TaxWare status of 9.04

2010-07-01 Thread Mike Z
Does anyone actively use TaxWare on 9.04? If so, are you satisfied with it? Since I live in WA state, I would have to charge deistination tax to customers. Can TaxWare properly support WA state? There are 350 different sales tax jurisdictions in WA state, each requiring monthly/quarterly report
