    Software for a Mac

    I am probably going to retire after many years working for Block. However, I would like to do a few returns at home (mainly for friends and family) at least until my current EA renewal expires in 2 years. My question: What software is out there that works on a Mac and is not too expensive?

    No professional software.

    I run VM Fusion and can use any software that exists, at about the same speed as it runs on a good PC.

      PC prices have really dropped. But, if you have to use a Mac, there are programs that give you a virtual PC on a Mac so you can run any PC program. One client of mine uses Parallels and loves it.

        Thanks

        Sounds like I'll need to buy software for my Mac that simulates a PC and go from there. That seems like a viable option. Thanks for the input.

          You can also use an online system

          Both Intuit and taxsoftware.com provide online professional pay-per-return.

            Didn't even think about that. ProSystem fx is available online, something like ProSystem fx Global.
