Its all a big game where they charge legacy users a boatload with no real added benefits. My quote was 9% higher than last year which was 6% higher than the year before. At what point do they price themselves out of the market. 15% increase in the cost of the program over two years and I see no improvements. The organizers have not changed in 15 years. They are not fillable for the client nor can we alter them other that add or remove pages and control the order in which they print
When asked for an explanation for the price increase, I was told they rolled the unlimited e-signing of forms 8879 into the cost of the program. No longer optional, it is included whether you use it or not - and you are paying for it.
To pass the increase cost onto the client becomes difficult after awhile. The same client, the same five forms, how do you justify charging a 15% increase over two years. Eventually, it gets hard to justify the cost of preparation to a client.
I looked into dropping down to a different package - from unlimited to 400 return limit. By the time you add back the cost of fixed asset manager and the organizer, there is no real savings from the unlimited package. They really don't leave you much choice.
I was also told the program will be more efficient and cut down on input time - where is this feature? I saw nothing that changed for me.
