If you have a pro that uses the software then you should be fine. If you are using the software and need any support from THEIR customer support people or dedicated rep, be prepared to be frustrated! Horrible Customer Service but it is due to Wolters Kluwer not caring and purchasing various tax products but not having the ethics to make sure they are properly trained or overwhelmed

CCH offered a best-in-class product at a price point that was "reasonable", given the high volume of users in our organization and the immense number of tax returns we complete annually. We also already employ many other tools from the WoltersKluwer family of applications, which alleviates the administrative burden of reviewing a new vendor.
