TaxAct’s own pricing pages blocked automated access during research for this list, so its current prices and form coverage could not be verified and are not reported here.
Buyers comparing TaxAct with TurboTax should check the current price of the business edition, which states are supported for entity e-filing and whether expert help is included, directly on TaxAct’s site. Its main structural advantage is that firms using TaxAct Professional or Drake can work within the same corporate family’s tools.
