Drake user for 25+ years. As a Drake user for 25+ years I would never think of changing software. One of Drake's main features is their support. Usually someone answers on the second ring and you are talking to a live person who speaks english. If the person who answers can't help they immediately transfer you to someone else who can. The other good thing about Drake is they are family owned and they take suggestions from tax practioners about improving the software seriously. Software is reasonably priced and handles all type return.

Drake is overall a great tax product Drake is overall a great tax product. Easy to use and proforma prior year data for use with the current year return. This year the QBI section for K-1's seemed to give our preparers a little more trouble with it being listed separately from each K-1. Would like to see options to link 1099-NEC's/MISC directly from the Schedule's C, E and F to make sure preparers utilize those forms (like the 99G and PATR on Schedule F). With this difficult year of changes and all that the programmers had to deal with, Drake was great on getting the software updated timely and working to keep up with our ever changing government regulations

Pathetic 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.

Drake Portals auto logout time This is not about the Drake Tax, but Drake Portal. can you please extend the auto logout time!!!! It is ridiculously short. I cannot even go back and forth between it and Drake Tax working on a retrun only to come back and have to log back in. It is shorter than any bank login or any other application I work with . IT IS EVEN SHORTER THAN DRAKE TAX AUTO LOGOUT. What the heck are they tryng to accomplish other than aggragvate the user into finding a differnt solution?

32 years and counting Our company has used Drake Software since 1991—32 years. We have never been disappointed with Drake. As a result of their quality service, Drake has never given us a reason to look at another vendor. Because of their network of skilled tax professionals and their long term involvement in the industry, Drake is forward thinking with their product innovations and enhancements. Drake seems to know what we need to be successful even before we know it ourselves. Having many long time employees, a family atmosphere has developed between Drake Software and our offices. We value this relationship and appreciate that Drake has played in whatever success we have enjoyed.
