GBI 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.

GBI 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.

GBI used taxact many years ago and it… I used taxact many years ago and it worked fine. And this year (for tax year 2023) I paid $80 to file for my father, who got a couple 1042-S forms. All the gross income I put in on the 10420-S forms are not reflected at all in the final electronic filing, and the return was rejected by IRS immediately. I triple, yes triple checked everything and there's no mis-typing or anything, and the gross income just does not reflect on the return at all. I called TaxAct and basically what I got is "please pay us another $40 to use our expert help to fix the issue", what? I have to pay more in order to fix TaxAct issues?? Okay see you no more.

GBI 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.

GBBeen using them for a long time Been using them for a long time. Never again. $50 to "e-file" was always free. Don't use them. Go with another company,
