Question

Has anyone gotten their 2026 renewal invoice that shows a 54% increase from the price for the 2025 renewal?

I am a small individual practitioner and find it outrageous that their is a 54% increase in my renewal fee from 2025 to 2026. Combine this with what I am sure will be an increase in the Pay-Per-Return and it is almost impossible for me to continue to use this product. Are others having this same issue?

Between ProSeries and QuickBooks I had a massive increase in software costs. Looking for different solutions because I am no longer a “partner” as a ProAdvisor but deep pockets for Intuit. About at the breaking point.

Intuit just rolled out their new format here so I’m sure a lot of Intuit peoples will be reading your posts and I’m almost positive someone from Intuit will respond ---------------------------------- or maybe not.

New format??? They surely aren’t reading the room and complaints and issues have gone up last few years.

What increased for them so much that they have to raise the price of the renewal so high? Is this a message about our continued business?

I feel like they’re pushing Proadvisors out. It concerns me to see popups in the software trying to get the users to use Intuit bookkeeping….what a slap in the face to the person who brought clients to them. The fees increases far outpace the inflation rate. At what point can I not pass those on to my clients? Now, it seems. I keep absorbing the costs and it is making me bitter. Intuit seems to have no problem with accountant and Proadvisor concerns. They’re in their own little bubble and the software just gets more bloated and unstable. I’m talking to other providers. After 25 years I’m just almost done.

I received my renewal and its 23% more than last year. I almost hit the ceiling. The 2024/ 2025 increase was 6%. And in the last 4 years it has gone up 53% in total. This is ridiculous. For a program that does the same thing every year? Where’s the efficiency by intuit? AI can make their annual updates now at a fraction of the cost. it’s time to switch supplier.

How many dollars does 54% represent? How many more returns would you have to prepare to cover it?

it does matter, I saw someone earlier that had a 54% increase but his total was still less than what I pay for the same pacakge….

so many of us are having hard time with sympathy, when youve still got a better deal that many others long term users. I just need to prepare 1 or maybe 2 extra returns to cover my increase, that still seems more affordable than switching to a different program and having to relearn the logistics of using it and and hope that all my client files transferred everything in correctly.

I have used Proseries for over 30 years and am retired and only do 5 individual returns and one partnership return, so on a pay-per-return basis. The partnership has an installment sale and ‘26 will be it’s last year. I tried switching to Proconnect in ‘24, but it couldn’t handle the installment sale properly. After 2 weeks without anyone able to tell me how to input in proconnect to get the correct gain, I gave up and went back to Proseries (which I am very proficient in and have been satisfied with over the years). I recently received my renewal notice with a 50% increase in the Fast Path Services License. Proseries should do a better job of helping long-time loyal customers after they retire, instead of trying to price us out of their product.

Read your comments and thought it was something I wrote and forgot about in my old age. I’m 77 years old now and been a ProSeries user for probably 35 years. Retired and just do a few family freebies and my own … one Form 1065 and three individuals. Just the Fed and state e-filings (NJ and NY) now cost me about $1,000. Then add $740 for Fast Path and the cost is prohibitive. ProConnect is not an option… tried that after I retired and it’s way too cumbersome compared to ProSeries. So I need to find something else.
My only reason for contacting you is to respectfully ask if you would share your findings with me after you do your due diligence for another tax prep software. I will be doing the same on my end and absolutely want a software that will allow the transfer of my 2025 ProSeries data. The only good news is I have plenty of time to find an alternative and then ideally redo my 2025 returns in the new software to facilitate the year to year transfer in the new product. ALSO IF YOU DON’T MIND, CAN I SHARE MY HOME PHONE NUMBER WITH YOU? MUCH EASIER AND QUICKER TO TALK ON THE PHONE COMPARED TO TEXTING BACK AND FORTH. Hope to hear back from you. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing. Because my ‘26 return year for the partnership is the last one, I will bite the bullet one more time and then switch. Over 30 years ago before going to Proseries, I used Turbotax. I believe it is still forms based input (also has a Q&A type of input for the non-tax home user). You are able to file up to 5 returns (I believe there are no additional efiling fees). The first time you install it, it searches your files and will recognize your Proseries returns and transfer name, address, etc., but no carryforwards like assets/depreciation, capital loss, installment sales. If you purchase the one that has business, it can accommodate Schedule C. So, if you are filing pretty simple returns, it is an option. I looked at Drake a few years ago and it says they can transfer Proseries files. They also will allow a free demo so you can try it out with one of your ‘25 clients to see what actually goes over. I’m afraid I can’t offer much more this year, but will have to switch next for the overall cost considerations.

Yes, I only do a few returns and my increase since 2024 is over 58% which is outrageous and state pay per return fees are incredibly high as well. I have been using pro series for probably 30 years now but will have to look for other options….$814 is outrageous unless they take away the pay per return fees.
