Drake SoftwareReviews of drakesoftware.com

I have been a sole proprietor tax preparer for 50 years. Drake was getting very expensive with the cost per return method. The one user unlimited returns option allows me to service my senior clients and keep my rates withing their budgets. Having used Drake for over 20 years, I am happy with the software. It could be better in certain ways, but overall I am pleased with it..

I have used other tax softwares, and Drake has been a game-changer. First, it is reasonably priced! Instead of working to pay the software company, the software is priced so it is a tool. Secondly, the tax software accuracy and responsiveness to changes. Updates are seamless and integrated. Lastly, I hear from colleagues about the issues they are having, and I have smooth sailing during our busiest time of year. Customer service is excellent.

I have used the software for over ten years but then transitioned to my own practice this year. I can’t imagine doing something like this with unfamiliar software. Drakes integrations like portals, pay, and the tax book were extremely helpful and productive. Drake portals is almost like having your very own front office. It keeps communications organized and the ease of importing tax documents can’t be beat.

I would not use any other program. It is well put together. My favorite thing is that, if you make a mistake, the program either corrects it or tell you that you made a mistake and tells you where it is. My second favorite thing is that Drake has wonderful people answering the phone when you call for help and they ALWAYS know the answers.

I have used Drake Tax Software for 10 years. The software is very well designed to recognize and handle virtually every tax situation. Entry is easy and straightforward and entry data , once entered, is populated into every other related schedule. The best part of Drake is that their personnel can answer every question, no matter how unusual. The only wait times I have ever experienced are on 4/14 and 4/15 and then the wait time is less than 5 minutes

I used Drake Software for 13 years now. I had heard that UltraTax was so much better. So i switched for the 2025 tax season. What a mistake! By mid-February, I paid fort he Drake subscription and went back. UltraTax almost destroyed my tax practice. Using another tax program made me realize how good I had it with Drake. They also have the best customer service hands down. When I call, they answer right away. I only had to wait a few minutes one time at the peak of tax season. They always resolve my issue. With UltraTax, I ALWAYS resolved my issue while I was talking to their customer service. Their customer service reps had no clue how to use UltraTax or how to resolve issues. They were totally useless. You can't go wrong with Drake. Outstanding tax program allowing me to process and submit tax returns efficiently and accurately. With the other program, I spent most of my time searching and Googling where to find the screen I needed to enter date rather than actually entering the data. You will never go wrong with Drake Software.

It would be very helpful if the menu on the right would be collapsible to get to use the full screen for the workflow. Please and thanks
