Pros

  • Paying more money will save you time in the long run.

  • Drake Tax is easy to implement, user friendly, and very cost effective.

Cons

  • Navigation is cumbersome with multiple inputs needed for some tasks and other screens are hidden and have to be searched for so entries can be made and then some of the input screens are very limited.

  • The sales person pulled a bait and switch telling me that payroll products were included for a flat fee and then charged me for the payroll product and told me she made a mistake.

"Wouldn't Use Again "

Overall: Started off working well but went downhill in the last few years. Too many updates as well.

Pros: I had used for 14 years. If you have simple returns to prepare, it might be OK. Otherwise, look elsewhere. Paying more money will save you time in the long run. Too many boxes to check, details to check.

Cons: Business returns had balance sheet errors, M1 errors, depreciation errors, errors on the sale of an asset.

"AVOID Drake"

Overall: Unpleasant, I was falsely told that I had more time to evaluate the product after purchase then I actually did so when I asked for a refund (no returns were filed) I was denied. Basically I was stuck paying for a cheap, inefficient program I won't use that would have cost me much more time to make sure everything was calculating right. Very disappointed.

Pros: Cost is the only pro for the program. I find the low cost doesn't make up for the shortcomings.

Cons: Navigation is cumbersome with multiple inputs needed for some tasks and other screens are hidden and have to be searched for so entries can be made and then some of the input screens are very limited. The program is quirky and inconsistent which did not lend itself to confidence in it and the interface was not efficient except for the most basic of returns. Some may find the shortcomings acceptable for a higher profit margin but I do not.

Reasons for Choosing Drake Tax: Cost and positive reviews by others. Now I want to warn others.
Reasons for Switching to Drake Tax: I was hoping to save money and get good customer service. I have lost money due to the lack of a refund from Drake as I went went back to Lacerte which is reliable and much more efficient. Yes it costs more but part of the added cost is surely made up in efficiency and not needing to double the check the software so much.
