The best part is that if I ever have an issue or question their customer service responds right away\! > > **Cons**: Overall this software is great. When I do have problems the company helps very quickly. Their knowledge base is really helpful too. > > Switching to drake software was a pretty easy switch. I quickly learned the software. ----- ### "Drake is a best in class tax preparation software." — 5.0/5 > **Marie Alana** | *17 March 2022* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've been using Drake for over 10 years for tax prep. The pay-per-return was a fabulous price for when my practice was very small. Now that I have nearly 200 tax returns, I use the unlimited version and it's priced much better than comparable tax prep software. And their customer service over the years has been amazing. I've used several other tax software programs over the years and so far, this is the best. > > **Cons**: The ONLY thing I find frustrating with Drake is the inability to work in the cloud without paying $100/mo per user for their hosting service (on top of the cost of the software). I have a remote accountant that would love to help enter tax data but I'd have to pay for all of the users in my office just to have the one remote accountant have access as well so it's not cost effective. They really need a cloud-based accounting option. > > Overall, very good. I'll be very sad if I need to leave them to find a better cloud-based tax software. ----- ### "Poor Service" — 1.0/5 > **Julia** | *12 February 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: sometimes customer service is actually good after you call 4 times and take time to give review. > > **Cons**: Some representative attitude is very low. It comes across very uneducated. > > Thinking about purchasing pro connect or series. Cheaper price definitely. ----- ### "E-Signature limitations" — 5.0/5 > **Kevin** | *6 October 2023* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great customer service, fairly easy to use and administer, diagnostic feedback and information is very helpful. Portals allows me to work with my remote clients efficiently but there are some key limitations. > > **Cons**: Portals remote e-signature is very helpful in most cases. However, in the case were the surviving spouse needs to sign in both places Portals falls down. It will not allow the surviving spouse to sign the return despite have death certificate and letter of testamentary. That is ridiculous and mind-numbingly stupid. > > Drake is continually improving their product and that is an important goal. The price of an annual subscription isn't cheap but there is entrance pricing for new offices. Drake Tax Software is in my opinion so much better than many other high priced solutions. The customer service is simply great. ----- ### "Powerful Professional Tax Prep Software\!" — 5.0/5 > **Heidi** | *14 April 2023* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really love the worksheets feature, it is integrated so nicely and really helps me keep track of my work. The integration with the TaxBook is also very helpful\! > > **Cons**: DrakeTax has a learning curve as it is not set up interview style, you have to know what you are doing and where to go. It also is outdated visually, it reminds me of a windows program from the 90's or early 00's.I wish the pay-per-return feature was available for corporate returns. > > There is a reason DrakeTax is the \#1 Professional tax software in the US. It does an amazing job. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/2049648/drake-tax?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/2049648/drake-tax) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
