"Many of our clients see the advantages of a paperless environment, so if a client is in Taiwan and needs access to income tax returns, or any information, all he needs is an internet connection, versus dealing with time differences and faxes. It's totally under our control and easy."

-- Charles Z. Tzinberg Glen Carbon, IL, Accounting Today

Thomson Tax & Accounting products are designed for professional production work. Our system requirements are based on the assumption that professional accounting firms replace their computer hardware and operating systems approximately every three years.

While our products may operate on less powerful hardware and operating systems, we do not believe it will perform at a level suitable for production work in those environments. Of course, as processing speed and RAM are increased, software performance will also improve.

We recommend workstation class computers, which generally offer higher levels of performance than desktop models when running business applications.
