Calling TaxAct Customer Care at 319-373-3600

Calling Tax Act was very frustrating. Despite a friendly greeting and a lot of options, it was just one big directory maze, and it seemed that at the end of every path was a recorded message. The recorded messages did not get me closer to any actual person and did not help me get any answers to my questions. They basically just kept encouraging me to go online for answers. However, I wanted to check on my electronically filed taxes and get some information from them due to an audit message, but that didn't work out. Even after spending over ten minutes, I couldn't figure out how to get to a real person. 

Also bothersome was the fact that the Tax Act jingle kept playing throughout the recording. It would make it hard to figure out what the directory options were, and it was already a complex enough subject without any additional help. 

The first directory told me, "If you need assistance regarding a business, download, SSA, Vita return, please press 1. If you need assistance regarding your 2022 online return, press 2. If you need assistance regarding the 2021 online return, press 3. For self-service instructions on signing into your account, locating your AGI, or help finding your return, please press 4." None of these options really seemed to be great, but I chose 4 because it seemed to be the closest. 

This led me to a new directory of options that instructed me, "For assistance signing into a Tax Act account, press 1. For assistance with locating your prior year AGI, press 2. For assistance with printing, press 3. For assistance with electronic filing, press 4."

I pressed one, and it told me, "For assistance signing into a Tax Act Account, please visit a website." This didn't help, so I tried the second option. This led to another recorded message that asked me to visit www.taxact.com/support. So then I tried option 4 because I knew that I didn't need any help with printing, and it gave me a new list of options. At this point, I was just trying any option in the hopes that I would get to talk to an actual person. 

This time, it said, "For assistance locating your electronic filing status, press 1. For assistance with e-file rejection, press 2. For assistance with a restricted user message, press 3." No matter what option I tried, I would get a scripted message or told to visit the website. At this point, I gave up because I couldn't deal with listening to one more script. It seemed absurd a tax company wouldn't have anyone you could talk to about an audit.
