"Intuit Select Pro Staffing"

"Find staff easily with this new outsource provider program. We’ve partnered with credentialed hiring solution providers so you don’t have to."

@IntuitCharlene   I know I can't be the only one curious about your "What's new in ProSeries" post.  Your post said the staffing is credentialed.  What type of credentials do they have?

As a side note, I'm crushed that form 5227 still isn't going to be available. 😦

👍I still think I'm going to do that though. Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow morning at 3:00 a.m. and start. Maybe by lunch time I could have given myself credit for a thousand posts solved.

Here is my analysis of the new features for ProSeries:

 

1) End of support: Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2

 

  • ProSeries is removing support. 

 

2) Hosting onboarding automation enhancements

 

  • Selling us something

 

3) TurboTax Online import

 

  • I'm not really sure if it is an advantage to transfer screwed up entries from TurboTax

 

4) Financial institution download (FIDO) enhancements

 

  • Are they just fixing something that they previously broke?

 

5) Batch eSignature requests

 

  • Maybe a nice feature.  But they are just pushing their additional fees for eSignatures (selling us something).  And of course they increased the cost of eSignatures to accommodate this new feature

 

6) Faster loading

 

  • They are fixing what they broke.

 

7) Quick Employer Forms Accountant

 

  • Selling us something.  And this isn't really a new feature, is it?

 

8 ) Intuit Select Pro Staffing

 

  • Selling us something.

 

9) Workflow enhancement suggestions

 

  • Selling us something.

Yeah, I read through their list and nothing made me stop and say "that's cool" for something that was listed.

Yeah and something else I noticed is that she apparently enters a post, and then apparently responds to her own post, and apparently marks that as a solution, Apparently one after another. Go look for yourself IronMan. Maybe I'll start doing that, and then when I become the top solver here on Pro Series, then I will be crowned King of Pro Series. My ancestor Lajos Von Almassy De Felicz, Royal Counselor to the Habsburg Monarchy, would be so proud. 😉🤔 🤔🤓🤴

They do that so the post gets marked as solved and doesn't end up in the leftovers pile.

@IntuitCharlene  - In case you were testing my memory, I didn't forget that my question wasn't answered.  If Intuit is selling a product, those folks should have a right to know the ingredients of what they are buying.  What credentials are folks getting when they buy a tax preparer from Intuit?  If you want to phone a friend, @1569 can feel free to jump in if she likes.  I realize that at times, my posts are tongue in cheek, but this is a serious question.  There are going to be some folks that are desperate for help and might be tempted to check out Intuit's offering so this really is a valid question.

@IRonMaN  I'm working on getting some details together to answer your question.  https://proconnect.intuit.com/select-pro-staffing has some of the information but not the answer to your specific question. 

**Say "Thanks" by clicking the thumb icon in a post**Mark the post that answers your question by clicking on "Accept as solution" and then just changing the Accept as solution to Mark as Best Answer, mine gets cutoff, so it is too long. I changed mine to the following and it fits. -->**Say "Thanks" by clicking the thumb icon in a post**Click "Mark as Best Answer " to mark the post that answers your question.

Thanks, but that link doesn't really provide any additional details.
