About TaxAct
TaxAct started out in 1998, and it’s one of the more famous brands in the online tax assistance service industry. They offer extremely accurate services with their in-house programmers and tax accountants, and all their forms are approved by the IRS and all the states.
TaxAct helps everyone, and that’s not an exaggeration. They’re not just for regular individuals, but they’re also famous for offering online assistance to both small businesses and even medium-sized businesses.
Actually, TaxAct even helps out thousands of professional tax return preparers. In other words, if you decide to opt with a professional tax return preparer in town, there’s a good chance that this pro is actually also using TaxAct. If you’re one of these professional tax return preparers, then you can use the TaxAct Professional Editions to streamline your workflow so you can serve more clients in less time.
The costs for the tax advice are quite reasonable, and there’s even a free package. Aside from this free package, you also have various tiers that are similar to the TurboTax packages. It’s just that with TaxAct, you pay 20% less. It’s just cheap, but the service sure is premium.
Everything here is extremely easy to use. In fact, switching from your previous online tax provider to using TaxAct is no trouble at all. You just upload a PDF copy of your tax return in the previous year, and the TaxAct software handles everything else.
TaxAct offers simple, understandable tips while you’re filing, to optimize your tax outcome and minimize the hassle. After you file, you also get advice and a customized tax plan so you can optimize your next year’s refund.
TaxAct helps if you’re audited over the next 3 years after you file your tax return, and it also keeps you up to date when there’s a significant change to your tax return status. As for paying the TaxAct fees, you even have the option of having the fees deducted straight from your refund.
