My rankings. Interested in yours.

1. Income Tax Advisor

2. Tax Planner

3. 2025 Lacerte Tax software

Each has pros and cons:

ITA. Con:  state inputs and reports, especially California, are incomplete.  Pro: Strategies are good

Tax Planner: Con:  The "drill down" aspect has been unwieldy since the 1990s; please update it to modern input forms.  Pro - scenarios and years are useful. Clients love options and this feature is necessary.

LC: Con - seems to be the last software to be updated for latest tax laws and so planning must wait.  Pro:  Input forms beat all ITA and Planner.
