Windows professional tax software

I'm a cpa and would really like to leave the PC world. Currently there are no professional tax software for Apples. Just curious if any one out there would be apprehensive about running my windows tax software on an Apple using Boot camp. Obviously during tax season this software is critical and can't really tolerate any issues. Any suggestions relating to this issue would be appreciated

Csound1,
It's true what you say and I agree, however, I have been running Windows 7 via Parallels 6 on my MBP running Snow Leopard to get to my TaxACT Preparers Edition (professional tax prep software). The boot time for Windows 7 is lengthy by normal standards and it's this booting time that I would like to avoid.
As far as stability goes I haven't had any issues. Printing, internet and everything else works just fine when operating in the Windows world.
Still relish the day when I see a company develop professional tax prep software for the Mac.

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

Transfer tax software from windows to mac?

Hello,
I bought H&R block tax software on Dell's software site, I made sure that the software was Mac compatible. When I went to download the software, I found out that it could not downloaded on a mac:( Others had success downloading it to a windows machine and then just transferring it to the mac. I transferred the zip file to the mac and tried to open it with no success, it just had a text box with a bunch of jibberish on it. I opened the zip file on the windows machine and tranferred the unzipped program to the mac, but same thing happened. The program only has a .exe file, don't I need to find a .dmg file? I assumed that when I unzipped it their would be a .exe and a .dmg, but it is not so. Anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Jeff

If you got a .exe file, that is the Windows version of the software. You'll need to contact whoever you bought it from about downloading the Mac version.

A ZIP file that contains a .EXE file is Windows software. I would suggest contacting the seller of the software for their help in providing you with a Mac version.

Are there any professional tax preparation programs available for Mac?

After seeing how much I love my Intel iMac, my dad really wants one. He does book keeping and tax preparation for his clients from home, so he would need some type of tax software that would work with a mac.
Keep in mind, he would need professional level software, like Taxwise. Home tax programs like Turbo Tax or Quicken wouldn't work. He needs software for e-filing, form generation, refund loans, etc.
Do you guys know of any?

What is the best Business tax software to use on MACs

What is the best Business tax software to use on MACs?

Get rid of Norton a/k/a Symantec. It is one of the worst pieces of trash you can install on a Mac.
You do not need any additional anti-virus software than is already designed into OS X to protect your Mac against malware. I assume you paid enough for your iMac and that's part of what you paid.
If you use Windows, or are concerned about harboring viruses that target Windows, or care about friends who use Windows, then get ClamXav. It's in the App Store and it is free.
Since friends don't let friends use Windows, I have no use for it.

Corporate tax software

I have a small corporation and I'm trying to find tax software specifically for the Mac. Turbo Tax has compatible software for everything but corporations which is PC only. Anyone know of an alternate tax software program?

For a corporation, install Windows and run TT's corporate version. The cost should be a business expense. Additionally,voice your concerns at http://turbotax.intuit.com/support/

Business Tax Software?

Greetings! I am having a difficult time finding business tax softare for my Partnership (filing Form 1065) that runs on the Max OS platform! This is my first year with my Mac and I didn't have any idea there would be such a deficiency in business tax software for the Mac! Intuit's TurboTax for Business which I have used in the past, for some unknown reason, is ONLY available in the Win version. Ugh. Does anybody have any ideas or solutions on this problem??
Thanks & God Bless!
Rick

Hi, Rick.
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any Mac-native software that will address your issue. You might want to convey your concern here to Intuit since they're missing the "switcher" business by only offering Windows versions of their business tax software.
Since you have an Intel-based Mac, you can run Windows XP on it using either or both of the following approaches:
• Apple's Boot Camp Public Beta;
• Parallels Desktop for Mac
along with with a copy of Windows XP. You should then be able to run the Windows version of TurboTax with which you are familiar.
The key difference between these is that Boot Camp requires you startup in either WIndows or Mac OS X: you can only run one OS at a time. Parallels Desktop lets you run Mac OS X and Windows simultaneously.
Both approaches have straightforward installation instructions. If I were in your position, I'd opt for Parallels Desktop given the ability to with with both operating systems simultaneously.
Good luck!

Is there a tax software for trust returns (Form 1041)

Does anyone know of a tax software product that runs on a mac and can handle trust tax returns (Form 1041)? TurboTax Business will only run on a Windows machine.

Thanks George. This is very useful, and it works.
Is it possible that I use cmd line parameter to disable plug-ins, such as "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe disablePlugins".

Inconsistency in /422- Professiona Tax

Hi
To meet some requirement of additional deduction of Professional Tax, we have creted a wage type by coping the wage type MP00. It was grouped in Additonal payments.Wrote a rule to add the amount entered in the wage type to /3p1, /422 and /424. Ran the payroll. in the current month the amount got deducted and effected for net pay. Checked the log. /422 has updated with the amount entered in the new wage type created for p tax adjustments. Checked the Form16 there also Tax on employment has shown including the amount entered through the wage type. Coming to next month ran the payroll. Checked the log and observed the wage type /422 is not showing correct amount. Not considered the amount which was entered for P Tax adjustments last month. This was resulting in the Income tax calculations. In the Form 16 exemption of Tax on Employment is not showing correct values.
What will be the reason for not considering the p tax adjustment amount.
Request to help in solving the issue
Thanks
EKP Yadav

Hi,
/3P3 is the cumulative wage type of monthly Ptax whereas /3P1 is wage type for the split ptax. Hence /3P3 is the sum of all the splits of /3P1 for the particular period. Because of this, computation of /422 is based on the CRT value of /3P3 and not of /3P1.
Modify your PCR and try to push the cumulative amount into /3P3 as well.
Let me know if it work.

Windows 8.1 SOFTWARE registry hive load failed on Windows Server 2012

Hello,
I am participated in custom Windwows Software backup/restore project development that requires load of Windows SOFTWARE/SYSTEM registry hives from target OS system drive connected to Windows system.
On all Windows version except Windows 8.1 program works correctly but when host system (on that programm run on) is Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8 and target system is Windows 8.1 registry hive load failed with following error:
Failed to load f:\Windows\System32\config\software: [1009] The configuration registry database is corrupt.
After run of 'chkdsk /r' error still remained. All requred security privileges (SE_BACKUP, SE_RESTORE) are applied. All systems are 64-bit.
Generally even system registry editor (regedit) could not open SOFTWARE hive from Windows 8.1 with following error:
Cannot Load f:\Windows\System32\config\software: Error while loading hive.
But when host system is Windows 7 or Windwos Server 2008 then SOFTWARE hive loaded without any problem.
So is there some Windows 8/8.1 registry hives validation mechanism or additional security checks tha prevents load of registry hives fromother OS instance?

Sorry for later response. I was busy with other tasks.
The procMon tool shows RegLoadKey is failed when it tried to load the hive on Windows 8.1 (8.1 based WinPE also). On Windows 7, I didn't see the error (Shows Success instead of REGISTRY CORRUPT). Once the hive is load & unloaded on Windows 7 OS, the
check sum of the hive is changed, and I can load the updated hive with regedit in Windows 8.1 OS.
