GBBig Ups to Drake I don't know if anybody could have convinced me that 31 years after trying Drake Software, I'd STILL be using it, but that's the way it is. THIRTY-ONE YEARS, and over 20,000 tax returns!!!! And oh, the customer service? Drake's customer service has built an 'expect nothing less than the best' reputation, and the various surveys of tax professionals certainly attest to that. ...gotta go now. I'm about to solve yet another client's tax puzzle with the best tax software of all time. ...OF ALL TIME!!!

GBDrake is overall a great tax product Drake is overall a great tax product. Easy to use and proforma prior year data for use with the current year return. This year the QBI section for K-1's seemed to give our preparers a little more trouble with it being listed separately from each K-1. Would like to see options to link 1099-NEC's/MISC directly from the Schedule's C, E and F to make sure preparers utilize those forms (like the 99G and PATR on Schedule F). With this difficult year of changes and all that the programmers had to deal with, Drake was great on getting the software updated timely and working to keep up with our ever changing government regulations

GBWe appreciate the software team We appreciate the software team. In particular the telephone support team is quick, efficient, personable, and easy to engage in meaningful conversation. They come up with solutions and show their thorough knowledge by doing it quickly. A couple things that would be good: 1. A single button to quickly print the Engagement Letter from the list of returns. 2. Consistent placement of the PRNT and Notes screens across return types. Put them all in miscellaneous or whereever.

GBEveryday updates are annoying I have been using this software for a long time but one thing annoys me the most is they have update EVERYDAY. Looks like they update the software more frequent than the government. I don't think government changes law every day. Also, they don't update automatically, and you have to manually update almost every day otherwise they won't let you use the software. This is very annoying. Otherwise for the price, the software is good.

GB32 years and counting Our company has used Drake Software since 1991—32 years. We have never been disappointed with Drake. As a result of their quality service, Drake has never given us a reason to look at another vendor. Because of their network of skilled tax professionals and their long term involvement in the industry, Drake is forward thinking with their product innovations and enhancements. Drake seems to know what we need to be successful even before we know it ourselves. Having many long time employees, a family atmosphere has developed between Drake Software and our offices. We value this relationship and appreciate that Drake has played in whatever success we have enjoyed.
