Brevitax Pro or IRS Solutions: which fits one practitioner?
Short answer
Brevitax Pro is the better fit for a solo practitioner who wants the software to carry more of each case, at $948 a year versus $1,890 for IRS Solutions’ annual solo plan. IRS Solutions is the better fit if transcript change alerts on an existing book are your main way to find new cases.

Where do Brevitax Pro and IRS Solutions differ most?
The two tools agree on the first step: get authorization and pull every transcript automatically. They differ on what happens next. IRS Solutions gives you the analysis and leaves strategy to you. Brevitax describes reading program eligibility from transcript data and carrying it into a plan, forms, and a Work Verification record.
Two cost details separate them at one user. IRS Solutions includes five e-signatures and sells more in bundles at $1 to $2 each; Brevitax meters e-sign only when used. IRS Solutions has no free trial and offers a 60-day refund on a first annual plan.
