TaxAct® provides a great way for you to get a head start on your taxes. If you used TaxAct last year, you can import your data into this year’s return to save time. You can also enter preliminary tax information now to make filing even easier! 

Note. You will not be allowed to complete your return until filing is available. Filing and TaxAct state editions will be available in early January, and the IRS will begin processing returns in mid-January.
