Alternatives to EasyAcct and Information Return System?

Our office has used both EasyAcct and IRS (as well as Lacerte tax software) for 20+ years, but with the continued rising cost and declining product, it's time to start looking for something different and more reliable. Many clients use QuickBooks, but I personally would rather use a professional write-up software to produce financial statements. Wondering what others are/have used and how it might compare to the above Intuit products?

Just can't believe all of the bugs and issues this year trying to print 1099's!

I was thinking on just getting the Write-Up without the information return system and seeing if "Greatland" has anything for the W-2's and 1099's filing. Or just use an online PR service like Patriot for client payrolls. I will be retiring in 4 years so I just am looking for Something to get me there.

Thanks for the reply. We will definitely use something different next year for 1099 preparation/filing. Our office no longer prepares payroll in-house and now refer clients needing that service to use Paychex. We have access to their online account so we can pull reports as needed to prepare financials.

EasyAcct/IRS just seems like its turned into a side project for Intuit to continue an income stream with minimal efforts.

Also an EZ user since it was TASC Force.

Intuit bought them out and I hoped they would integrate the good attributes into their tax package.

No chance, they bought the customer list and tossed the old software. What a waste to not learn from acquired companies.

If no payroll or 1099s needed, Ez would be ageless, right?
