Ease-of-usage, availability of a vast number of forms, and transfer of data within returns are some of the features that make this software fan favorite.

Even though it is one of the most loved tax software in the market at present, there are some limitations in the desktop version of the software which hamper the performance of the tax preparer.

Limitations of ATX Desktop Version:
