Account Ability

Vorteile

the first task made easier is downloading the data files from the slot accounting system, this was CasinoTrac, and taking the TEXT file and importing the file into Accountbility for W2G. I saw which W2Gs which needed review and the system allowed to view the troublemakers W2G.

Nachteile

Just in general, I dislike tax filings, but after the download, exporting the completed files into a tanad receiving the acceptance notice from EFTPS, I know the job was complete.

Vorteile

The software comes with a suite of tools, functions, and features that are sure to cover all your needs relative to 1099 filing, complete with the ability to e-file using the IRS Fire interface.

Nachteile

It takes some time getting used to every possible tool and feature. Where I only use Account Ability once per year, it can definitely be difficult remembering what to do, even for basic use.

Vorteile

It does everything I need it to do and I feel confident that the compliance requirements are up to date.

Nachteile

In the beginning, it's a bit overwhelming, just like any new software. However, once you know how to navigate and if you follow the instructions....it works like a charm.

Vorteile

The software provides a lot of functionality for 1099 reporting. It is especially useful to us because our accounting software does not allow us to map our expenditure accounts to the various payment types on the 1099misc forms. This creates problems when we issue different types of payments (rents, non-employee compensation) to the same vendor. With accountability, we can customize the 1099 so our reporting of payment types is accurate.

Nachteile

It could be a little more intuitive to use.

Vorteile

We like how easy it is to import tax data and then print tax forms and transmit to the IRS.

Nachteile

The hardest part was learning how to import data the first time I used the product. The learning curve seemed quite steep. I am not a tax professional so it was all foreign to me. However the tech support folks were very helpful and walked me through each step.

Vorteile

Logically structured interfaces with interfaces to import data from our accounting program and easily bring the data into the Account Ability Program where all mission critical activities from W2, CORRECTING W2, 1099, Obamacare data submission, etc., are made possible. They pay attention to details. For example, they have an interface browser available to connect to SSA where your password for SSA is encrypted and saved in the browser interface. There are many more creature features that make the very tedious job an effective process.

Nachteile

My complaints are less with the software than the requirements and definitions of the Government agencies.

Vorteile

The many different tax forms that are available to print. The creation of PDF for archiving.
Customer Support is excellent. The software is very versatile.

Nachteile

There is a learning curve at first, as with any new software but feel it's not a Con.

Vorteile

I use Account Ability for 1094/1095 reporting. The hardest part of this process is the cleanup and Account Ability makes it easy.

Nachteile

There are a fair number of menu clicks to complete a few of the required tasks, but the documentation is great if you follow it.

Vorteile

The software is easy to use without much training. The updates from year to year are easy to see and understand what has been changed.

Nachteile

Filing prior year corrected returns can be a little difficult to use. There are multiple steps to correct the tax form.

Vorteile

We found this software very easy to install and import our Auto/Mate files into to create our W2s, W3 and 1099 misc files for printing and uploading to the appropriate government entities. Last year, we had issues with our file uploading to the state of Wisconsin, and we were able to work with one individual who shepherded us through the fix.

Nachteile

I wish the export of the state file for upload was a smidge simpler.

Vorteile

Software allows us to process all of our 1099's, the software is not very hi-tech however is fairly simple to use and gets the job done in the end.

Nachteile

Creating the mapping excels was challenging at first however once you master your file then it is pretty simple from there. It currently does not recognize that if there is a change in a recipients information to update other records that contain same recipient- that would be ideal.

Vorteile

Easy to navigate, great price and the best support that our office could ask for!

Nachteile

No cons to write about here!! Only pros!

Vorteile

It was super easy to get the information into the software.

Nachteile

I have no complaints. Honestly, it's so easy to use.

Vorteile

The software complies with submitting our W2 to IRS

Nachteile

It was a bit difficult to use initially without the help of customer support

Vorteile

It was so easy to use! Everything is very intuitive and if you are unsure, the customer service will walk you through the issue.

Nachteile

I really can't think of any! If I did have an issue customer service was able to help.

Vorteile

Great customer service! They are always friendly and provide assistance

Nachteile

The cost of this product seemed rather high.

Vorteile

We only use the software for our clients to prepare W-2's and 1099's but I love the ease in setting up new clients and how easy it is to roll the clients every year. Have not used all the features that the software provides but I would recommend it to other Firms.

Nachteile

There is nothing I don't like with the exception of me not taking the time to learn everything I need to when doing something new with the software.

Vorteile

I just want to say the software is wonderful how it connects with the IRS site and the way it makes corrections for the 1095C is amazing. Also, the team of customer service representatives are incredible. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] helped me today correct a 1095 with errors and resend the file they teach and explain as they go along. I really appreciated their wonderful service and help. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] helped me the other day and he went out of his way as well. I couldn't do this without their support.

Nachteile

I like the software. There is nothing that I don't like about it!

Vorteile

Ease of accessing former years, and rolling over information

Nachteile

Pruning corrections on individual forms.

Vorteile

Ease of use. Very user friendly. Don't have to be a "tax accountant" to be able to use it.

Nachteile

I wish you could transfer data from prior years other than just the previous year. Sometimes I would have a 1099 in say 2018 then nothing in 2019 but then again I might for that same person in 2020.

Vorteile

Well I usually use this software for issuing 1099 K to our members and i create W2 for our employees. Customer service is awesome and helps with any question you have regarding this software.

Nachteile

Well is hard to find a Cons beside just the price of the software. My first year when i purchase was way cheaper than what they charge now even for their TIN matching price went up.

