subject: Hosting Atx Tax Software: A Cheaper Proposition With Higher Returns [print this page] As quoted by Benjamin Franklin somewhere more than 200 years back that In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes. While medical science has taken care of deaths but Tax is still certain in todays scenario. Of course, Tax practitioners are very prepared for this certainty now. They are using latest tax software to get the return file just in time for themselves and their client. No one can think to prepare tax returns without tax software these days as absence of tax software make the work unproductive and increase the chance of delay. But at the same time everything comes with certain cost.
There are number of software available in the market having benefits better than others. One needs to decide to go for the best option which can increase the return on investment. Choice of tax software basically depends on following factors:-
What is the return on Investment on Tax Software?
How compatible your tax software is with your need?
What are the factors compelling you to look for a change in the software?
Most of the tax practitioners want software which comes at reasonable price with other added benefits which may help them to prepare the tax in faster and easier way. CCH has come up with ATX tax software which serves all the purpose of a tax preparer. ATX tax software has target clients of small and medium enterprises like companies of 2 to 4 people to the companies of 20 to 100 clients. Not only the price but ATX comes up with the other integrations as it is pretty much compatible with the add-ons like Fixed Asset Manager helping one to calculate the depreciation on fixed assets. ATX Tax software is also compatible to the add-on options like Ohio Cities package. ATX Tax software also provide scan and flow option to scan W2, 8879s, 1099 etc to provide paperless integration. As specified by CCH that client write up product is also available in the Spanish language. Other features like print to document manager which saves the document as PDF and e-filing facility to make it really desirable.
Apart from that ATX tax software is also compatible with cloud computing or should we say application hosting. Tax practitioner can go for ATX software hosting which enables them to work from any computer across the globe with an internet connection as application is hosted on Terminal Servers. So no worries if the person is required to go for unavoidable visit. Hosting improves the data security features of ATX software tremendously as people can access it on a virtual desktop only with the help of user ID and password. That means Tax preparer can now focus on his core area rather than worrying about the data security. Application hosting service provider provides free data backup for last 30 days that means no worries of disaster on a local system as the work done by the user is safe. In case of any trouble while working on terminal server. Just like ATX software, hosting services are quite cheap and one can avail them on monthly basis.
So, we can say that combination of ATX tax software with application hosting is really useful for those tax preparers who are looking for cheaper but faster and smarter tax preparation software.
