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.

Ultra Tax Software 1 Year experience

Reviewed 5 months ago

I have filed almost 170 return in this tax season and it is very useful software for tax returns.

Pros

Ultra Tax is helpful for input the basic tax documents like 1099 Int, Div and 1099 B.

Cons

Import K-1 because If you file corporate return than only you can import K1 for Personal return.

Terrible Product. Don't waste your money.

Reviewed a year ago

Yikes.

Pros

Terrible software and expensive. Other softwares are comparable (if not better quality) and are a third of the price. EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS BEFORE PURCHASING.

Cons

Price, they are scammers - kept charging me with a subscription and wouldn't let me cancel. Also the quality of the software is not good for the price.

UltraTax is accurate and thorough when completing your tax returns

Reviewed a year ago

Overall, because the resulting tax returns are accurate, I'd have to say that the experience was a good one. After using for a longer period any one will get the hang of it and will not want to go back.

Pros

The best thing about UltraTax is knowing that the output will result in an accurate tax return every time.

Cons

The learning curve can be a little daunting for some, especially when switching from a different software. Getting used to can take some time after using a different package for so many years.

Easy to use and simple

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

This is another great product by Thomson Reuters. TR puts a lot of thought, money and effort into their products. The software allows for streamlined control of data

Cons

Since it cloud based the response time could always be quicker. Regardless of the gigabit connection we use, it still seems to lag a bit.
