One-Price Guarantee

Recently, 1040.com changed its pricing structure. Although the company removed its free filing option, it now offers a flat-rate model. And it's only $25 to prepare and file both federal and state taxes (plus any applicable sales tax for the federal and state tax returns).

Advanced Software

Drake Software's 1040.com tax filing solution is based on its proprietary tax software product. There are many different software solutions, including GruntWorx, that make it easy for users to manage their documents. GruntWorx is a secure cloud-based paradigm that automates the tax preparation process. In the 1040.com platform, clients can transform their preparation and organization of forms through a unique cloud server that stores tax documents securely and safely.

Drake Software also has several webinars and blogs that advise clients on tax prep solutions, the latest IRS reforms, and other trending information in the industry. Drake has also won several awards in the industry, including the CPA Practice Advisor's Readers' Choice Award and First Place in the AICPA Software Survey, which includes Best Software for a new practice.

Automatically Suggested Deductions

The company has an abundance of deduction resources on its website. People can go to learn about standard and itemized deductions, as well as different ways one can use deductibles. The helpful information 1040.com provides about deducting state and local taxes is thorough and was written for the benefit of the customer. There are a lot of useful tips in the "Tax Savings Strategies" portion of the site, as well as crucial deductible information for those who are self-employed. Tax preparers may also get an estimated tax refund through the free 1040.com Tax Refund Calculator App.

Company Blog

We found the blog to be particularly helpful. Customers can learn a little bit more about how to include our donations with state and federal tax filings and how to get a receipt stating the "fair market value" of the items donated and not the price paid when they were purchased.

Mobile-Friendly Site

1040.com is also mobile-friendly. This is always a bonus for any company because it makes filing taxes more convenient. The process can be started and completed anywhere you go.

Supported Forms

The company offers 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ forms for basic tax preparation. If you need advanced tax preparation, it also provides forms like the Schedule C for profit or loss in business, the Schedule E for supplemental loss and income, and more.

The Bad

Additional Costs

Additional Costs

While it's only $25 to file both your federal and state tax returns, 1040.com does have a few other services that will cost customers extra. Of course, these services are optional and not required.

The company allows customers to decide if they'd like to pay using their refund or by credit/debit card. 1040.com's E-collect does cost an extra $24.95. But it's an excellent alternative for consumers who would rather not use their debit or credit card.

Another optional service that customers may want is Audit Protection. 1040.com does offer a robust Audit Protection service to all its filers through Protection Plus. Protection Plus is a third-party company and some customers may not feel as comfortable having their information shared with a separate company. But once again, this service is entirely optional. If a customer does want to purchase Audit Protection, it will cost them an additional $29.95.

gavel

The Bottom Line

Overall, we would recommend going with another company if you are filing your taxes. We did like the following aspects of 1040.com:

One-Price Guarantee which includes state at no extra cost (no matter how many states are needed)
A good collection of blog articles that addressed a wide array of different issues.
An easy-to-use tax forms system that is backed by Drake Software's proprietary GruntWorx preparation system with step-by-step instructions

However, customers should be prepared to pay a bit more for extra services such as E-collect and Protection Plus's Audit Protection.

For a single W-2 situation, 1040.com might be a good tax service to use. However, you might find that the website is a little bit cumbersome for larger tax situations. In complicated tax situations, it might be best to use a professional tax preparation service.

Dani Smithers Roseburg, OR

Had a pretty bad experience, started out fine and appreciated the flat fee. It's a long story but basically there were some issues with my returns, I tried communicating with their team about it and was multiple times given wrong information and/or rushed off the help chat. My bank account got double charged for some of my income taxes resulting in me having to pay NSF fees. I spent hours trying to resolve the issue(s). 1040's team was unsympathetic and pretty much acted like they were excited for me to go away. I got refunded the $25 I paid them to use their service but the NSF fees totaled over double that.

The website kept locking up so I had to log out and log in several times. It said, I had refund so I put in my bank information for direct deposit. It would not let me review the return before e file it. When I e- filed and I reviewed my return it had error where it two entries on the same income. It also said, I owed money and had a payment plan set up which I did not agree to. IRS tried to withdrawal the full amount owe today!