Vorteile

My company needs to file 1099-misc, 1099-r, 5498 and w2 forms each year. Account Ability includes all of these forms for one price. I don't need to buy any special forms since Account Ability prints on plain paper and files electronically. The free taxpayer id matching program saved me much time in checking recipient tins.

Nachteile

Getting started was a bit compelling. However, the tech support team was superb and really helpful. I called the toll free support number and spoke with a tech named Rep for more than one hour for free. Rep showed me just how easy the product was. That was my only con.

Vorteile

It's very easy to use and if you have any issues, customer service is very helpful and will walk you through whatever you need. For that reason we have stuck with Account Ability for W-2 processing and filing for years.

Nachteile

The cost is a little higher than we'd like and there is an additional cost to electronically file the W-2s. But I understand that the fees cover the excellent customer service/help.

Vorteile

Software provided navigation to the sites where I needed to file. I didn't have to leave the software to go to the site which was convenient and faster.

Nachteile

First learning the software is a bit challenging. Steps could be a little more detailed keeping a first time clue-less user in mind.

Vorteile

Ease of use, Ability to efile both federall and state

Nachteile

Help could be a little easier to navigate. Would like to be able to download info to excel for records and year to year review.

Vorteile

easy installation features and programs works very efficiently

Nachteile

lack of a link for instructions for corrections or changes to forms
but I called and they helped me right away

Vorteile

The ease in which to process and print the W-2's as well as additional copies.

Nachteile

How long it has taken me to understand exactly how to generate the payroll process. But that is mostly my fault, not the software.

Vorteile

Ease of use and customer service. They go up and beyond to help.

Nachteile

I wish the new releases would come out earlier.

Vorteile

This was the first year I used this software. Once I was able to get through the notes we had from 2011, this was very easy to use. I tried using the help section and it seemed to provide waaayy more information then needed.

Nachteile

When having to label each part of the 1099

Vorteile

This software makes processing 1099s easy. We have multiple entities that we complete 1099s for and this allows for printing of 1099s and submitting to the IRS much simplier.

Nachteile

Web based with a secure log in could be a nice option so that we don't have to involve our IT department in installing software.

Vorteile

This is by far worth every penny we spend on it. My 1099 PATRs are done in 1 day - from start to printing out. The only thing this software does not do is fold and stuff the things!!!

And the IRS Fire System reporting is a breeze with this program.

Nachteile

there are no cons from my end, I have never had a problem that they did not fix.

Vorteile

I liked the ease of use. It's extremely easy to use.

Nachteile

There could be some features that are easier to use, for example, the import process took me a while to figure out. And deleting a record required me to go to a different menu.

Vorteile

Accessibility of tax forms present and previous years.

Nachteile

Mapping but it becomes easier as you use it.

Vorteile

Ease of use year over year, set up is simple, support is wonderful. I highly recommend it. The support team walked me through a mess up and put me on the right track.

Nachteile

can't think of anything that is a drawback from the software

Vorteile

Its really straight forward not much to it not to understand

Nachteile

no cons at all
most issues can be resolved real quick by contacting the support team which then they remote in and take care of it.

Vorteile

It’s a great value - I prepare quite a few 1099’s and I’m able to keep costs down by using a product that allows me to file so many returns for 1 low price

Nachteile

the Size of the window used to enter the data

Vorteile

I liked that I was able to import W2 data from our payroll system into the AccountAbility program.

Nachteile

It was difficult to figure out how to print W2s onto pre-printed W2 forms.

Vorteile

It’s very easy and simple to use. The ability to import the information makes it so simple

Nachteile

Nothing really. Exporting the file but even that is pretty easy

Vorteile

The ease of use. Once you get the mapping down the whole system flows without a problem. Customer service is great at problem solving.

Nachteile

Initially the mapping import tool can be confusing, however, if you take your time it's not to bad

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to use once you have the information imported.

Nachteile

I am not a fan of the mapping tool, I think it is harder to use than it could be.

Vorteile

The Accountability software allows us to easily process our 1099MISC and 3922 forms and create the needed file to upload to the IRS.

Nachteile

It can sometimes be slightly difficult to remember the process from creating the forms from my excel spreadsheet to getting the IRS file created without looking back into the instructions.

Vorteile

When deciding on what software to buy I called the customer service line. I was able to get someone right away and that was the deciding decision on the purchase.

Nachteile

Due to our urgency of needing the software for 1099G's I didn't get time to really learn how to operate it. But with the wonderful customer service this didn't become a con.

Vorteile

All types of tax forms are available and extremely easy to navigate and use.

Nachteile

The mapping feature from your data extract into the software is not overly simple to configure.

Vorteile

The prior years information rolls over from year to year. No need to recreate company information.

Nachteile

I can’t think of anything. This software is the beat!

Vorteile

Great product! Mostly use this to file 1099s. Very easy to use with multiple features!

Nachteile

I am very happy with the software. If anything, a better User Interphase would be preferred, or web based.

Vorteile

The multiple forms I am able to access.

Nachteile

Installation was a little tricky at first.

Vorteile

It's easy to use for preparing 1099s and W-2s, and efiling with the IRS.

Nachteile

All of the features we needed to use worked well. No complaints thus far.

Vorteile

It’s easy to move tax forms from one year to the next.

Nachteile

Sending data to irs can be a little tricky. Because I only do this once a year or you forget how are you supposed to do it.

Vorteile

Ease of use
Creating file for Efiling
Customer Support
Rollover Info from last year

Nachteile

Wish it was for more than one license .

Vorteile

We can import our IRS file from our core system into Account Ability reprint forms and make corrections much easier than using the core system. We have historical information which core does not keep on IRS information.

Nachteile

Corrections can be confusing but I do believe the IRS has something to do about how that works.
