Bloomberg Tax (formerly BNA) Income Tax Planner with 50 states.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Do you find the feature that allows a transfer of the Lacerte tax return into the Planner to be easy or difficult?

Pretty easy, but you have to tweak the states.

Based on the comments I've seen on this forum over the last couple of weeks, don't use Intuit's new tax planning/advisor program (it seems too limited).

It's not intended for what-if planning - it's intended to suggest what-ifs you may not have thought of.

I have bought CFS. I am trying it for the first time.  Immediate problem:  LC 2021 returns won't import easily into CFS tax tools.

The CFS tax tool tech support I spoke with today said two things: 1) LC has been encrypting data and this had made it more difficult; and 2) LC must implement the file transfer protocols on its side before a transfer can be made.  (One could wonder if this is intentional on Intuit's part.)

If the CSV import method won't work then I'm going to get a refund.

EDIT later:  I looked into this process, and I can tell that the CSV import method takes too much time. I didn't do it.
