Thanks for posting this topic. @lkgcpa 

You read my mind because CCH Answer Connect has a 15% discount that expires tomorrow.  This is a good product. $1,500 per year before discount.  AnswerConnect essentials is $750. This product is for very small firms and is tempting.

I am feeling dissatisfied with the CCH product as finding answers seems to take more navigation than I have had time for.  So, I think the Master Tax Guide is what I'm going to purchase.

Quickfinder is good. I remember the ease of use and the intuitive organization of the printed copies.  I stopped it about five years but might restart.  How much does it cost?

There is a nice little newsletter, I forget the name.  Someone will jump in and tell me.

And, finally, in a less popular opinion, I am finding that ChatGPT will provide reliable answers...with citations. (Some extra work to verify answer you might think are not correct.)

I think I made up my mind:  CCH Master Tax Guide $349, Quickfinder Small Business $81, ChatGPT $20/month, Spidell CPE for California taxes $348, Google, and the Lacerte community comprise my library.