Filed my taxes with 1040.com this year after seeing the price hikes that Turbo/others were taking. The flat price was appealing to me and turned out to actually be too. They may not have all the features of the other guys, but nonetheless they got the job done at more than half the price. I definitely recommend.

William Burden ,

Had an issue with getting my passcode with irs to complete filing after I made pymt to 1040.com for 16 bucks for state taxes. Never fully completed the process. But I didn’t owe so I waited til next year to clear up the mess. 1040.com deleted info and claimed they charged me for me to use their online software not to do the filing then deleted the very information I was charged for. It’s not a huge loss but deleting my info I was planning to reuse and paid for is pushing me away from coming back. So just be cautious of counting on them to keep your forms as they also didn’t make them available to me in this circumstance. Online service was quick to fall back in terms of service instead of offering a solution or trying to help with getting forms back. I’ll trust other software moving forward.

I can't get in touch with anyone. I need a receipt to know exactly how much I paid in taxes. But I can't get into my payment history without knowing exactly how much I paid. The robot phone call does nothing to help and even when it asked would you like to talk to someone it then says you can't. The email just sends a unhelpful automated response. I have no idea if the IRS even got my money. They have no tweeted sense 2010 and their linked in page is all private so I can't even try to find who to contact. This is honestly terrifying.

Entering my data went very smoothly. I processed my Federal return without issue. My State of Minnesota return did not get submitted and four months later I still am working on getting my refund. They showed some obscure number that was missing or incorrect. No one can figure our what they are talking about. You will never be able to get any help. Do not use this. Use a different package.

Fred Smithfield, VA

My overall rating is 0- ZERO!! Completed my 2019 taxes through their website. Even received a confirmation screen stating my e-file had been processed. And they charged me for filing. This year tried completing and e-filing through TurboTax. My return kept getting rejected because my AGI for 2019 did not match what IRS had on file. Well, that's because 1040 never processed and/or sent my electronic return to the IRS. I only found this out when requesting a copy of my return transcript from the IRS. And they stated they had no record of my 2019 return. I'm 85 years old. And in all my years I've never been in trouble with the IRS. Now I get to spend my short time left on this earth worrying over how to get this resolved. Their customer service people keep telling me I never completed my return. Yet I have a completed return and I'm out the fee for filing. And who knows what I'm going to have to go through to get this corrected with the IRS. Should have used TurboTax from the get go. Well, you get what you pay for. Or do you??

I do not recommend this company for doing your taxes, especially with state taxes they do not ask you upfront some important questions that can lead to you missing deductions. Additionally, many of their forms are named differently than the corresponding tax forms, so you have to go searching a while to find what you need. I also found their customer service agent to be very unhelpful.

Pay1040 did not send my payment to the IRS. Pay1040 does not have a dispute resolution process. The company confirmed payment & then sent an email on a holiday that stated the payment would be refunded instead of being sent to the IRS. I called on Sunday to resolve the issue & was told the payment was already refunded. I wrote on Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday to resolve the issue. On Wednesday, I was told the payment was refunded the prior Saturday. I was later told they couldn't refund it on Saturday, but that it was refunded on Monday despite my reported error & multiple requests for resolution. Pay1040 does not follow regulatory requirements.

I thought I was going to be charged 44.90 but apparently when you opt to have the fees deducted from your refund they tack on another 24.95 but this is NOT CLEARLY itemized with your total fees. It only lists the state fee and the federal fee and nothing else. So they charged me 69.85. If they were clear about these extra fees I would have never opted to use this service. I have used them for years but will not again. Also their customer service is lacking. They have email and live chat but they time you out of live chat before you can explain your problem. They have no phone support either . I would stay away. Also they say "free" but that is not true.

I used 1040.com for years to file my taxes for free. This year they said they would charge me me $33 to file my federal taxes. I have a confirmation screen that showing "My Payment $33.71". I was charged $60 instead. I tried to contact them but they only have chat support. There is no phone number and if you call the parent company Drake Software they won't give you a phone number, only an email. I emailed and was told that I was charged correctly, even after I sent a screen shot showing my real charge. This company commits tax preparation fraud and has no contact method to correct. Avoid at all costs.

