I have confirmed with several people at CCH that the 2011 US Master Tax Guide CD will not be compatible with my new Dell 64 bit computers (as was true for 2010). I have heard that they are issuing an internet based version as an alternative but so far this is just a rumor.

I use the CCH US Master Tax Guide religiously. I know I can locate many charts and rates in a split second! I also use it for initial research to guide me on the correct path to finding the answer.
