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.

GBNot 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.

GBI 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.

GBLike 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.

GBThis 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.
