STOA verdict

Intuit ProConnect is best for small accounting firms or solo CPAs who need cloud-based tax prep software they can access from anywhere. The pay-per-return pricing model is a big plus if you have a smaller client load, but costs can add up fast during busy season. If you're not already in the Intuit ecosystem, the learning curve and pricing structure may push you toward competitors like Drake or TaxSlayer Pro.
