I used this awful company for trust… I used this awful company for trust account. I had one question and was told that I would have to pay to get help. When I talked to a person on the phone they said they had no idea, and no one would know the answer. When I tried to get my money back they would not refund it because I had already printed it out. I explained that it was trash, that they could not answer the question when they claim that they assist with trusts and then no one knew the answer. Be careful with this company. When I called HR Block the advisor told me that they have had many customers go to them because the software interface was junk, and I have to agree. I do my personal taxes on freetaxusa and it is quick and easy and free.

This company is completely unethical This company is completely unethical. They scammed me this year with a bogus “coupon” that ended up costing me twice as much as the basic service would have cost. To revert to regular pricing though, I would have had to go back and start the return from scratch. There’s also another “small print” scam waiting for unwary purchasers. They give you what looks like an option to pay for the tax prep out of your refund. But, that actually means you’re applying for a refund anticipation loan, so you’ll end up paying fees and interest on top of their fees. Stay far, far away from this company.

Pick a different one I've been using Taxact yearly for quite awhile. Going to switch next year even though that's quite a hassle. The price isn't worth the never ever updated product. Taxact is NOT intuitive at all. Everything is complicated and unhelpful. The program is outdated and expensive for the lack of updates. It's no longer the cheap alternative to expensive tax programs. Avoid it.

I PAID $40 FOR NOTHING What a horrible company. I filed a 2023 return for my teenage daughter. Taxact convinced me I needed to pay $40 to e-file. It sounded easy enough. After they took my money, they told me the return wasn't eligible for e-file. I called customer support but they denied my refund request. I paid $40 for NOTHING. Stay away from these guys.

Bait & Switch - FEE SCAM I have been using TaxAct for years. I have usually taken advantage of their Black Friday or Christmastime offers, where you can lock in a cheap price, to be paid later on, when you are ready to file. In fact they specifically promoted this on their own website, this is exact text I copied from TaxAct's site just now - "Price Lock Guarantee Puts an End to Bait and Switch TaxAct's Price Lock Guarantee is a prime example of the company's commitment not to play "bait and switch." Customers using any online TaxAct product always pay the price listed for that product at the time they started their return, no matter when they file." Well, well, well, they will probably take down this text when they see my review, because this must be a few years old. In 2024, they have a new practice - BAIT AND SWITCH IN EXACTLY THE WAY THEY PROMISED NOT TO DO. I signed up and "locked in" a price of $12.50 federal + $22.50 state back in December....and tonight, the day taxes are due - and of course it is too close to the deadline for me to abandon them and use a different provider -- they ended up charging me $80 in total. I called to complain and a sad, exasperated helpless woman on the phone says "I was told to tell people there is no price lock guarantee." She literally said that. "Did you pay in December?" (Well, no, of course not, you only pay when you file, and nobody has any of the forms or information to actually file in December yet.). So she says "right, well, you did get the 50% off. Our email says that prices can change at any time." So I got "50% off" a jacked up 4x base fee. I'm going to do a chargeback with Amex, and file complaints with the FTC and the IRS. This is outrageous. DO NOT USE TAXACT. Also the website is pretty bad, they used to have a ton of helpful features which they actually removed, because they are trying to upsell all of the "tips" and instructions for an additional fee. Disgusting money grab.
