When is proseries going to support form 5471, makes no sense that we are paying for a software, which does not support main forms.

why in the world it is not supported yet. PDFing the forms is not sexy.

Ive never even seen a Form 5471, is it a common form?

[itonewbie]

Actually, relatively common.  It's available in PS for business modules, just not for individuals.  But then again, PS is not the best software for international returns.

[mashat]

from my experience Corptax is the best software for international forms. Gosystem next in line

[itonewbie]

I second that for GoSystem but it comes with the price tag.

[mashat]

yeah and gosystems tech support sucks. corptax has the best tech support. you submit a ticket online and then the ticket get assigned to the tech with the most qualification to answer your question and then tech calls you back and works with your to resolve the matter. paradise.

I really don't think that is a main form.  It might be common for your practice but not for mine or Lisa's or anyone else that doesn't spend time with international returns.  Besides, nobody has ever called ProSeries sexy.  Lacerte isn't sexy either, but if you get her drunk, she might show you her 5471.

Hence choosing software based on the profile of your clients. :+1:
