I've used ProFX for many years (decades) for individual returns only. I love the software and support but the cost increases have been unrelenting and it's total cost is way too much for me as I do not do a volume of personals over which to spread the cost. My volume is too low to absorb the cost profitably and too much to switch to a pay-per-return basis.
I'm considering a switch to Drake for individual returns. The cost savings of an UT or Lacerte wouldn't make the change worthwhile. I would appreciate any experiences with Drake and particularly anyone who switched from FX to Drake. FX has a robust e-file system which displays the Federal and State refund/balance due for a return to be e-filed and gives me several bites at the apple before I actually e-file a return. I would be concerned if Drake's e-file method was not as forgiving.
Any thoughts about switching to Drake would be sincerely appreciated as the thought of a transiton is worrisome. All I've ever used in my practice is Andersen's A+ and then ProSystem FX. I'm not one to change software but I think the time has come to switch.
