What do you like best about UltraTax CS?

The customer service is great except we kept getting bills for every bit of prorated time we called in. Last months bill was almost $600 and all we were trying to do was learn the software...as if the software wasn't expensive enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UltraTax CS?

Everything we were told the software could do was a lie. It is not user friendly, the calendar in the practice management program can't schedule appointments after 4pm (confirmed by their IT department). If you want to change a recurring appointment you have to go into every occurrence for all of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UltraTax CS:

Make sure to check the system requirements prior to signing a contract. We ended up having to pay $3,000 for a new server because the Practice CS and UltraTax can't run on the same server. The Practice CS software is a joke and the UltraTax software is not at all intuitive...very difficult to use. Long learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We left Ultratax right before tax season it was so bad...back to Proseries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UltraTax CS?

Ultra Tax is fast and data input is straightforward. Unlike the last version of ProSystem fxTax Tax I used, Ultra Tax lets you quickly switch between form and input view without needing time to recalculate. This makes it so much easier to see what the results of your work and make sure inputs are correct. The ability to bring over K-1s from other entity returns prepared in Ultra Tax works well.

Support is knowledgeable and helpful, although wait times for support can get long during busy season. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UltraTax CS?

The organizer system for individual returns isn't as good as ProSystem fxTax's organizer system. Ultra Tax generates a decent organizer, but there isn't a good way to index organizers once they're scanned. Allocating income from K-1s between states is a pain, although I don't know of any tax software that handles it better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UltraTax CS:

Of the big two software programs for tax prep (UltraTax and Prosystems fx Tax) Ultra Tax definitely has the edge for corporate returns because it's faster and easier to use. I think Ultra Tax still has the edge for personal returns since it's faster, although I wish there were a better way to scan and index workpapers, the organizer, and client files. Thomson Reuters Filecabinet can do some indexing, but it's not as good at indexing documents and organizers for individual tax returns as Prosystems software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We prepare tax returns for businesses, trusts, and individuals. Ultra Tax usually allows us to quickly and accurately prepare returns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
