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 The program is outdated and expensive for the lack of updates.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.

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.

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.

Like any tax prep software they leave the gotcha at the end I started out using their free file option. Only once I completed everything and got to the end did it say I didn't qualify. Instead it could have told me certain deductions/credits I was filling out AT THAT TIME would make me not eligible. Waste of time and money.

Never again I've used TaxAct for many many years. For the first time, I had a bad experience. I live in New Hampshire, where there's no state tax, however, when I submitted my federal return, they also submitted my non-existent state return. They charged me $69.99 for the federal return, and $59.99 for the state return. I called customer service and asked them to refund me the $59.99. They only refunded $11.99 because it was already submitted to the IRS. If someone doesn't have to file a state tax return, why do they still submit it?! It seems very scammy to me. I'm leaving TaxAct and will be using a different software in the future.
