How much is ATX software?

Several variables affect the total cost of tax preparation software like ATX. Package tier is primary: the ATX 1040 package covers individual returns only, while ATX MAX includes all federal, state, and business forms. The number of users in your firm scales the license fee; volume discounts often apply for 3+ seats. Renewal cycles, e-filing volume, and optional add-ons (such as advanced practice management modules) also shift the final ATX software fees. Our AI agents can pull the specific line items tied to your firm’s negotiated agreement from the knowledge base, so you see only the numbers that apply to your situation.

Wolters Kluwer publicly offers several ATX product tiers, each with distinct capabilities and price points. Here is a high-level overview based on our most recent procurement records:

• ATX 1040 Package – covers federal and state individual returns. Approximate base price: $900 per license per year.
• ATX MAX – all individual, business, estate, trust, payroll, and tax-exempt returns. Approximate base price: $1,500 per license per year.
• ATX Business – business-only returns (1065, 1120, 1120S) plus states. Approximate base price: $1,200 per license per year.

These figures fluctuate with annual increases and multi-user discounts. To get your exact price, query our knowledge base with your user count. The AI agent responds with the precise ATX pricing embedded in our vendor contract, not a generic estimate.

Our firm’s knowledge base, built with Chatref, contains the actual signed vendor agreements, renewal notices, and internal procurement memos.

This eliminates time spent digging through emails or PDFs and ensures accuracy in budgeting and procurement.

What is included in the ATX software price?

The price typically covers the software license, one user seat, access to all forms in the chosen package, and basic support. E-filing authorization, state modules, and advanced support tiers may be included depending on your package. For a full feature breakdown attached to your specific license, ask our AI agent to retrieve the contract details from the knowledge base.

Are there discounts for ATX software?

Yes. Wolters Kluwer offers volume-based pricing for multi-user firms, early renewal incentives, and occasionally promotional credits for switching from other tax software. Our knowledge base stores our exact discount schedule. Query “ATX multi-user discount” to see the per-seat reduction applicable to your user count, pulled from the current agreement by the AI agent.

How does ATX pricing compare to other tax software?

ATX is generally less expensive than premium suites like UltraTax CS, but more than cloud-native alternatives with lighter form coverage. Our knowledge base includes a comparison chart that the AI agent can surface, showing ATX pricing versus Drake, ProSeries, and UltraTax for our firm’s user count and return mix. For an on-the-spot comparison, just ask our agent: “Show me ATX cost vs Drake for 4 users.”
