the software would depend upon the volume of tax returns you plan to do and also the type. You may need the ability to do 1040, 1065, 1120 ect. How many tax returns you prepare will affect the cost. If you purchase an unlimited version the cost will be higher

Value is in the eye of the beholder.  Determine how much you are willing to spend and then get some demos of software that is in your price range.  Select the one that is appropriate for your practice.

If this answers your question please click, um, ok I forgot what you are supposed to click. If this answered your question, how about just saying thanks and we will call it good.

 Personally, I'd suggest "one you already know how to use."  No sense in adding in another layer of complication.

If you have so little tax experience you've never used professional software to prepare a return, may I suggest that software choice may be the least of your concerns.

If I wanted phone calls, my phone number would be in my profile. If you have a question, post it in the applicable forum.
