SUMMARY & PRICING

Intuit Tax Research is a perfect fit for users of Intuit’s Lacerte and ProSeries tax products. The research is directly integrated with these products and provides quick and easy access to a quality set of research tools. Also available as a standalone web-based solution, users of other tax software may also benefit from the product, but without the direct integration features. The standalone product may be accessed from any device, including mobile devices. Intuit Tax Research is available for a flat rate of $849 for a 12-month subscription and includes access to all content, including Internal Revenue Code, Court Cases, state code and regulations, BNA analysis, and much more. The license fee is not increased for additional users or use on a network. A pay-per-use option is also available for a fee of $19.95 per use and includes all search results and access to up to four research articles.
