"UltraTax CS"

5/5

Ultratax allows us to file tax returns easily, file them directly into FilecabinetCS, or email them directly to the client if needed. We are able to serve clients internationally because of the ability of the program to add foreign returns as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Support has really deteriourated"

0/5

What do you like best about UltraTax CS?

The software is pretty accurate, in general. It is easy to see the effects of your entry on the tax return. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UltraTax CS?

Support this year (TY2016) is HORRIBLE! We left LaCerte because of expense and poor support. Ultratax is now just as expensive and the support is worse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UltraTax CS:

Look somewhere else. 40+ minute wait times trying to get support is unreasonable. They also only take product improvement suggestions via a web interface that has so many things going on your suggestions get lost in the shuffle. I am really getting the sense that they don't care about me at all. Their cost is really high also. We do tax returns for 20+ states and the PRP costs are killing us. The reporting features are also very limiting. I liked TaxWorks reports and customization a lot better. Sometimes find where to enter data is not very intuitive to me. Of course, I have only been using the product for 4 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UltraTax CS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We prepare tax returns for approximately 1000 clients. Doing the typical things works great, but there are some tricky corners in multi-stake returns that we need support on from time to time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Get your tax returns done"

4.5/5

What do you like best about UltraTax CS?

I enjoy the capabilities of UltraTax. Having an import function to automatically transfer over client's trial balance saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UltraTax CS?

I do not like how when exporting to other Thomson Reuters products (i.e. planner cs) the tax return does not always tie out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UltraTax CS:

I would recommend UltraTax as well as other Thomson Reuters products to fully integrate and get the best value out of the product line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UltraTax CS solving and how is that benefiting you?

UltraTax assists our company complete tax returns for our customers in an efficient manner. We find the software to be user friendly as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User Friendly"

4.5/5

What do you like best about UltraTax CS?

The software is updated frequently with the ever changing tax laws. These updates consider the users inputs and seem to work well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UltraTax CS?

You have to use the software almost on a daily basis to keep up with all the changes made during tax season. If you only do one or two tax returns a week it would be tough to keep up with all the different used of Ultra Tax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
