"Crashing Issues, Unresolved for Weeks"
What do you like best about UltraTax CS?

At the moment, nothing, because it is crashing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UltraTax CS?

I'm really frustrated with UltraTax CS. Right now, it's not working at all for me. My tax professional is having issues because when she tries to open my estate tax, the system crashes. This has been a problem for two weeks and still isn't resolved, so I can't say anything positive about it. There should be a high priority on fixing bugs like these, and it should be resolved within 24 to 48 hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
