📂Back Tax FilingAbout TaxAct
TaxAct is primarily a tax preparation software platform, but it also provides tools and resources for taxpayers who need to amend prior returns, file back taxes, or understand IRS notices. While TaxAct is not a full-service tax resolution firm, its affordable filing options make it a practical choice for individuals who need to get compliant by filing unfiled returns — often the first step in any tax relief process.
