Great news!  We are now able to offer you either option!  You can either choose the desktop version of the software (to put on your own network), or you can choose the online version of the software (you will have a user name and password to access the software just like logging into any secure website).  Many of our Members prepare taxes at home or "on the go" and we are therefore excited to offer the online version in addition to the "tried and true" desktop version.  You'll choose which version you want as part of our sign up process after you buy the software.

Each tax year is different with different rules the software has to account for and help you navigate.  Regardless of which software you choose, your tax business should account for investing every year on 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 15 years of past tax programs for the price of one year.  

Pronto Tax Systems tax software is a customized software program that's built on the CrossLink® Professional Tax Solutions software platform.  CrossLink has been one of the most respected names in tax software for decades, since 1989.  The program is especially popular among tax professionals who focus on serving 1040 clients.

Excellent question!  So in "Tax World," we are one year behind.  Meaning in calendar year 2025, we'll be preparing 2024 tax year tax returns.  If you purchase this software today, you'll be purchasing tax year 2024 software, meaning this is the software you'll need to use during calendar year 2025.  Meaning once you purchase this software, you'll "all set" for next year!

The other good news is that we give you the past years of the software right away, as part of today's purchase; this way you can download your software right away!  The new version of the software comes out around November.  We send you a notice when the new software comes out!

Yes!  We ALWAYS recommend downloading a demo version for ANY tax software you're considering.  Click here to download a demo now.

We certainly understand you want to make sure this software is the right fit for your needs and that you like the way it looks and feels.  Here are a bunch of videos you can watch to get a look at the software in action.

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?

"What's the catch?"

We are not in this game to just sell cheap tax software. We are here to propel independent tax pros to greater success and we have designed our exclusive tax software + training + support package with that goal in mind!

Having a full "suite" of tax software programs all the way back to 2005 is a HUGE benefit!  This allows you to take jobs preparing "back taxes" which is one of the most lucrative types of work in today's tax industry.  Over 14 million people are in collections with the IRS and many millions must file multiple years of unfiled returns. With our exclusive tax software package deal, you can do "back taxes" work, all for the cost of one year's software!

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.

We paid our graphic designer to create a "marketing kit" for opening a new tax office, including flyer designs (available in English and Spanish), business cards, retractable banner sign, and referral coupon.  You can use these designs and put your own company name on it.  This gives you professional marketing materials at no cost to you.

Pronto Tax School VP of Marketing Jeff Dolan will show you how to set up a simple, effective, and SUPER CHEAP Facebook ad for your tax business. 

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.

Yes, all forms that are attached to a Form 1040 tax return or individual states (including PR) are included in this 1040 / Individual module package.

Forms 1120 (C corporation), Form 1120S (S corporation), Form 1065 (Partnership), Form 1041 (Estate and Trust), and Form 990 (Non-Profit) are available with the Business module which is an add on (additional fee applies). If you would like to upgrade to add the 1120, 1120S, 1065, 1041, and 990 modules, please contact our support team.

Yes!

There is a $4 e-filing fee per tax return that is charged by the software manufacturer.

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

The software manufacturer charges $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.  

Yes. One of the main reasons we chose this software is because they are on the cutting edge of paperless technologies, including document archiving and digital signatures, ability for your clients to sign returns from their mobile phones, text messaging built into the software, and other cool stuff.

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).

The onilne version WILL work just fine on a Mac!  (Or tablet!)  The desktop version doesn't work on a Mac unless you have Windows isntalled on your Mac, and even then, we don't find it to be all that reliable.  If you plan to use a Mac, we recommend choosing the online version.

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.

The offer you see on this page is for the 1040 individual tax module.  Schedule C (sole proprietor) businesses, Schedule C (Capital Gains), and Schedule E (rental income) are included in the regular 1040 module that you're looking at now.

The offer on this page does not include the corporation, partnership, estate, trust, or non-profit modules.  It's 1040 only. 

If you would like to upgrade to add the 1120, 1120S, 1065, 1041, and 990 modules, please contact our support team and we can give you those options.

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

If you want direct tax support, join our Dream Team Membership here.  "Direct Tax Support" means that you can contact our Pronto Tax School Mentors 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, as opposed to tech support which deals with software usage issues.

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.

These charges may vary depending on how many bank products you process, but average cost 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. 

There is a $4 charge for e-file per tax return from the software manufacturer.

There is a $12 charge to complete a prior year tax return from the software manufacturer.

There is a charge for the "e-signature" feature of the program: $5 per signature.  You are welcome to use any third party e-signature tool you like, or use the one that's built into this software for $5 per signature.

Yes.  We are happy to provide you with a money back guarantee anytime within 14 days of purchase (no refunds after 14 days).  No hassle and 100% transparency to see if it's right for you!
