GBEveryday updates are annoying I have been using this software for a long time but one thing annoys me the most is they have update EVERYDAY. Looks like they update the software more frequent than the government. I don't think government changes law every day. Also, they don't update automatically, and you have to manually update almost every day otherwise they won't let you use the software. This is very annoying. Otherwise for the price, the software is good.

GBI've been using Drake since 2015 I've been using Drake since 2015. I find the product pretty solid. The support is great. The only weakness is in Ohio cities', which is found with all tax software. The changes just prior and during the 2022 filing season have been cumbersome. I am glad the different sign-ons have been consolidated but the instructions on the resulting screens are unhelpful.

GBPathetic support I absolutely agree with a previous review about horrible support and rude people. It is clear to me, after being a customer for the past 16 years or so, that the last couple of years has shown a steep decline in support. They have increased their fee by 50% since 2020. Not a great trend, higher prices for a lesser product and bad support. They like to blame the states for e-filing issues, but I caught them in a lie today. I'm done after 2023 season.

GBNo email communication I've been using Drake Tax and Drake Payroll for a while now. The Software itself isn't bad but my issue is with IRS rejected filings. Drake wouldn't notify the tax preparer that a return has been rejected. Drake does receive the status update from the IRS but it won't send an email to the tax preparer to notify them as such. This software isn't cheap but it's basically useless in these type of situations. This causes so much grief to resolve the issues once discovered.

GBDrake Customer since 1985 and still going... We've been using Drake Software since 1985 and have always been very pleased with the accuracy, ease of use, and wonderful options given to us by the company. Support is great, and the company listens when we ask for additions or changes that help us in our business. The tax planner is such a helpful tool to help clients prepare for the next year or give them several scenarios for making decisions. Drake Software helps us provide a wonderful service for our clients at an affordable cost. Highly recommend!
