Pros

“There is no relationship manager, if you have an issue you have to call, give the info again, wait for a call back etc. While Drake works well generally, I suggest ensuring you ask a lot of questions before listening to sales to proceed. ”

Marie P.

Tax Preparer

“The ability for the software to update clients from prior years is a particularly useful feature and saves us a lot of time.”

Bernie C.

CEO

“Drake helps us optimize the time spent on each return because the built in compliance features and warnings gives us confidence that we are thorough with each return. ”

Maribeth J.

Income Tax Return Preparation Coordinator

Pros

“RELIABILITY AND ACCURACY.”

Raj N.

C.A, , C.P.A

“We process a multitude of tax returns for both personal and corporate. ”

Eric T.

CEO / Director

“TaxPrep iFirm is integrated with the iFirm Client mgmt, Time & Billing software, which allows us to update client information once, in one location, instead of in multiple data bases, and locations. ”

Collin Y.

Sole Practictioner

Cons

“Year‑over‑year hikes of this size don’t reflect the value delivered, especially when many features remain unchanged.”

Ion T.

CEO

“I am OK to deal with occasional (but painful) software hang-ups, but I hope they rethink this approach, because it’s pushing long‑time users away.”

Ion T.

CEO

“New forms and tax law changes are shoe-horned in on screens like pimples on a face.”

Robert B.

Preparer

Cons

“The TaxPrep letters are harder to modify and I do not like the use of "federal return" when all of my clients only file federal returns. ”

Janice S.

Consultant

“Sometimes changes are made to the product that negatively impact workflow and efficiency, it seems like they were not tested in an office environment”

Adrian J.

CEO

“The delay to be able to print paper filed returns like Sec 216 every year is unreasonable.”
