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.

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 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.

Like 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.

be careful with this company I complete my 2023 return and they tell you on the site that I have to pay for e-file after a paid when I send the file it was rejected and I have to do it again to correct my AGI from last year. In the website they inform me that I have to pay again but that my credit card will not be charge twice. Well it ended that they charge my card three times and I have to call the bank to dispute the transactions so be careful they do charge you again if you have to resend the income tax. They lie showing that they will not charge you twice, they do I have proof.
