@The_AntiTax_Man ok.. my viewpoint of it..There were three people there.. Gabi from the community was there and some gentleman who I still don't know who he was.  Part way through the session a third person came in but I don't believe she said anything or asked any questions. 

Most of the questions were from Gabi and the fellow there.  It was difficult to tell if they were ProSeries specific employees or if they had other roles with Intuit.   I did not get the impression that they were at the decision making level based on just the vibe of the meeting.

I answered their questions and provided my feeback based not only my thoughts but tried to incorporate concerns brought up here.  I still feel very strongly that the number one concern that I personally have is to have the program ready to go, and all forms available on day one of tax season.  I know during Covid that was not always possible since things were in flux then but this is a stable year tax wise.  I don't really have problems with how the program works or how to use the program.  I am ready to go on day one of tax season and not having forms ready, federal or state, really puts a crimp in my process and I am sure others as well. 

As far as program support, I read somewhere that ProSeries had the large number of preparers among any professional tax software.  I tried to stress how it seems TurboTax was supported more than ProSeries, at least that seems to be the consenus here based on comments I have read.  Program support comes back to forms availaiblity in many ways also.

Overally, they seemed interested in what I was saying as they acknowledged my comments but I did not get a real strong impression any action that they may proceed with.  I hope they do though and look forward to a good tax season again coming up.
