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.

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.

Deceptive trade practice Deceptive trade practice. False advertising. For a simple W2 and 1099-INT, they started my return for free and later imposed use of a higher software version and tried to milk $110 for a simple W2 and 1099-INT. Please stop cheating public like this

I have been using them for years I have been using them for years. But the fees are getting out of control. And I'm not paying any more. I'm going to try another tax prep next year.
