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.

I 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.

Evil new podcast ads talk about how much Taxact hates doing taxes whilst being the lobbyists who insist laws exist to make the taxes impossible to do. Evil.

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.

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.
