1. do I have to download a software to file a return or can I file it online? 2. can I file a 1120-F return on Lacerte? 3. I'm a tax staff of a multinational corporation, and we have around 10 foreign companies that have parent-subsidiary relationship and are all subject to 1120-F. On this occasion, how much does it cost to file 1120-F returns for FY2025 for all these 10 companies? If we have 2 people filing all 10 returns, what is the most cost-effective purchase solution? Thanks in advance!

Your more cost effective choice would be the online equivalent (sort of) of Lacerte. All cloud based. Check out https://accountants.intuit.com/tax-software/tax-online/ Click on the ORANGE Try it Free to give it whirl. You can do everything, except pay if you do the input and use Check Return to see the results. You must pay if you want to e-file or print. Does your firm have an EFIN? That is required to do the e-file.

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

Thank you for your reply. We'd like to make some comparison between Lacerte and ProConnect, so it would be highly appreciated if you could answer my 2nd and 3rd qestions.

I think the cheapest Lacerte option is the $499 "on sale now" FastPath license - per Preparer- and then pay $140 per return.
