Lacerte has accurate and updated calculations, as well as promptings to look at potential forms which might be needed for filing.
Lacerte's diagnostics are above and beyond any other software I have worked with. With guiding questions to give completeness to the return.
Also included is an analysis of every return prepared. This will compare the return to the IRS database averages for similar returns filed. This gives tremendous insight to potential missed information or possible pitfalls that could flag the return with the IRS.
Customer support, and the Lacerte community, are always quick, friendly and very accurate with any issues I might run into - usually becasue of operator error :-)
Finally, there is contunued Professional Education credits offered through Intuit each year as part of the package. Through these classes I learn new fetures and tips, and get my CPE hours! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The price is a little higher than I was hoping, but I find it well worhth the extra cost when compared to other software applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike Turbo Tax which I previously used just to simply enter numbers and receive a report, Lacerte goes the extra mile to give me a detailed report of not only mine but my client's tax. Being a Tax Preparer myself Lacerte has made tax planning and advisory service so much easier and efficient. Also love the features that allows me to customize the tools and automatic features which applies to all my clients with just a click of a button. What I like most abou the software is the comparison I get from the Tax statement for my prior and current tax scenario. This allows me to accurately see how my financial standing has improved, also it helps pinpoint accurately if I missed out anything because it has the difference feature through comparison of the two years. Overall, I would say the best tax software I have ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm not sure, but the only flow I have here is not being able to generate an automatic editable Organizers form for my clients. Some of my clients who are not tax savy has to download and manually put in the info. It would have been better if it allows us to directly input datas into the form without having to use any third party sites like pdf filler. Moreover, it is not safe to use a third party site to edit a tax info. That is the only flow I believe can be fixed without any doubt! Thank you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lacerte Tax Software stands out for its robust and comprehensive tax preparation capabilities, making it an excellent choice for professional tax preparers handling complex returns. The software offers a wide array of forms and schedules, along with thorough diagnostic tools that help ensure accuracy before filing. Its integration with other Intuit products and third-party applications is seamless, which significantly streamlines workflow and reduces the need for manual data entry. The program’s speed in processing large amounts of data is also impressive, which is essential during the busy tax season. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Lacerte is powerful, it comes with a steep learning curve, especially for those new to the software or tax preparation in general. The interface, while functional, can feel outdated and less intuitive compared to some newer platforms. Additionally, the cost of Lacerte can be prohibitive for smaller practices, especially when considering the fees for add-ons and additional state modules. Customer support, while generally helpful, could be more responsive during peak tax times.
Overall, Lacerte Tax Software is a strong choice for seasoned professionals who need a reliable and thorough tool for tax preparation, but it may require a significant investment of both time and money to fully utilize its capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the loading of the server network version can require assistance for our IT consultant Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lacerte goes very in depth. For those returns that are extremely in depth, with many special tax rules, Lacerte is exceptional at including everything and providing trustworthy calculations. It is also set up with the ability to watch the actual forms change while adjusting the input. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lacertee is not friendly to the non-career accountant. It is not setup to resemble government forms, and many features and inputs may seem hidden. You must be an experienced accountant to use Lacerte, as it uses accountant vernacular often and "expects" that users "know what they're doing." 1065/1120/990 TB integration (and 1040 K-1s w/o a 1065) is also quite annoying to figure out and use.

It consumes alot of time while preparing tax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. The line items are listed separately and highly organized, so it's very easy to find what you are looking for and fill in the box.
2. You can preview the tax return anytime, even before all information key in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
None at this moment. I have been using multiple tax prep software and Lacerte by far is my favorate. The only issue is it's good for organization, and if you are individual and just look for good tax software for your own tax, the cost of Lacerte is high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
