No chance of getting last year's AGI with these clowns. Once requested they will send you to a dozen different products for 2023 and will not take you to your original request...ever. Thank goodness for H&R Block seamless system. Taxact sucks
This company needs to be suited they will take your money an not help you file are help on your taxes. Watch what I say tax act count your days we all gonna get ate money back an then some. Y'all gonna be just like turbo tax when they got taken to court!
I used this online and it never showed me the full charge until I halter I had filed the return. It is not free federal filing if you need schedule 2. If you had health insurance through marketplace.gov schedule 2 information is required. So it would be $46.95. That plus $54.95 for state taxes cam to just obver $116. Then AFTER I HAD FILED it said I would be charged and additional amount for handling a bank transfer fees.I had chosen to pay by having it deducted from my return., and it took $172 rom my state return so got less than $10 back. You would be better off buying the software from HR Block or Other company so you know how UCB it will cost you without hidden charges that you can't get out of. Plus there is no online support.
First of all their staff does not know or understand the tax act. Had capital loss and support did not know how to fill in the form.
Second of all, tried to prepare my return beginning of February. The tax forms I needed were not available. Supports answer was they did not know when they would be available. I have to file a foreign return. Cannot do so without my US return. I waited until the middle of March. Forms still not available. At this point went to another provider. Surprise all the forms I needed were available.
Many better providers with better support
Will never use again, after doing my return, which wasn't difficult, made me pay to be able to print it out, I was aware it would cost 46.95 was ok with that. But then to print state forms to mail, charged me another 55.00$! Big ripoff
I filed my taxes with TaxAct, paid $133 thinking I would get assistance if anything went wrong. The IRS rejected my taxes, Federal and State. I think because I got less in my retirement than I got last year or they needed some pin from 2019. I was thinking everything was going smoothly since the site had that I had filed the returns. I went to check the status when no funds were taken expect the $133 I paid them. I had to hunt through the site to find the returns had been rejected... no email, text, not obviously show on the TaxAct site. I tried to contact them and was told the experts were not available at 3:00pm. I requested a refund and without hesitation they said they would give me a refund. They need to take the site down if they can't do any better. Now I am really late and have to take my taxes somewhere else and probably will have to pay, not to mention the problems I now face with the IRS. Don't trust them with your taxes.
I've used TaxAct for several years and it's usually quite good. However, don't believe the emails you receive as a regular customer concerning a 25% discount if you commit to using their product in the upcoming year. They do not honor it! I was told it would be automatically applied to my account so when I filed it would be there. Hahaha, it wasn't and when I chatted with a rep I was informed that since my return was already submitted it was too late. I'll seriously look in to other tax products next year.
I have been with them for years. I do an estimated tax return with the information I have starting in Dec of each year to determine if I need to pay the estimated tax by 1/15 of the next year. As real information comes in I make changes. I had already posted 20 real documents and I then received a notice to my email address they have that I can get a 50% discount. Great. I clicked on the button to log in with my credentials and it created another return. I called and they told me I would have to either input the information again on the new return that shows they will give 50% off or they will give me only 20% on the one I inputted all the information on. That is bull.
Awful service...cant get to anyone the recorded line resists to connect to anyone... it is like fast food in the worse customer service...do not recommend...the bigger they become the horrible service it becomes...
My original return was rejected by the IRS. Had to fill in 3 boxes to get it right, yet they charged me 80 dollars to refile it. It cost me an additional 20 dollars to file the same state return. There was nothing prior to me clicking submit return that would have indicated this.
