TaxAct does not e-file for free, despite being an IRS free file partner TaxAct is listed under the IRS trusted partners for free E-filing of your tax return. I fulfilled the criteria for free filing but they still tried to charge me $50 to file the foreign income tax exclusion form, which means it is not a free file program. It is also impossible to delete your account without contacting the company, which is difficult when you are living abroad. Please avoid TaxAct if you are trying to use the IRS free file offer.

"Deluxe" or we don't help you "Pay us for the Deluxe service or else we provide a service less than bare minimum." Terrible greed.

Not much help beyond printing the return I'm amazed that there is no information for where to send your paper tax return for Federal or state. Apparently in September you can't e-file and you have to mail it in. Come on Tax Act, don't make us hunt all over for a mailing address. This is sloppy programming.

I have used TaxAct for 8 yrs I have used TaxAct for 8 yrs. For 2020, they went to zero phone support so they are now stuck with major poor reviews from users who can't check their experience with a support person to validate. For me and my business, their platform cannot provide the flexibility to handle business 1099-INT's correctly so I won't be able to use it again. The form doesn't allow altering the tax ID to the lending business. The result is that interest shows up on the personal Schedule B instead of the business Schedule C.

I have used TaxAct for 6 years - its good I have used TaxAct for 6 years to file our S-Corp returns, and the occasional extension. To go through all the prompts takes time, but in the end, everything was perfect and filed immediately. My son used TurboTax Deluxe for a multiple state tax return, and only one state filed. He just heard from NY and they want him to pay $4K for 2016 (5 years later!)- and 1/2 of that amount is penalties and interest. Now, I know he should have checked to be sure everything went through and the payment actually was taken from his bank account in 2017 when he filed - However . . . I will say that TaxAct has never gotten it wrong for us.
