About TaxAct
TaxAct sells online and downloadable tax filing software for individual and business returns, with optional live help from credentialed experts or full-service filing, and it has been in business since 1998.
Online editions let you start free and pay only when you file, and the price is set at the moment you pay, print or e-file.
Beyond personal 1040 returns, TaxAct covers sole proprietors, partnerships (Form 1065), S corporations (1120-S), C corporations (1120), and estates and trusts (1041), while Form 990 is available only as PC download software. A separate TaxAct for Pros line serves tax professionals.
The consumer editions step up from Free to Deluxe, Premier and Self-Employed, aimed at homeowners, investors and freelancers in turn. Xpert Assist lets filers consult a tax expert as they work, and Xpert Full Service hands the whole return to US-based credentialed preparers. TaxAct backs its software with a Maximum Refund Guarantee and a $100k Accuracy Guarantee and sells Audit Defense as an add-on. A mobile app lets filers photograph their documents.

How to use a TaxAct coupon
- TaxAct locks in prices when you pay, print or e-file, not when you open a return, so any discount has to be in place before that step.
- The new-customer flat rate covers federal and state for $70, but only on returns started on or after Sep 17, 2026 and filed by Oct 15, 2026.
- TaxAct says promotional offers may not be combined, so expect one offer per return rather than a referral discount on top of the flat rate.
- Before paying for Deluxe, check whether the Free Edition fits your income and deductions, since its federal filing costs $0 for those who qualify.
- Form 990 filers should know it's a download-for-PC product only.
If your TaxAct code doesn't work
- Combining offers: Promotional offers may not be combined.
- New customers only: Federal and state for a flat $70 on a first order (new customers who start on or after Sep 17, 2026 and file by Oct 15, 2026) does not apply to repeat orders.
More reasons a code fails, and what to try: why promo codes don't work.
More ways to save at TaxAct
- TaxAct's referral program gives you a $20 Amazon gift card for each friend who files with Deluxe, Premier or Self-Employed, and the friend gets 20% off federal filing.
- Download editions come with a full refund within 30 days of receipt if no return was filed and accepted, which gives room to try the software firSt. The Maximum Refund Guarantee and the $100k Accuracy Guarantee don't lower the sticker price, but they cap what a wrong result can cost you.
