How ProSeries pricing works
ProSeries is Intuit’s professional tax-preparation software for accounting firms, licensed annually (per tax year) in pay-per-return and unlimited-bundle options.
Annual (tax-year) licences: a pay-per-return option, a Basic tier and unlimited bundles, some of which combine individual and business modules. The page leads with promotional bundle prices and strikes through the list prices. ProSeries Advanced is quoted on request.
What to check before you quote a ProSeries price
Struck-through prices sit beside lower promotional prices
The page banner offers a percentage off bundles for tax year 2026. The bundles show a lower price with a higher price struck through; the page does not call the struck-through figure the list price, and StackWatch’s table shows that figure. Headline prices move when the promotion changes, so ask what you will pay when you buy.
Several prices are “from” prices
The pay-per-return, Basic and 1040 Essentials prices are written as starting prices. Ask for the price that matches your return volume.
One bundle price can cover several products
A bundle can include individual and business modules together, so a single number may stand for several products. Check what a bundle includes before comparing it with single-product prices.
Bank set-up fees are not software prices
Pay-by-Refund bank set-up fees appear on the page. They are bank fees, so leave them out when comparing licences.
What these prices do not include
To keep like-for-like comparisons, this page leaves out:
- ProSeries Advanced (call for pricing)
- Pay-by-Refund bank set-up fees
- Add-on and hosting options
- The free extension-returns offer
ProSeries price history in brief
The ProSeries price history collects 24 dated data points from 9 sources, back to 2016. Tax-software prices are reported by different publishers with different package definitions, so the history page keeps each publisher’s figures in separate tables and does not subtract one from another.
