Is there a charge for each W-2?

March 11th, 2009 - Posted by Caitlin

The following post in our Reader Question series is an actual user submitted question. To maintain the integrity of the original question, we do not edit or change reader questions in any way.

Q: I have several W-2's. Is there a charge for each one or not [with TaxAct]?

A: TaxAct and other online tax preparation services do not charge per W-2. The pricing plans differ slightly, but in general you can expect to pay based on the number of federal and state returns you need to file.

To compare prices on tax preparation services, see our comparison chart.
