Recommendations to others considering UltraTax CS:

Do not hesitate to switch from your current tax software to UltrataxCS, especially if you already use FilecabinetCS as the two make it easier to keep records and access prior year tax returns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UltraTax CS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ultratax allows us to file tax returns easily, file them directly into FilecabinetCS, or email them directly to the client if needed. We are able to serve clients internationally because of the ability of the program to add foreign returns as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
