What do you like best about Thomson Reuters Checkpoint?

I've used this software in my current job and during my time in school and it has been an absolute life saver when it comes to finding tax law and other relevant materials. If you're looking for tax regs or other information to back up your findings, this is one of the most useful software out there to gather all information into an easy to use place when searching certain words. It also helps by adding boolen functions so you can summarize your searches very well and try to pinpoint what you're looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thomson Reuters Checkpoint?

As with anything that looks over tax documents, the information you receive sometimes isn't always useful and the software does not help too much at times. Sometimes the stars next to certain items are not always what you're looking for and you won't always know you've selected the wrong item until you're 15 IRC pages deep into a research project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Thomson Reuters Checkpoint:

If you're looking to help add value to your clients through tax positions you're not certain about, it's one of the best ways to do so. In the field of Tax research, it's unbeaten. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Thomson Reuters Checkpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

When you're interested in looking up specific regulations for Tax research, Checkpoint is extremely useful and one of the best research services out there. It is helpful when you're looking up areas of tax law that are not that clear and it puts all the tax court cases you need into a summarized place. I really appreciated the Boolean functions that checkpoint offers, it really helped me summarize down what I'm looking for much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Checkpoint tools is a great resource especially for an accountants use.

What do you like best about Thomson Reuters Checkpoint?

I've used the 3 "big guys" in this space (CCH IntelliConnect, BNA Tax & Accounting and RIA Checkpoint), each for over a year, and Checkpoint is definitely the most user friendly tool that provides the quickest answers. They all have great content, but Checkpoint offers the quickest and easiest answers. The search tool is great, browsing is easy. When it comes to the user, there are no complaints. My favorite tool is the create-a-charts, which are dynamic and update as the tax rules and regulations change. They are also very customization and a great way to get quick answers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thomson Reuters Checkpoint?

The cost - it tends to be more expensive than just about every competitor. While I do think it's worth the cost, you may want to consider other options based on your company's needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Thomson Reuters Checkpoint:

Don't accept the pre-determined packages they offer - it's probably more than you need. Work with your representative at RIA to get only the modules you need. Soon, they may be switching to only packages and no a-la-carte options, but for now I've found that it's cheaper to go with a-la-carte because half of what's included in the packages are things we wouldn't use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Thomson Reuters Checkpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tax research - our company operates in all 50 US states and several countries around the world, so having a good tax research tool is a must. I utilize the create-a-chart function the most often, but also use the search function from time to time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thomson Reuters Checkpoint?

I use Checkpoint quite regularly. It is a job requirement of mine assure our clients that they are handling the challenging tax compliance issues they face correctly. Without Checkpoint, I would have to conduct research much more often, which can be very tedious. Checkpoint is great at summarizing and placing the important information in my hands when I need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thomson Reuters Checkpoint?

Checkpoint can be difficult to navigate. Users who are not familiar with Checkpoint will have a difficult time in learning how to find information. There are other companies, such as CCH, that have better ways of compiling information for users and is easy to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Thomson Reuters Checkpoint:

If you are looking for a product that will find the information you need quickly and correctly, Checkpoint is the software for you. It brings you ease of access to important topics, in depth research, and easy to understand summaries of complex laws. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
