Product FAQs

Software questions offices ask.

Is this consumer self-filing software?
No. This is professional tax-office software for licensed preparers operating under their own EFIN. It is not a consumer product.
Can I try the software before enrolling?
You can request a software demonstration from the provider demo request page linked on this page. Live production access is delivered only after purchase, agreement execution, and onboarding.
Can I move my client data from another product?
Data-migration assistance can be requested during enrollment. Scope depends on your source system and data quality, and is confirmed in writing — it is not automatic.
Do I have to offer bank products?
No. Bank products are optional and require a separate application to a participating bank, which makes its own approval decision and sets its own fees.
Is the Branded Mobile Tax App included?
It is associated with your professional software access and delivered through its own activation process. Its current verified status is Third-Party Approval Required, subject to provider approval and written verification.
How many preparers can use the software?
Seat counts differ by package. The Plans & Pricing page shows the comparison, and your representative confirms your office's seat count in writing.
What happens at the end of the season?
R&A confirms your renewal with your office before anything is billed. Automatic renewal execution and unattended billing are not operational.
