As the online software and all your files are password protected, they'll be private unless you choose otherwise and protected from prying eyes. Any truly sensitive data, however — such as credit card data, medical information, or critical organizational secrets — merits additional security.
This type of information shouldn't be stored using online files, and you'll need to take substantial extra steps to secure them — even on your desktop. Microsoft, Google, Zoho, and ThinkFree all have reasonable privacy policies, and certainly aren't going to change or sell your files. However, they do have your data, and it's important to be clear on the details of what they might do with it.
For instance, Google specifically creates a vast data store from their hosted applications that allows them to understand and track Internet activity.
Does that hurt you? Not directly, but some people find the large amount of data Google collects to be unsettling, and are concerned as to what they might do with it in the future.
Depending on your mission and your comfort level, you might opt to use only vendors who pledge, in writing, not to use your data in any way. Lastly, if you think you might need to protect your data from a government subpoena, online office tools are not likely to be the right choice for you. No software vendor will contest a government order to turn your data over. Last but not least, consider what you'll need to do in order to make sure your staff has up-to-date software.
The online tools offer a big advantage in this area — all users automatically get any feature upgrades to the software, and you won't have to do much of anything to keep your team up and running.
Upgrades are generally incremental, so as to not require much new training for your users. If you're using traditional installed office suites, you'll want to make sure you have an upgrade and maintenance plan.
It's important that users receive the relatively frequent incremental releases, as they may patch security holes. That used to mean a labor-intensive process if you have multiple users, but these days, most installed office applications update themselves over the web. It may be more of process to move your office from one version of the software to another. For instance, when Microsoft released Office , with both a new interface and new file format, organizations had a hard decision to make about whether to move to the new version and retrain their staff, or stay with the old version and have more difficulty reading the files created by organizations that had adopted the newer versions.
Online office software isn't likely to completely replace traditional installed office software any time soon. In fact, it's unlikely to make sense to switch an office full of happy Microsoft Office users completely over to an online office suite, given Microsoft's affordable nonprofit pricing. The new Web Apps features even bring the Microsoft Office suite considerably closer to the remote access and collaboration features of a tool like Google Docs.
For small or new organizations, though, the collaboration features and lack of maintenance of an online suite can be a compelling reason to move to online-only apps. In fact, the collaboration features can be useful to many. A number of organizations rely on Microsoft Office for their day-to-day work, but use one of the online tools for documents that require a lot of input from a number of different people.
For instance, here at Idealware, we use Microsoft Office for internal work, but use Google Docs to let reviewers easily see and add. At the end of the day, it likely doesn't make sense to make a firm choice between online and traditionally installed software.
Instead, make a decision about how you're going to support the core day-to-day needs of your users, and then supplement that with additional options as needed. You may be trying to access this site from a secured browser on the server. Please enable scripts and reload this page.

I just purchased Turbotax from Amazon. I was unable to accomplish this even after spending 20 minutes with Amazon support. Way too much trouble!! Premier supposedly does more than Deluxe for those with capital gains and rental property income and expenses. You can start with Deluxe.
If you see you need more, you can upgrade to Premier within the program. First time to your blog thinking about another issue, but happend on to this tax post. The point about maintaining and paying for a computer is not a bad one. You are a business person and are very familiar with your computer and probably have a more sophisticated back up system. It all takes much more time too. Not just a few minutes of installing the software.
I can not imagine going back to installing software on my computer every year. The cost are absolutely not just the cost of the CD or download. Online all my returns are easily accessible and the new tax year, starting and importing is done so quickly. In this case time is money for sure. Look forward to reading many more of your posts.
Hi Harry, my first visit after stumbling on to site. I always use Download or CD preferred for all the reasons you mentioned. Overall, I prefer TaxCut by far. Even worse is lack of decent Next Year Planning. In general, paid reviewers articles regarding tax software is cursuary so? Your review is far better. Two last Cmts: CD is being phased out industry-wide.
State modules that TT others? Provide as downloads are often not product on TT, they can be poor quality and just confuse the unwitting tax preparer. In general, paid reviewers articles regarding tax software is cursuary sp? Internet downloads only in future. Could you elaborate more on your comparison? I also tried this year the free CreditKarma and it was not bad but I was blocked at the end by a limitation of business expenses to only 1 vehicle so had to fall back on TaxAct.
I have the following wishlist after having used TaxAct which keeps getting more expensive without adding any feature or improve ergonomics : 1 Divide browser display area into one part for interview process and the other for the filing form or worksheet as it is getting computed Turbo Tax and Tax Cut have this capability 2 Allow the viewing of 2 or more different pages in different tabs to be able to enter data more consistently.
If you need to do an amended return, Turbotax makes you download an abbreviated version of the desktop version. Many companies these days like to send tax docs out very late and this can require an amended return. Hi Harry, Thanks for your review.
Thank you! Only you can answer that question. Why do they sell a CD product if I need the internet to install it? More importantly, does anyone offer tax software that does NOT require the internet for installation? Andy, I think the answer is simple. How do you make it accurate when a lot of the tax rules and calculations usually are changing past Dec 31st of the previous year? Make people download the most current copy. Otherwise it is way too expensive for any company to keep shipping CDs every time an update is needed.
Also, piracy of the software becomes an issue if anyone can copy and use it. With an online update, I can download the file, turn off internet access, and install the update.
I have a bit more control, or at least I think I do. I took the executable file put it on a thumbdrive, turned off the wifi on my laptop and installed it with no problem. Never saw any part of the software other than that message ie, no activation page. Your email address will not be published.
