Each tax year is different with different rules the software has to account for and help you navigate.  Regardless of which software you choose, you'll need to budget for for investing every year in the updated software. 

In other words, each year of software is a separate purchase. 

Partnering with a solid software partner year after year at an affordable price is important and that's why we give you so many years of past tax programs for the price of one year.  

Absolutely!  It's always a good idea to try before you buy.  Here are the steps to download a Drake Software demo:

1. Register here: https://drakesoftware.com/service-learning/register/
2. After you register, log into your account, and go here to download the demo software: https://support.drakesoftware.com/AuthMenu/Download?softwareCategory=DrakeTax

After you login, select “Download.” 

You can Google search "Drake Tax Software" and watch videos showing how the software works.

Yes! Our tech support team will provide PERSONALIZED onboarding to convert your client database from you old software into your Pronto Tax Systems software.  "Personalized" means that an actual human being will assist you step-by-step through the process.

Our tech support team will help you convert from your files contained in professional tax software programs.  We can convert files from almost any professional tax software.  We do not convert client files from TurboTax® or other "do it yourself" tax software programs.  If you have questions about whether or not we can transfer from a particular software or not, please feel free to contact our support team.

You do not need an EFIN to purchase or use the software.  You do need an EFIN to e-file returns to the IRS.  If you do 10 or more tax returns professionally, you are required to e-file, unless you fill out an opt-in form.  It normally takes about 45-60 days to get an EFIN from the IRS.

Do you though?  Is it the same software?  Do they charge a 'per e-file' fee?

What's the catch?

If any other company can give you all that we give you for less than we charge, please contact us right away to let us know who that company is! 

We will beat ANY price as long as they give you the same level of value we do. (We haven't seen another company beat our offer yet, but if they ever do, just contact us right away so that we can get it fixed.)

Email marketing remains a highly effective, extremely low cost method of getting clients.  The problem is, you have to write the emails, and set up the system.  We remove those barriers to entry by just giving you the emails!  And we even show you, step-by-step, in detail, how to set up an easy and free email marketing system.

Our exclusive tax software + training + support package includes the best email and phone tech support we know of in the industry. 

Software Technical Support includes helping you install the software, migrate data, troubleshoot software issues, etc.

Pronto Tax School Members receive exclusive and substantial discounts on this package.  Click here to view Membership Plan Options so that you can get a big discount on your software every year.

No. You have unlimited e-file included.

No. You get all state forms included for the 1040 module.

Great support, including straight up CLUTCH tax season support and personalized, one-on-one onboarding to help you get the software set up on your computer(s).

In order to get this special deal for you, we are set up with the software supplier in a way where your software is associated with Pronto as  "Master EFIN holder."  We do not view your client database, we do not require you to work with any particular bank, nor do anything else to exert control over your business.  Nor do we charge any fees beyond the software purchase price.  We will always do everything we can to act in your best interests and keep you always free to do whatever you choose with your own business.  We have plenty of our own tax clients and would NEVER try to take yours or harm you or your clients in any way.  If you have further questions about how a Master EFIN works when buying software, just let us know!

Software supplier has added a $5 per signature charge, to use the e-signature / remote signature feature of the software.  You are not obligated to use that feature and, if you don't want to pay the per e-signature fee, you can always obtain a third party e-signature tool and use that.  

As long as you have Windows on your Mac, yes this software can work on a Mac.

You can get this exclusive deal if you're an existing Drake customer, yes.  However, out of respect for our partner Drake Tax Software, we do ask that existing Drake customers only switch over to this exclusive deal if you see value in the all the extra stuff we have added to our package.  We prefer not to win your business just because we offer these exclusive discounts.  

Also please be aware that if you are an existing Drake customer, there is some extra work involved in changing you over to our exclusive package, especially if you use "third party integrations" such as Rightworks cloud hosting or GruntWorx. 

It is doable but please plan for a little bit extra work to switch over.

Yes, you can put multiple users onto the software on a network. For instance, if you work with three other people, all of them could work off your software license, as long as all returns are e-filed from one central location.

Yes, you can.

GruntWorx is a software that automates your data entry for tax preparation; so in other words, the software allows you to scan tax documents and then the software fills out the tax return "automagically" without you doing the data entry.  

GruntWorx is directly integrated into this software package.  However, it is not free or included with your purchase of the software.  GruntWorx also charges a small amount "per job." 

If you have questions about GruntWorkx pricing, please feel free to contact GruntWorx directly.

Yup!  Everything included!

This offer is not valid in Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, and Nebraska, due to a pre-existing business relationship that Drake has with another partner.  Out of respect for their pre-existing relationship, please don't buy this software package if you live in Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, or Nebraska.  Thank you!

Our tech support team provides you with ongoing tech support via email and phone included.  And that is included in this package.

If you would like to be able to directly contact our Pronto Tax School Leadership Team to ask any questions about tax returns you're working on, how to grow your tax business, and anything else that's on your mind, we offer tax and tax business support through our Dream Team Membership.

If you use bank products (when a client pays your fee out of the tax refund), you have to pay charges to the bank that handles the transaction, the software company, and the service bureau.  

We (Pronto) charge $25 per bank product, to help cover our costs.

You are under no obligation to offer bank products. 

There are no charges for regular e-filed tax returns.

The total amount of charges applied to each bank product (including the Pronto $25 fee per bank product) may vary depending on how many bank products you process and which bank you use.  In general, the average cost passed on to the tax client is about $110 per bank product. 

These charges are standard in the industry anytime you use bank products and are very competitive to the bank product pricing offered by other software providers. 

You are under no obligation to offer bank products. 

There are no charges for regular e-filed tax returns.
