You can purchase the professional program for the current and immediately prior tax years online. If you want to use a TaxAct professional edition program for an earlier year, call Sales at (319) 536-3571 for assistance. Go to our Previous Year Editions webpage for more information.

You can electronically file returns for the current and two prior years when supported by the Modernized e-File (MeF) system. Generally, the IRS allows electronic filing year-round, except for an annual maintenance period. See the FAQ IRS Modernized e-File System Shutdown Period for details.

If you no longer have access to your saved return file, you can receive a copy of a successfully-filed return from the IRS by calling 800-829-1040.
