Drake will just fail to process acknowledgments. You have to call in \& ask them to be redone, you can’t do it yourself. > > Drake is great. Takes some learning, as most tax software. Other than the occasional acknowledgement issue, recommend\! ----- ### "No vote if you don't use Rightworks." — 1.0/5 > **Michael** | *6 February 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have used Drake since 2013. I was always impressed with the ease of use and the customer support call-ins. That is, until this year. > > **Cons**: Up until this year, my only con was the online support was lacking. I couldn't always find answers in their knowledge base articles. > > It has been good until 2026 when we found out that Drake will not support their software unless you are a Rightworks client or have it installed on your local computer/server. We use a local cloud provider that has always worked for us using Drake without issues until trying to install Drake 25. It keeps crashing if we are able to get in, and now, it won't let us open it at all. No help from Drake in this matter because they are driving people to use Rightworks. ----- ### "Drake is THE tax software" — 5.0/5 > **Joy** | *22 September 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have used Drake tax for over 20 years\! They are simply the best\! The software is reliable and they have several options available so it’s affordable for the solo practitioner or a team\! > > **Cons**: Price increase has been hard to manage.i realize the added security and constant updates require top notch programmers. > > I will never use any other software as long as Drake Tax is available. The offer an all in one program. Customer service is always helpful and the software is accurate and reliable. ----- ### "Drake Tax is perfect for soloprenuers" — 5.0/5 > **Mitchell** | *16 July 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super inexpensive product that is ideal for solopreneurs and those doing taxes on the side when they are starting out. Pretty easy to get comfortable with the product quickly. > > **Cons**: It lacks some of the more robust features that can be helpful if you have a large team, but it's not really trying for that market. > > Customer service has been helpful and the team is willing to work to find the solution, product delivers on what it's trying to do. Definitely recommended as a cost saving alternative to the bigger products, although you probably need a little more tax knowledge to make sure you have the right information reported. ----- ### "You get what you pay for" — 3.0/5 > **Leo** | *17 June 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The main good thing about Drake software is it's very low price point. At times it makes you wonder how they're able to afford it. > > **Cons**: Clumsy navigation and lack of consistency, especially with the state returns. Lots of times you need to jump up and down the different tabs that are hidden within other tabs in order to find a missing checkbox. > > It's great for straightforward personal returns but horrible for businesses or anything that's more involved, such as international forms. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/176133/drake-tax?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/176133/drake-tax) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
