Systems that do not meet requirements often have issues with general system performance (speed) as well as speed transmitting or downloading data—a problem most tax businesses cannot afford during tax season.
ATX has both minimum and recommended system requirements—recommended being the setup for optimum ATX performance. The closer you are to meeting the recommended system requirements, the better the system performance you can expect from ATX.
The ATX System Analysis Tool will scan your system and rate its compatibility with ATX.
Windows XP is no longer supported and ATX cannot be installed on an XP machine.
