Use of software for IHT forms

Quite a random question, but do you use software when preparing IHT400’s or use the HMRC forms?

I use software from One Advanced, formerly called Laserform.

They have a IHT400 + which is very convenient and time-saving. When you complete the various schedules, it then “populates” the figures into the main IHT400. I have never used the HMRC online forms and understand that they do not do this and that you have to input all the figures from the schedules into the main IHT400 but perhaps I am mistaken about this.

We use Exizent for probate and that fills in the IHT400s. Although some of the schedules need some manual adjustment it will flow into the IHT400 and we find it works well.
