Generally straightforward to use. It used to be that there was significant cost savings compared to competitors like TurboTax, but that has completely gone away. The only thing keeping me there is the ease of porting from previous returns.

TaxAct made a mistake on my 2020 return. The refund they calculated on my 1040 Schedule A was adjusted by $548.17 from the IRS. I got a letter from the IRS saying my refund was adjusted and the possible errors. I don't understand the error and TaxAct is not helping. Their only response is to contact the IRS. Don't they have 100% accuracy guarantee? That's only if they take your phone call!

I've been using TurboTax for 20 years. I tried another service and quit halfway through and finished with Turbo Tax. I'll be using it til the end of my days. Their website guides you through the whole process and you can access help from customer service really quick and easy.

I used their online service and They messed it up badly. I don't like the way they have it set up and i don't like how they make you pay for it up front instead of letting you pay via refund. Never will I ever use TurboTax again...
The Final Word
As simple and affordable ways for people to file their federal and state returns, TaxAct and TurboTax are both strong solutions.
TaxAct is easy to use, and it guarantees that you do not forget anything thanks to the mini-alert system. It has a long list of accuracy tools to ensure the best results, and it even offers up a maximum refund guarantee.
Ultimately, we recommend TurboTax due to the deductions that it recommends automatically as well as the accuracy of its software, even if prices may be slightly higher.
