Tax-return season for fiscal year 2026 is just around the corner, even if you are still working on extended 2025 tax returns. If you are like a lot of accountants, bookkeepers, and tax preparers who use or support QuickBooks Online or Desktop in your practice, you may be experiencing an increase in the number of tax returns you handle as a result of all the tax changes over the past couple of years. In that case September’s QBTalks-Apps show is just what you’ve been looking for.
With that increase in tax return preparation and complexity, it may be time for you to consider a different professional tax preparation software. Insightful Accountant’s Dr. Christine Gervais, Sr. Editor of Tax Practice News, will be joining Murph this month to examine the various tax products offered by Intuit to tax professionals.
Intuit’s ProSeries is a desktop tax software for small to mid-sized firms that support individuals and small businesses. Lacerte is another desktop tax software that is best for larger accounting firms preparing complex returns. ProConnect is Intuit’s cloud-based tax software for accountants.
All three of these tax preparation products offer some form of connectivity with QuickBooks. ProSeries and Lacerte provide various integration methods if you are supporting QuickBooks Desktop clients. If you are supporting QuickBooks Online clients, you should think about ProConnect tax with connectivity to QuickBooks Online Accountant and the new Intuit Accountant Suite. In fact, ProConnect tax will soon be ‘integrated’ directly inside Intuit Accountant Suite for IAS users.
Whereas you might spend 3 or more hours getting a sales pitch on each of these tax offerings before learning which one is right for you, by the end of this webinar you should have a clear picture of the best solution for your practice situation.

If you are looking for CPE, you will need to attend a minimum of 50 minutes of the 1-hour webinar and complete a minimum of three (3) CPE polling questions based on the following CPE learning objectives.
