Some people are sick and tired of reading about this from me but I am also tired of talking about it but why the heck does drake have this form in their software and proseries does not?

ProSeries Basic

Because Drake is a crappier functioning program but they do a better job of listening to their customers and try to make them happy.

Then I guess it still comes back to something you told me before. The name of the game is patience.

Yup - but Intuit does like to test our patience on a regular basis.

In my opinion it appears Drake software seems to have the forms ready earlier. They also have a good customer service department from what I have heard. But in my opinion it is not as user-friendly as Pro Series, i.e. it is not as easy to navigate as Pro Series, and takes a while longer to learn than Pro Series. But all of this is just my opinion.

That seems to be the opinion of many other preparer. As irritated as we all are right now when push comes to shove I think we wil all stary with proseries. We dont want to trade one headache for another headache.

I went to a Drake seminar. Theirs is an input form program where ProSeries is a tax form input program. I did input forms back in the early 80's where we would fill out forms, ship them to Dallas, Tx or Virginia. Get the return back, re-ship them down for corrections and adjustments.* Computax and some others I cannot remember. I hate waiting but wait I will because I prefer this type of input.

* And ADP picked up our coded check stubs every day and dropped them off the next with a general ledger. Then we got our first business computer - a 33 pound portable Compaq so we could do our own general ledgers. Cost $10,000 and was slow as anything. Got a hernia from carrying it around. Ah the good old days........

You have two choices - accept and wait or switch software. None of us "like" the delays but in the last few years, and with the daily tax form changes it's become reality.

Not just Drake but even the at-home TurboTax version already have it ready!
After patiently putting up with Proseries for 28 years, I think it's time to move onto another software after this tax season.
