You’ve been there before. Tax time, endless hours waiting, endless lines, crying babies, griping adults, phones ringing, people in and out the door. Waiting in an office for 2-3 hours to get my taxes filed just isn’t an option anymore. Especially not since TaxAct came on the scene!! Do you have any idea how easy it is to file a simple return, right at home? On your own computer? In your pajamas, even?!?! Oh, and the best part is, it’s FREE!!
Here are the biggest reasons you should file your own income tax returns at home, using TaxAct!
#1 – It’s FREE!
Yes! Filing your federal tax return with TaxAct is free! There are features that do cost and if your tax return is more indepth, like if you need to file long form or take business deductions, you should opt for the Deluxe or Ultimate options.
#2 – You can file both Federal and State returns
Most of us have to file both a federal and state tax return. You can do both easily with TaxAct. The cool thing is that it’s set up to pull your information on over to your state return too, so you don’t have to re-enter important information. Saves SO much time, you don’t even know! Just so you’re aware, most all state tax returns will cost a small fee to file electronically.
#3 – Save time & money!
Most tax returns that are filed through a tax office cost anywhere from $100 on up to file. Some even $300 or more if you opt for fast refunds. Not only will using TaxAct save you money in your pocket, it’ll save you tons of time too. No more having to wait hours in lines!
#4 – Biggest Refund guaranteed, the fastest way possible.
They guarantee the biggest refund possible – and they ask all the right questions to determine if you’re getting all the tax breaks and deductions you can take. You’ll also get lots of great options for receiving your refund, including direct deposit.
#5 – Free Tax help and audit support
If ever you need assistance or have questions, TaxAct can lend you a hand. They’re also available to lend support if you’re ever audited. It’s good to know that you’re not alone in that situation!

You know, I haven’t heard of TaxAct till now. I already filled for this year, but will check them out next year.
My taxes are already done for this year but I’ll have to remember this next year! I looks like a great program to use!
I remember the days when we had to go to the local P.O. or library just to get our forms. And if we didn’t get all the right ones, back we went. So convenient now!
This sounds like a great way to file your taxes. Hard to believe the deadline to file is almost here!
Whatever tax software you choose, do not buy or use Intuit’s products. It is because of them, that we even have to go through this silly process each year. The IRS had offered to do your taxes for free, and either send you a bill or check. You see, the IRS already has your W2s, 1099s etc. (If you had an issue you could still file your own after a review). Who wouldn’t want that? Well, Intuit of course!
