TaxACT Ultimate Conclusion

TaxACT Ultimate gives you all the features of the Deluxe product plus the state add-on forms. If you live in a state which does not require you to file state income tax, you can save money by using the TaxACT Deluxe version. However, if you do need to file state income taxes, TaxACT Ultimate gives you a great bundled package. The Ultimate package is a feature-rich offering, which provides TaxACT's intuitive and user-friendly navigation. TaxACT Ultimate can handle multiple life changes, such as having a baby, getting a new job, buying a home, as well as several other pertinent deductions. You can also import directly from your W-2 or 1099s. You can add unlimited tax support via phone; however you must prepay for the service, instead of waiting until your ready to file.

As with all TaxACT products, TaxACT Deluxe offers a Money Back Guarantee and a 100% Accuracy Guarantee. Both state that they will reimburse you and pay any IRS fees you incur if your return is filed inaccurately due to errors caused by the software. The only downside is that they will not represent you in the event that you get audited. However, they do have a very in-depth system that can help you deal with your audit on an individual basis.
