Maximum Refund Guarantee: We guarantee you’ll get your maximum tax refund if you use one of TaxAct’s individual 1040 products to e-file your return. If you are a registered user of TaxAct’s individual 1040 products and you receive a larger refund amount or pay a smaller tax due amount on your federal and/or state tax return using an online tax preparation software other than the TaxAct software, then we will refund to you the applicable federal and/or state purchase price paid by you for the TaxAct software. All other fees are excluded. Read more about our Maximum Refund Guarantee.

$100k Accuracy Guarantee: We guarantee our software is 100% accurate and will calculate your maximum refund under applicable law. If an error in our software results in you ultimately receiving a smaller refund or larger tax liability than you receive using the same data with another tax preparation product, we will: (1) refund the applicable software fees you paid us, (2) pay you the difference in the tax refund or liability, (3) cover any penalties and interest levied against you and (4) any reasonably documented legal and audit costs you incur. In no event will our total, cumulative obligation under (1)-(4) above to any customer under this guarantee exceed $100,000. This guarantee only extends to returns that are e-filed by taxpayers preparing their own tax returns using our Consumer 1040 products.  Read more about our $100k Accuracy Guarantee.
