If a software error results in a smaller refund or higher tax liability than using the same data with another tax preparation product, TaxAct refunds your software fees, pays the IRS-determined difference, and covers resulting penalties, interest, and reasonably documented legal and audit costs up to $100,000 per customer. Claims must be submitted within 60 days of e-filing.

Yes. All TaxAct online products use a start-free model. You begin your return at no cost and only pay when you're ready to print or e-file. If you stop before filing, you won't be charged. This applies across the Free, Deluxe, Premier, and Self-Employed editions.

Xpert Assist is a $45 add-on that provides unlimited one-on-one sessions with credentialed tax experts, including CPAs and enrolled agents, covering all consumer forms.

Funds are typically delivered within 24 hours of IRS acceptance when selecting direct deposit. Available with fee-based 2025 online products.

Audit Defense starts at $54.99 and provides three years of post-filing protection for both federal and state returns. Coverage includes IRS and state agency contact on your behalf, correspondence preparation, resolution strategy, and credit and debt support.
