Intuit Lists Tax Software Updates

 Intuit has published a list of new features for its ProConnect TaxOnline, Lacerte and ProSeries software.

 All three feature eSignature improvements, including what the company calls Improved Account Management that it says makes new user onboarding simple and easy for current users

There is also a new billing profile for ProSeries and Lacerte with each of the tax packages, Intuit eSignature, and Tax Scan and Import consolidated into a single wallet, meaning users will not have to re-enter information with each purchase.

Another feature Intuit says is coming soon for ProSeries and Lacerte is tax accuracy notifications. Users of those products can receive notifications about returns that were “affected by tax law or other changes after you filed them and what to do next.”
