TaxAct Deluxe is a Great Product.

I have used TaxAct for a number of years and the software just seems to get easier and easier. I had to reach out to a expert this year via phone and she was so helpful. I will continue to use TaxAct in the future.

Easy to use.

I am so happy with the service I was able to speak with the expert as many times as needed until I felt confident that I filled everything out correctly. My return came quickly with no issues.

Another positive experience.

“We have used TaxAct for several years. This year was a little more complicated, but TaxAct got us through it. We used the chat feature, and when the expert realized it was complicated, she called me. She made the complicated easy.”

Will continue to use TaxAct for my tax needs.
