An extra $99 a year is causing your "business" to lose money?  If your "business" is not profitable, it seems like you need to make changes to your business or it may be a "hobby".

I agree, I absolutely HATE the "subscription" method and I HATE Intuit, but if an extra $99 is causing you to "lose" money, I think you need to adjust your business practices.

There are many alternative software products to try out.  Drake, ATX, OLTPro, TaxActProfessional, TaxSlayer are among the more common and lower cost products.  But don't mistake "lower cost" as "better for your business". If a software cost less money but takes more time and/or has more problems/errors, it could end up REDUCING your business profit due to more time (for example, being able to prepare fewer returns due to more time to enter things or deal with problems).
