### "taxyuser"

November 11, 2021

5.0

Overall its a very useful tool. when using i feel comfortable amount receiving a maximum refund. offers tools to help you achieve desired results.

Pros

its ease of use, can perform practically every calculation relating to tax filing. it offers explanations for various forms if needed. It offers a free federal option for filers, which pends on the difficulty of your filing situation.

Cons

can't think of any cons at the moment. Although not needed, there is no refund advance, you have to wait to receive from the government. Of course, the more complex your tax filing is, the more you are charged for filing. I guess that's with most tax software.

### "Been using this for years!"

March 26, 2021

5.0

I’ve had success using it and it’s made doing taxes each year much easier.

Pros

It is efficient and easy to get my taxes done and submitted.

Cons

I forget my password after a year, don’t remember where I put it. So I need to usually reset password each year.

### "Do it yourself with TaxAct"

December 31, 2022

4.0

Pros

Since my tax filing is pretty straight forward, it's cheaper for me to use this product to do my own taxes than to drive somewhere to have someone else do it for me. Instructions are simple and very easy to follow. And my copies are stored electronically in my account if I ever lose my printed copy.

Cons

Since I don't utilize all the features of the product, it is a little expensive for basic business users.

### "Tax act makes my taxes a breeze"

December 6, 2019

5.0

Pros

It makes doing the company taxes a breeze. Before we had to pay an accountant but now I'm able to do our taxes saving the company money which is a plus all around. It's an easy software program to set up and even easier to do taxes. It makes setting up new employee tax information a breeze and monthly payroll couldn't be easier

Cons

It lagged a little after the latest upgrade but other than that it's great

### "Affordable but doesn’t offer as many extra features as its competitors"

April 19, 2018

3.0

Pros

TaxAct software is comparatively easy to use, with pricing that compares well with most of the other available software. Unlike Turbo Tax and H&R Block, it can’t import W-2 automatically due to which it takes time to file the return. Tax Act is relatively less expensive. The interface is simple and navigation is relatively easy. Tax Act allows you to import a previous year’s return, which saves some time as individual do not have to enter all your personal information. It also allows you to pay your filing fee with your refund. Review and alerts are also available in this software before finalizing of returns.

Cons

The lack of a W-2 import is disappointing. Being able to upload your income information saves time and prevents errors from manual entry. It also lacks good customer support.

### "Easy to use, price just went up."

March 5, 2018

4.0

Pros

It's easy to use. Customer support is very helpful. Once you gather all your tax papers, the app leads you with questions to fill out your tax forms easily.

Cons

Time spent waiting for customer support is sometimes up to an hour. They just raised the price for the state returns .

### "This Tax Software Saved me! "

October 26, 2019

5.0

Overall, I had a good experience with tax Act, and I was able to successfully file my taxes.

Pros

I love the ease of use of Tax Act business, and the way it intuitively helps tax prepares with the whole income tax prep process. It does this by providing explanations for complex terms, providing money saving suggestions, and providing alerts when it detects information may contains errors.

Cons

The aspect I liked least was the cost for State filings - federal filings were affordable however I felt that the state filing prices were over priced.

### "Good tax service"

December 5, 2019

5.0

For the money it is a high quality product but other competition my be easier to use.

Pros

This site allows you to do annual taxes without the need of a CPA. It walks you through step by step on items you may need to enter.

Cons

It is not as user friendly as some other options such as taxslayer and TurboTax. It is a cheaper option though.

### "Don't give the IRS a dime more than it requires. "

July 29, 2021

5.0

Great program to do an unpleasant task.

Pros

No one likes to pay the tax dude. This program makes it easier to do a task every business hates to do. At least it is a little less painful due to this easy-to-use program.

Cons

It is easy to use and the program is helpful. Data entry is easy but no one likes to do it. Dan

### "Did the job"

April 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

I found it to be a friendly app, clean layout, organized questions, and overall offers many features.

Cons

I really didn't use it enough to determine what cons there are. There is a cost associated so, I advise to review a couple of tax apps and determine what works best for your environment.

Used id for personal and small business. Had problem electronically submitting to IRS. In fact, the TaxAct indicated that it was submitted, but later I got the request from IRS to submit it by paper.
