it may need an alteration to its name...

I also use the ATX Community (UNofficial). They now have a separate forum for software concerns, so non-users like me (ProSystem fx) can still discuss tax issues.

I love the New York/CT Association of Tax Professionals board. You need to be a member of NY/CT-ATP, but it's only about $50/year.

And, of course, TTB.

Sometimes I get over to the NAEA and NATP boards.

I've left QF for good, and don't frequent Tax Almanac unless someone points to a discussion over there.

For lots of laughs and lunacy there's always the craigslist tax forum.

Agree with taxmandan.

Absolutely nothing compares to the NAEA Webboard.

If you're an EA, you really need to check it out.

This thread might hold the record for the longest period of dormancy between add-on posts. It was started on March 31, 2006, and received three replies that day. It then did a Rip Van Winkle and slept for nearly seven years until awakened with a new reply on March 2, 2013. I don't know how long this Board has been in existence, but I'm guessing it doesn't date back too much earlier than 2006.

TTB message board began in May of 2005 by several QF editors who resigned from QF to start a competing company.
