I absolutely love the support Intuit provides to it's customers. We primarily use Lacerte for NYS returns which have the most complexity of all states from my experience. Other software was no match in the past and I would never downgrade. The override systems and easy input access to forms makes it easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I only dislike the price point which is around $20k for our setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program is easy to use. You do not need to know much about accounting to input numbers. It has a great platform and the help is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be nice to have reference to the form numbers when inputting the information. Such as form 1040 or form 1120 on the input page so you know where to reference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The input screens are very well organized and extremely intuitive. The diagnostics are great. Great workflow features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software is very expensive and customer support could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to switch between entities (partnership, s-corporation, etc...) with keyboard shortcuts. Automatic save upon exit is extremely helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Doesn't switch to Corporate with Alt+C like it says it should..or at least I've never been able to get it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how quickly you can process tax returns and how easy the software is to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It takes some time to familiarize yourself with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its a good software for expert tax preparers. I am an expert working at cogneesol and i saw all tax experts at cogneesol are working comfortably with intuit's lacerte. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Designed for small or medium sized businesses, not for large scale tax preparation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is premium quality software. It has all the bells and whistles and can handles the most complex tax returns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is direct entry. You should probably have a strong accounting background or take lots of specific training in order to use this software most effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to use. Migrating between screens is simple and the diagnostics test when finished helps check for errors or missed items. The entry process overall is easy to use as well. They also have great support to help you with any issues you have. Anytime I have called for assistance they take the time to focus on you and work through your issue until it is solved. This program is easy to learn and easy to teach to new employees as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am not fond of the popups that invade the screen every time I login in. You can easily hide them but its an extra step. I also wish updates could be performed on only the states you use as updating every state every time there is an update is time consuming. The cost is also slightly higher than similar products.

I like the ability to jump around to different forms and then input my tax numbers directly into the space by double clicking the applicable form. I also like the tax summary feature, this allows me to compare quickly different tax years and get a birds eye view of the tax return. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like the option to be able to proforma backwards in time. Currently you can only pro forma forwards. i do not like the fact that I have to buy a subscription to BNA to do more detailed research and to get more estate planning forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
