The TaxAct® Professional programs start releasing in late October and are updated periodically throughout the filing season. The federal editions released in October are preview editions and do not contain the finalized tax forms. The programs are updated when the final forms are released. You can import your prior year clients with the preview and they will be updated accordingly.
