What ATX is
ATX is paid tax-preparation software from Wolters Kluwer for federal and state returns. It supports individual filings and business entities including C corporations, S corporations, partnerships, estates, and trusts. Federal and state e-filing are available. ATX 1040, ATX MAX, ATX Total Tax Office, and ATX Advantage each list 75 free e-files and unlimited state individual returns, while excluding three states. ATX 1040 also excludes state business returns. The ATX Pay-Per-Return System lists six individual returns instead. No plan prices are provided. The supplied included-state-return figure is 0.0 returns, so it is separate from the plan descriptions of unlimited state individual returns. ATX is presented through the Wolters Kluwer website for tax professionals choosing among plan structures and return allowances. The plans differ in included e-files, return counts, and stated state coverage.

ATX suits tax professionals preparing individual returns alongside corporate, partnership, estate, or trust filings. It is relevant to preparers comparing bundled e-file allowances with a pay-per-return option.
