### 2/5 — Not really useful

*2026-04-18*

The web interface for TaxAct is still good, tho it was much better 2 years ago. I have been using them to file my taxes for at least 25 years. This web app does not display documents well and is impossible to navigate. Using the web interface in the mobile browser is far more effective. 
- E.G. The app should be able to rotate when there is a document that is trying to wrap a second column and only fits like 10 chars.

### 2/5 — TaxAct let me down!

*2026-04-16, version 1.2.8*

I know I shouldn’t have waited until the last minute but, at 11:45PM on 4/15/2026,  tried to file my return. TaxAct told me I had to complete the final steps again. And again, and again, until I was FINALLY able to file it at 12:08AM on 4/16/2026. I hope I don’t hear from the IRS about late filing. If I do, TaxAct will be hearing from me!

### 3/5 — Tax act not quite the same

*2026-04-16, version 1.2.7*

In prior years the TaxAct software provided a very detailed interview process. It was harder to locate some items this year such as the energy credit form.

### 4/5 — 2025 Tax

*2026-04-16, version 1.2.7*

Price increase

### 4/5 — Filing taxes

*2026-04-15, version 1.2.7*

Filing taxes with tax act

### 2/5 — over complicated self employment forms

*2026-04-15, version 1.2.7*

all you need is total income and total expenses, everything else is just garbage

### 5/5 — Filing

*2026-04-14, version 1.2.7*

TaxAct was easy as pie! Would recommend to use for everyone!

### 4/5 — One issue

*2026-04-14*

The section for long and short term stock sales would only allow a purchase date. It would not allow you to type various for stocks that were purchased at multiple dates.

### 4/5 — Easy Mobile App

*2026-04-14, version 1.2.7*

I like the accessibility, but the photo entry for documentation didn’t work for me.

### 5/5 — Step-by-step guide

*2026-04-14, version 1.2.7*

Whew! Glad to be done!

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2026-04-13, version 1.2.7*

5 Stars

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Nothing but pop ups

*2026-06-12, version 1.2.9*

I can’t see my return details and every other time I click something to try, I get a pop up to rate the app. Apparently the only thing it does well is collect ratings

### 1/5 — Booooo

*2026-05-27, version 1.2.9*

So over being forced to pay to do my taxes because it’s not the most basic return possible. And an extra $60 for paying with my return? Terrible terrible terrible company. But the alternatives aren’t really much better.

### 1/5 — State refund

*2026-05-04, version 1.2.9*

I cant find my state refund the app is making it hard for me to see when my refund coming back

### 1/5 — Phone number

*2026-04-16, version 1.2.8*

It wouldn’t let me use my phone number then it’s in a code to a number I’ve never had

### 1/5 — Over Charged Me

*2026-04-15, version 1.2.7*

When it came to pay.  Your service added things I DIDN’T WANT

### 1/5 — Shysty

*2026-04-15, version 1.2.7*

Didn’t state the $45 fee for a two minute phone call for 1 simple question.

### 1/5 — Super frustrating to use

*2026-04-15, version 1.2.7*

Keeps opening a new return. Finally figured out how to see the one I already entered all the information in. Only using because I’m getting a discount through T-Mobile. Wish it was TurboTax!

### 1/5 — Robber barons and sharks

*2026-04-13, version 1.2.7*

I’ve been using this group in 2007.  For the first few years, service was good.  But through the good and bad times of the economy, TaxAct service costs have become out of control and they have the nerve to force me to purchase documents I don’t need.  And when I need help, no one is available.  I am done.

### 1/5 — Would not listen to me.

*2026-04-13, version 1.2.7*

There was no place for me to put a promo code, and the person on the phone with me wouldn’t listen. Very frustrating, and the only good part was their AI helpline. I never got to put in my promo code. Plus never got a call back either.

### 1/5 — Difficult

*2026-04-05, version 1.2.6*

The file was more complicated this year. I’ve been filing with you for years. I believe this is my last year

### 5/5 — Fast and easy

*2026-07-27, version 1.2.9*

Tax act has been easy to use and is a fast process with the picture uploads

### 5/5 — User Friendly

*2026-06-18, version 1.2.9*

Most user friendly tax prep app that cuts right to the chase without extra unnecessary questions and I have used several popular apps. By far my favorite!

### 5/5 — Easy to Use and Affordable Tax Filing Service

*2026-05-14*

I had a smooth experience using TaxAct for filing my taxes this year. The platform was easy to navigate, and the step-by-step guidance made the process simple even for someone without much tax knowledge. I also liked that it was more affordable compared to some other tax software options. The refund estimator and error checks were very helpful. Overall, a reliable and convenient service for tax filing.

### 5/5 — Extremely easy and helpful

*2026-05-05, version 1.2.9*

Tax act has a very useful, helpful, and easy to use app!! Thank you

### 5/5 — Easy peasy

*2026-04-23, version 1.2.9*

Just upload and go it

### 5/5 — Still My Main Squeeze

*2026-04-16, version 1.2.7*

I’ve been using TaxAct for years, and the movie app still continues to perform well. Easy to navigate and rather stable. Thank you!

### 5/5 — The Best!

*2026-04-15, version 1.2.7*

Very easy and great price! My new way of doing my taxes

### 5/5 — 2026 tax return

*2026-04-15, version 1.2.7*

Everything was straight forward took about an hour

### 5/5 — I won’t go anywhere else!!

*2026-04-15*

I’ve been doing my taxes with TaxAct for years, and I’m a truly loyal customer. My boyfriend once insisted I go to his accountant “just to make sure everything was accurate,” and guess what? The accountant got the exact same result I was already seeing on TaxAct. (Of course I ended up submitting my taxes through TaxAct)

That was all the confirmation I needed.

TaxAct makes the entire process incredibly simple: step-by-step, clear, and completely self-explanatory, almost like just filling in the blanks. It even pulls all my information from the previous year, which saves so much time. I love that!

The experience is always smooth, fast, and stress-free.
I trust it, I rely on it, and I’m not going anywhere else.

### 5/5 — GREAT SERVICE!!!

*2026-04-14, version 1.2.7*

I thought it was going to be tedious filing my taxes this year. Thanks to TaxAct it was hassle free, quick and easy!
