For those that use TurboTax, Chase Offers has 10% off if you use:
- Sapphire Reserve
- Freedom
- Freedom Unlimited

there may be others but I have the above and saw it there. Not as much as 30% for this deal but some are picky on their tax providers

I have been using them forever but they keep raising the price of the downloadable software that it might be time to move on. I really liked the ability to fill in fields direct on the forms vs having to do the Q&A for everything.

Same here - been using them the last 7 years but last year ended up costing me $130. Their state file is almost $50. I'm planning to move on unless they offer a deep discount of some sorts. Suggestions (that include rental properties)

I had this last year and this year as well. I thought I was getting a deal by getting 30% back on the $60 I paid for the Premier and was happy with my $18 savings until I spoke to my neighbor friend who did the same after hearing it from me.

He was able to talk to TaxAct customer care and haggle it down to the point that he was paying around $60 for Federal and two State returns including e-filing. He was able to give some excuse about COVID and that the $200-220 something that TaxAct wanted was too steep. The rep immediately discounted it heavily which he paid using his AmEx and got 30% credited back.

TLDR; Don't hesitate to haggle before you settle down to pay for your TaxAct service with your AmEx. You may end up with a slightly or a much better deal depending on who you get.

Mind you, if you sold stock in 2020, then you need the "Premier" tier for Capital Gains and Losses, Schedule D.
Wrong. Deluxe will do it.

I use Credit Karma. It is free and they do state taxes for free as well. Obviously it is free because they use your data to try to sell you stuff but TaxAct, TurboTax, HR Block all do similar things as well, they just charge you up the wazoo to do it.

You could be right if we are talking about web hosted tax application. But I prefer desktop tax applications: it puts me in a better control of my privacy. Also it allows to easier compare filing jointly vs separately.

I need to file 2 states so the $45 Tax Act charges is a deal breaker for me even if Federal is free. Tax Act used to offer great deals like they did last year ($5 Federal and $5 for each state), but if they don't offer anything by mid March I'm going with freetaxusa. Their interface isn't the greatest but if you match the numbers with what you get in Tax Act or TurboTax it shouldn't be too hard. Federal is totally free + $12.95 per state. There is also a 10% coupon that you can easily find on Google, and 15% CB if you go through urlhasbeenblocked. (the wait to get your CB is usually months though). Ends up less than $20 in my case for Fed and 2 states.

No, TaxAct only supports Fidelity, TD Ameritrade, Ameriprise, Betterment, UBS, Raymond James, Form8949 and GainsKeeper. However they do support capital gain excel/csv import; you do have to type them in an excel, save them as csv and import; its pretty simple if you can type them in an excel. From what I know, H&R Block and TurboTax has the most support for electronic import from the brokerages (or PDF form upload).

Yeah, TaxAct pricing is ridiculous this year. Its expensive than H&R block even though they lack many of the functionalities of H&R Block.
