TaxAct's deluxe download version, on the other hand, has several interesting features, a nicely designed interface and good navigation. But its help features aren't quite as good as those on TaxCut's download, which sells for about the same price. Like TurboTax and TaxCut, TaxAct also keeps a running total of your refund in the upper left-hand corner, which is nifty. You can get a taste of what TaxAct offers by downloading a free version of its federal tax preparation software. Navigating the program also can be pretty baffling, and users might find they spend as much time figuring out how to get from form to form as they do inputting their information.
Cost includes e-filing.
This is another site that seems designed with the pros, rather than the general public, in mind. Unlike Taxslayer, you have to pay for this one. There's no interview process. Most other programs will work with what you give them, which can help if you want to get a quick overview of your tax situation. Since you're working on one long screen, though, slow load times are less of a problem than with other online programs.
