1040 Tax Software + Training + Support Package
That Makes Your Life as a Tax Professional
Easier, More Profitable, and More Fun.
After working with 20,000+ tax pros, while also running our own "scrappy underdog" independent tax business, we've identified three main challenges that independent tax pros are facing right now:
-
1) Difficulty in consistently, reliably acquiring new clients.
-
2) Unacceptable cost structures! For newer tax pros, or if you're doing it part-time, the tools you need eat up too much of your limited income. Meanwhile, those of us who do grow end up paying out the nose as we grow (profit margins often decline even as we add more top-line revenue ... NOT FUN!)
-
3) Lack of support from trusted friends and colleagues, a.k.a. "I'm All Alone on Tax Preparer Island ... Again."
-
Guess what? Our exclusive tax software package helps you solve all three of these notorious pain points that have afflicted independent tax professionals for so many years! Alternatively, our online version provides the flexibility of accessing your tax software from any device with an internet connection. Enjoy the convenience of cloud storage, automatic backups, and real-time collaboration capabilities. Our online platform ensures you have the freedom to work on tax returns anytime, anywhere, while maintaining data security and seamless integration with e-filing options.
Built by Independent Tax Pros, for Independent Tax Pros.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What’s the catch?
We have a limited number of licenses at this price, and we sell out every year.
I'm new to this industry. How does tax software work? Do I purchase it ever year or is this a one time purchase?
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.
What year is this software? 2021? 2022? Next year?
Excellent question! So in "Tax World," we are one year behind. Meaning in calendar year 2023, we'll be preparing 2022 tax year tax returns. If you purchase this software today, you'll be purchasing tax year 2022 software, meaning this is the software you'll need to use during calendar year 2023. 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!
When does the new version of the software come out?
Each year, the new version of the software comes out around November. This timing applies to all tax software companies because the programmers need to put in all the new tax laws that pass close to the end of the year.
If the software comes out in November, why would you buy now, right?
Simply because you will get the best pricing, and you'll make sure that you get a copy of this exclusive package. Prices go up as tax season approaches, and we sell out of this offer every year. We like to reward our returning customers by giving an "early bird" special offer, as a thank you.
Is there a way I can download a trial version or demo?
Yes! Please contact our support team support@prontotaxschool.com to request a demo of the software and this way you can download the demo to your own computer and test it out.
Where can I watch more live videos of the software in action?
We certainly understand you want to make sure this software is the right fit for your needs. Please watch the demo video at the top of this page to look at how the software flows.
Will you help me convert my client database from my old software?
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.
Can I convert my client database no matter which software I have been using?
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.
Do I need my own Electronic Filing Identification Number (EFIN) from the IRS to use this software?
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.
I see tax software that's cheaper than these prices.
Every professional faces a choice at some point: to concentrate on being the cheapest, or to concentrate on being the best. We have made our choice to strive towards being the best, while also giving our Members GREAT prices.
Keep in mind you can also get an additional 25% off your software price if you're a Dream Team Member. Click here to learn about the 25% software discount and all the other Dream Team Membership benefits.
Meanwhile, consider a few of the exclusive "extras" we give you in this package, that you can't get anywhere else, such as:
- Software training including full practice tax return walk-throughs
- Exclusive marketing tools that help you get more and better clients
- Mobile phone apps (2) included at no extra charge
- 15 years of past year tax software with your purchase of this year's tax software
- And more!
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.)
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!
Why would it benefit me to get 15 years of prior year tax software with my purchase of this year?
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!
What does "plug and play" email marketing mean?
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.
What does "plug and play" Tax Marketing Power Pack mean?
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.
What does "Low Cost, Effective Facebook Advertising Training" mean?
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.
Tell me about the support please...
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.
Does the Individual (Form 1040) software Standard Version include Schedule C or Schedule E?
Yes, all forms that are attached to a Form 1040 tax return or individual states (including PR) are included in the Individual module.
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.
Does this software include Puerto Rico returns?
Yes!
Are there additional fees on a per return basis?
No. You have unlimited e-file included.
Are there additional fees for different states?
No. You get all state forms included for the 1040 module.
Is there a fee to use e-signatures (remote signature) within the software?
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.
Can this software help me set up a paperless business?
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.
I want to make sure I'll have good support.
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).
Will it work on my Mac?
Unfortunately, we do not support Mac at this time.
Can the software work on a network among multiple users?
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.
Can I download the software on multiple computers, such as putting one copy on my desktop and one copy on my laptop?
Yes, you can.
Does the software include corporate and partnership tax return forms as well as individual?
The offer you see on this page is for the 1040 individual tax module. Schedule C (sole proprietor) businesses and Schedule E (rental income) are included in the regular 1040 module for the Standard Version.
The offer on this page does not include the corporation, partnership, estate, trust, or non-profit modules. It's 1040 only.
We are working now on our "business version" software + training + support package and expect to have that available soon. If you'd like to get on the waiting list, please contact our support team and this way we can send you a notice when the business version package comes out!
Can Pronto Tax School Mentors provide me with direct tax support as part of this package?
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.
Joining the Dream Team Membership also gets you an additional 25% off your software price! Click here to see what all is included in the Dream Team Membership and, if it's right for you, join now.
Are there any other charges I should be aware of before I purchase?
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.
These charges may vary depending on how many bank products you process, but average cost is about $90 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.
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.
Do you have a money back guarantee on this software?
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!
