Frequently Asked Questions
State tax software is included at no additional cost with the following bundles: Complete Bundle - Single User and Multi-User Enterprise, 1040 Bundle - Single User and Multi-User Enterprise, 1040 Twenty Bundle and Business Forty Bundle.
If you purchase Pay-Per-Return (PPR), state software can be purchased separately as needed; however state return filing is still included with the federal PPR cost. To avoid purchasing state software separately, consider purchasing one of the bundles.
All TaxAct Professional business plans—Complete Bundle - Single User and Multi-User Enterprise, Business Forty Bundle, and Business Pay-Per-Return (PPR)—support key federal business returns, including 1120, 1120S, 1065, 1041, and 990, along with required forms and schedules. 1040 federal and state programs are also included. Federal 1040 returns are also supported. Bundle plans include both federal and state business return capabilities. With the PPR plan, federal returns are included, but state software must be purchased separately to file state returns.
All TaxAct Professional individual plans—1040 Bundle - Single User and Multi-User Enterprise, 1040 Twenty Bundle, and Individual Pay-Per-Return (PPR)—include Form 1040 and related tax forms and schedules, along with support for filings such as 1040-NR and 1040-SS. Bundle plans include all supported state tax programs. With the Individual PPR plan, federal return preparation is included, but state software must be purchased separately to file state returns.
No, unused returns in Business Forty and 1040 Twenty bundle plans do not roll over to the next tax year. Each bundle is designed for use within the tax year purchased, so it’s important to choose a plan that aligns with your expected filing volume.
1040 Twenty and Business Forty bundle pricing is ideal for preparers who expect to file a set number of returns and want a lower cost per return compared to pay-per-return (PPR). For example,1040 Twenty and Business Forty include 20 and 40 returns upfront, respectively, which typically reduces your per-return cost versus paying individually for each return.
PPR, on the other hand, offers maximum flexibility with a low cost commitment up front, but costs can add up quickly as volume increases. PPR works best for low or unpredictable filing volumes, while 1040 Twenty and Business Forty bundles are more cost-effective once you have a steady client base.
Choose an unlimited plan, like 1040 Bundle or Complete Bundle, if your firm files a higher volume of returns and wants no limits or overage tracking. This is typically the most cost-efficient option once you exceed 1040 Twenty or Business Forty bundle thresholds. Plans like 1040 Bundle or Complete Unlimited Bundle allow unlimited filing for a flat price. 1040 Twenty and Business Forty bundle pricing is a better fit if you fall within a predictable range (e.g., 20–40 returns) and want a lower upfront investment. If you exceed your bundle, you can continue filing with additional returns purchased in-platform at PPR pricing, making 1040 Twenty and Business Forty bundles a flexible middle ground between PPR and unlimited plans.
If you exceed your bundle’s return limit, additional returns are typically charged on a PPR basis. This allows you to continue filing without interruption, while still benefiting from the lower cost structure of your original bundle.
If you previously purchased the 1040 Enterprise Bundle, choose the Multi-User 1040 Bundle which includes the enterprise features you are familiar with such as the document manager and cloud data storage.
If you previously purchased the Complete Enterprise Bundle, choose the Multi-User Complete Bundle which includes the enterprise features you are familiar with such as the document manager and cloud data storage.
