What's this?

CPA Peeps... just got a call from MyTaxPrep. Any of of you use this?

It looks like it's all in the cloud, which I'm not a fan of using for my clients' tax information. It would save me a BUNCH on software expense, but I'm hung up on cloud security. I pay for Sharefile so my clients can send me information securely. ProSeries has all kinds of security in place to keep that information safe on my hard drive. I'm willing to pay Intuit the premium for that security. I don't know anything about the security of this other outfit.
