Intuit is offering users of its Lacerte and Pro Series tax preparation software a free seven-day trial of the company's new ProLine Tax Research. The trial is available to users by opening their tax software and downloading an update, which adds a tab to the software "Tax Research Powered by BNA".

The regular pricing is $849 for an unlimited use annual subscription. It is also available for $19.95 on a pay-per-use basis. Updates are automatically provided to subscribers via the Web. The system offers what Intuit calls "Google-like" searches  and it has audit trail capability.
