Three Levels to Fit Your Needs!
With Tax Preparer, you don't have to pay for what you don't need because we offer three
levels of capability for all our tax software:
- Economy Level for the individual who prepares taxes
only for self and family,
- Standard Level for the sophisticated individual or small tax practice,
and
- Premium Level for the power professional who needs the broadest variety of forms.
The following
chart compares the features of the three levels so that you can intelligently decide which
level is right for you.
