I have evaluated most of the professional tax prep software on the market, and they all obviously have their pros and cons. Right now, my ideal tax prep software would be a merger of UT and Lacerte. Lacerte includes and can handle in greater detail some things than UT, but is also more generic in others. UT has a vastly superior asset module and includes support for forms such as a PT-100 (South Carolina's business property return, not available in Lacerte and most other programs I have looked at). Lacerte calculates things very quickly, UT is very slow (AND, I can enter all 9s for the tax ID to do calculations and view ALL forms before having to obtain a license--I remain on REP, so it is a nice feature compared to limited access via UT, and UT will not show me calculations until after the license is acquired). I still look back at UT for various reasons, or if it is prior to 2019, will use UT for the tax prep, but I am just stunned at how much faster Lacerte is...I always knew UT seemed slow, but never knew just how slow it was until this year.
