Whether you need to complete a previously-started prior year return or prepare a new one, you can access or create your return using our TaxAct Online program.
You will need to know the tax year, username, and password used when you registered the account. If you forgot your username or password, click the Forgot Username or Password? link on the sign in screen.
Since TaxAct Desktop returns are stored on your local computer, we do not have access to your return file(s). We encourage you to save your return(s) on a removable media drive (thumb drive or CD-ROM) and store an additional back up copy elsewhere. If you no longer have access to your return, you will need to request a copy from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or state tax agency.
