TaxACT Free Edition Review
Who should use TaxACT Free Edition?
- If you are single
- If you have no children
- If you have a simple return
- If you need to import from a 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ
- If you want some guidance with your return
This product does not give you the ability to import 1099s or W-2s, provide additional guidance with deductions, credits and investments, or help with rental income or self-employment income. To get these abilities, you'll need to upgrade to TaxACT Deluxe.
TaxACT Free Edition Conclusion
We are in the process of reviewing TaxACT 2012 tax software, and our site will be updated December 2011.
TaxACT's Free Edition is the company's most basic offering. With it, you still receive several of the company's essential features, but there are several notable ones that are not included or cost extra. The Free Edition allows you to enter one Life Event (such as having a baby), but requires you to upgrade if you need to report more than one event. You also can receive free tax advice via email from TaxACT's tax professionals, but the ability to speak to a tax professional over the phone requires an upgrade. You also need to keep in mind whether you need to file a state return when comparing tax products. Even though this product is classified as a "Free Edition," it actually costs you $14.95 to file a state return.
The Free Edition uses the exact same interface as the high end products, making the Free Edition just as easy to navigate as any of TaxACT's other products. If you have no investments and have experienced very few life changes over the course of the last year, then TaxACT's Free Edition is a suitable choice for preparing your taxes.

TaxACT also offers the most thorough error-checking system we’ve reviewed. They offer help with filing your tax return as well as live tax support for a low price of $7.95. TaxACT’s products are best for people filing simple to moderately complicated tax returns, as they don’t offer a CPA to review your tax return, which is usually only important for more complicated returns.
