What do you like best about Drake Tax?

Drake Tax is very affordable tax software which is ideal for the small tax firms. The software is very robust and pretty straightforward to use. I have been using Drake Tax for 3 tax seasons and it is great. It allows me to do what I need to do. I really love the pay as you grow option which is ideal for practices that do not do a ton of tax returns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drake Tax?

I wish the software wasn't so colorless and boring looking. It is all gray scaled and not fun to look at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Drake Tax solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is very affordable for being a robust tax software. It competes just fine with the big tax software companies at half the cost. Designed for the small tax practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