They should be on the worst company website. 1040.com is not a respectable and trustworthy company,they should not be handling people's sensitive information. I'm reporting them to the irs criminal investigation unit and anyone else that will listen. They had me believe that I would get my money deposited into my bank account and they specifically asked for bank aba routing # and acct#. Well the where's my refund date is March 2 if nothing by the 7th contact bank. So ok i call bank and they no nothing of the sort they suggest calling irs to make sure the numbers and information are correct. Irs tells me that the money was paid out to a third party's bank account which I supposedly authorized and that it was paid out on the second. So I go crazy because there's no way of reaching them. I see they have a face book and I send them a friend request with a message asking them what the next step is n saying that I'm down for some extra fees n all but come on wtf! They respond within the hour and give me another number to eps financial and they tell me that they sent out a debit card from E1 visa prepaid card account. But that they Sent it to the wrong adress that they would be sending me another one and charging me 40 dlls extra because it would be express delivery. Now this was on Monday the 7th and I have not received anything not a . Penny and I also asked about my state refund and they said they don't know anything about it. When I have e-mails from them confirming that it was accepted by state. Also after I called on Monday they sent me two emails one was the e1 cardholder agreement with the link to activate the card once I got it, so how come I'm barely getting info if supposedly they had already sent it. They had my address wrong not my email. The number is (484)5462240 and 18663318756 for the card. What gets me is when u call the card number they say (to activate a card press 1, to check on refund status press2.) So I press 2 and it says to log on to www.wheresmyrefund.com. Because their agents couldn't tell . 1040.com should not be allowed to keep stealing people's hard earned money. The biggest crook of all gave me my money back but not so u could keep it.

They charged me for nothing. I was billed before even completing the filing process, and in the end I wasn't able to file because it said the amounts on two different lines didn't match, even though they did. I had to redo all of the work and paper file, despite the fact that they already charged me for $33. Please do not use this website. Because it's all automated, you don't know the values that they are filling in for some boxes and a lot of the numbers I found on my return thru the site seemed very random.

Went with them because it was an option on the IRS website, I got locked out of my account and you can only access the "help" button if you're signed in. The other option is to email them. They responded after 15 minutes, however, they only offer customer support via email. I told them I couldn't sign in and that the website was not sending me my forgotten login as it says it was. They told me to try it again. After trying, it made no difference. They then told me to just create a new account and that I'd have to re-pay for their services.

Thanks to 1040.com, I now have my routing and account number memorized, because I was forced to re-type it 3 TIMES. Why didn't their system remember all my direct deposit info, but it could remember my security PIN number at the very end?! And when there was an ID error in one of my W2's, and the IRS rejected it, they decided I qualified for twice the service fee, even though my income and refund hadn't changed.

I like nothing about this company; you get what you pay for. There was an error on my return and they gave me no information how to correct it. No customer support, no professional advice, a big "nothing burger".

Difficult to contact directly and when I did get ahold of a service associate they didn't even read my email before firing back a piece of useless advice.

Hi Draper! We’re sorry there was confusion about the cost of our state return when you filed with us last April. This year, we've switched to a flat-rate pricing structure that means everyone files their federal and state taxes for just $25. That includes as many states as you need! However, if you're hoping to file for free, we understand if you look somewhere else. Thanks for your feedback!

I was also charged for nothing. When I asked for a refund they denied it, stating they charged me for the calculations not the filing...

Hi Ryan! We see where the confusion might be coming from - whether or not a taxpayer gets a refund each year is determined by how much you paid in taxes throughout the year. Only people who paid more taxes than they owed throughout the year get a refund. It's possible that you didn't overpay your taxes, hence the "missing" refund. As for the charge, any payment to is a service fee to file your taxes on our website, and even users without a refund still have to pay for the service. We hope this helps clear things up - thanks for your feedback!

No telephone support, and their EPS product leaves much to be desired. Charged me way too much 39.95 to file my taxes.

There is no login page for returning users on the mobile version of their website. How dumb is that???
