Not FREE, as advertised.  I'm retired and try to take advantage of low-cost or no-cost services.  These folks are NOT free.  I don't know how they get away with advertising this service as free.  Honestly.  Where is the integrity??

that person said to refresh the page which took us to a completion we had not had & that spinning wheel knew it.  now we had alerts again re that pension but due to the system lacking an id # for them--which we supplied--and that was the solution it needed. there were a few more pages for verification & id numbers from the IRS triple checking that we were who we stated we were. [i liked this --just wish the email i used as an ID with taxACT were simpler!}  
This all made my husband happy as he never thought we would get TAXES done ON TIME  starting as late as we did.  But we didn't earn anything so ...  

How i chose TaxACT was more time consuming & fearful.
  First --TRUST ISSUES!  Here i was planning to give our years worth of accounting info WITH ALL the very real SCARES re IDENTITY THEFT!!  
& how would i know to trust them--well --
ANGIES LIST!
  the reviews were mixed.  I am glad i could read between the lines & do a test drive to determine that i was up to our collaboration.  Also, when i checked the prices taxACT was the best deal.  
Something to prepare for if u r on the genetic side of 'running late'. They have a great "what u need to have ready" when u start the process.  it disappears quickly. COPY/PASTE!
When I called--- Each time--even 2 days 2GO! the screener was polite & patient & directed me to the correct specialist--& always told me bout how long a wait it would be---@ 20 mins.was the most---so they must hire enough STAFF!
They do offer to be ones official Tax Preparer for an extra SUM--under $50. & it's a "money back within 1 month if 1 changes their mind offer".  Thought 2 take it but "could NOT FIND IT ---HELLO & THANKS  taxACT!!!"

As a long-time user of TaxAct not so good!  Their software performed as advertised, except they billed $12.99 and $5 for the service.  This after I visited the site searching for and thought I'd found a free product, based on their advertisements.

In the past, some ten or more years, I'd purchase their premium package for about $21, which included Federal and State with free e-file of the federal.  The free product only cost me $17.99 even though it implied a free federal e-file!

Next year I'll find a better product.

I've tried in vain to find a means to express my displeasure on their website; they don't provide such!

I've been using them for the past 3 years. They help me with my taxes and they make it simple and convenient. My overall experience with them has been excellent.

Tax Act is an online service for my taxes. I also used them last year. You do not talk to them. You just use their forms on line and answer the questions. I went with this company because of the price. They provide state and federal tax filling online.
