Quote from just123me :
Crazy that we sign up for this 1/2 price deal and Taxact doesn't honor it.

I had signed my mom up for Premium and I signed up for the Self Emaployed.

I saw my price when I went to start my taxes and had to fight with a couple of Taxact reps before they finally agreed to apply the discount to my acct to put it to the deal that I signed up for. He basically just applied a 50.00 discount which reflected before I efiled.

Then I was going to help my mom do hers, and her price went up also. So I can to call Taxact again and had to talk to 2 people before they too agreed to put the price at the price that we signed up for.

So I would say if price went up, call Taxact 319-373-3600 and I went to prompt that asks if 2022 question, then the next promp I selected billing. I think it was 1 then 2, or it night have been click 2 and then 1.

Fight for the prices promised and what you signed up for. You locked it in and they can't just increase the prices. They'll tell you prices went up but you're still getting half price, Don't let them get by with that.

With a little persistence, they will put a discount in your acct. After they do it, you won't see the discounted price until you get to the end where you're about to e-file and the price should show a discount. You won't see it in your return before you file. It'll still be the high price.

Anyway, that' s my experience.

I mean what's the point of signing and locking in a deal if they don't honor it. That's crazy and scammy.

I didn't need any screenshot but thankfully when I came back to this thread, it had the prices that I had signed up for so I just told them that's what I locked in.
Thanks for this info. I had same issue and had to call them to get the price adjusted per this post.

Anyone know if you file an extension if you'll still get the discount?
I know it says to file by April 18th but just curious if I extend if I lose this for sure.

Spoke too soon… while trying to file they bumped up second state to $54.95 so had to call them again and get additional credit. Customer service told rep told me that this is one time courtesy adjustment as that deal is being interpreted incorrectly.

Did you have to show any proof of the old discount? I'm running into the same thing now

Does anyone have a screenshot of this deal I can fight TaxAct for? A rep is telling me I need to have pre-paid to get the deal which wasn't true - you just had to start your return.

They know that you have got that deal. You just need to tell them you got below deal and prices should have been locked.

Deluxe: Federal ($12.48) + State ($22.48) = $34.96 Regular: $24.95 + $44.95 = $69.90
Premier: Federal ($17.48) + State ($22.48) = $39.96 Regular: $34.95 + $44.95 = $79.90
Self-Employed: Federal ($32.48) + State ($22.48) = $54.96 Regular: $64.95 + $44.95 = $109.90

No, not required to pre-pay. What I was told to ensure to have all the states added immediately at the time of locking in.

I finally got them to match my original deal but it was a nasty fight.

They kept saying that:

1. I had to pay up front (the offer had no such terms), and
2. They kept saying that they were allowed to increase the price since the time of the promo

I kept telling them that neither of those were in the terms of the promotion I signed up for and they finally relented.

So maddening.

(and by the way, this pretty much happens every f*ing year with them).

Don't trust the screenshots. They will raise prices when you do taxes.
