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. Since October 24, 2026 the page shows three: a pay-per-return licence, ProSeries Basic 1040 (twenty 1040 returns) and ProSeries Professional (unlimited 1040s, with individual and business returns). Until October 23 it also showed 1040 Essentials, ProSeries Essentials and a quote-only ProSeries Advanced, with promotional bundle prices beside struck-through list prices.
What to check before you quote a ProSeries price
Struck-through prices sit beside lower promotional prices
Until October 23, 2026 the page offered a percentage off bundles for tax year 2026, showing a lower price with a higher price struck through; StackWatch’s table showed the struck-through figure. Headline prices move when a promotion changes, so ask what you will pay, and what you will renew at, when you buy.
Several prices are “from” prices
The pay-per-return, Basic and Professional 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.
Compare your whole renewal invoice with today’s new-customer price
The prices on Intuit’s page are what a new customer is offered. In 2026 several ProSeries users in Intuit’s Accountants Community reported renewal quotes above the new-customer price shown online, and a higher Fast Path add-on fee on the same invoice; these are user reports, not Intuit list prices. Before you renew, add up the whole invoice (licence, Fast Path or other add-ons, and per-return fees) and compare it with the current published price for the same package and with other vendors’ prices. Drake, for example, says its current prices run through November 30, 2026.

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.
