Pros
Ultra tax is a great software where they have every form tax related to each state and federal. Ultra tax is a good job to keep updating to the newest versions of all forms as tax laws keep changing.
The best thing about UltraTax is knowing that the output will result in an accurate tax return every time.
The software is pretty robust. I use ACS (bookkeeping), Ultratax, and FileCabinet daily, and it works well for me.
Cons
Using UltraTax CS in the cloud setting has been frustrating at times due to the hosting.
Quickbooks did not covert well, although we were reassured by the sales people that they did it all the time. They have lied to me every step of the way.
Can be difficult to understand and become used to.

Great for complicated returns

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

The software is exceptional for completing complicated returns. Very thorough once one understands all of the ins-and-outs of the software. Very organized.

Cons

Can be difficult to understand and become used to. Not well suited for beginning accountants.

Very Expensive with Terrible Support

Reviewed 2 months ago

I used to love Ultra Tax and recommend it to everyone. Now it's very expensive and it's getting so it's not worth the money.

Pros

the program is easy to use, and integrates with other CS applications

Cons

[sensitive content hidden] did away with e-mail support and expects users to text! I'm sorry, I don't have time to stare at my screen waiting for an answer to a text. They also started using support technicians from out of the country, and the technicians do not understand US taxes. I had one support rep that didn't know what a common form is. E-filing costs $15 per return if you don't purchase unlimited.

This has been an awful experience !

Reviewed 8 months ago

RUN !!!! Do not purchase this overpriced and extremely time consuming software.

Pros

It is suppose to work hand in hand with the accounting software. It is very cumbersome to get set up with little to no help from Support.

Cons

Pretty much everything ! I have asked for my money back several times. This is suppose to be a high end software. IF you have HOURS to go thru and set up everything and get the proper training on how to do each phase MAYBE. We signed up end of June and our training didn't start until mid October. We were given 4 - 4hr sessions for the conversion (which we are still fighting) and how to us the program. Quickbooks did not covert well, although we were reassured by the sales people that they did it all the time ! They have lied to me every step of the way. It can take days to get a response. AND now after paying over $20,000 for the accounting and tax software (for this year) we are being sent an invoice for Sales tax that they forgot to add.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE

Reviewed 6 months ago

Frustrated with the customer service. It sucks.

Pros

The program is great! Truly. There are quirks (like any software), but when you cannot figure something out there is essentially nobody there to help at all.

Cons

When you chat with them online they never help. They always run you in circles or claim that their server isn't working that that you need to call. How would that change anything? Our assigned account manager can never answer our questions, and always refers us to the online chat. What is the point of an account manager if they can never help us?

Covers all tax aspects

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall I would recommend ultra tax as it is easy to use and covers every tax form

Pros

Ultra tax is a great software where they have every form tax related to each state and federal. Ultra tax is a good job to keep updating to the newest versions of all forms as tax laws keep changing. In my eyes ultra taxes one of the two biggest players in tax software.

Cons

The software is great however the customer support lacks. If you have an issue you could be on hold waiting for a representative for hours.
