Drake used to be top notch budget…
Drake used to be top notch budget software, but lately their customer service has suffered a massive decline, their user interface for data entry took a major step back in 2025, and now for 2026 they are asking me to pay $1000 more for the annual package. So I'm paying significantly more for significantly less.
Comparatively the price is still good making it difficult, along with the learning curve for my staff, to make a change but I was tempted this year. The decline has been unfortunate though.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us, J McDonough. We understand how frustrating it is to see changes in customer support, workflow, and pricing all at once, especially after relying on Drake for years. We also appreciate you pointing out the impact the learning curve and overall value have on your decision-making process.
Your feedback about the 2025 interface changes and the 2026 pricing increase is important, and we take concerns like these seriously as we continue working to improve both the product experience and the support we provide. If you’d like to discuss your concerns further, our team would be glad to help at (800) 890-9500 or Support@DrakeSoftware.com.
Drake is excellent for the basic…
Drake is excellent for the basic returns - personal; partnership, S-Corp. Training is mostly great. Customer support is outstanding. Darke falls down on 990 returns - no training video's; limited to non-existent FAQ's/documentation; no training video's. Drake should consider interviewing new to Drake individuals to better understand issues - easy solves in training videos; FAQ's; etc. Have friends who have limitedly converted to Drake - they have issues and I do. Many easy solves. In some cases, Drake is far better to former tax software but Drake does not understand (in my opinion) how to highlight all their capabilities. We all run into that issues - forget that we have competitive differences because its something we do everyday.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, David.
We're glad to hear that you've had a positive experience with personal, partnership, and S corporation returns, and that our training resources and Support team have been helpful. We know how important responsive support is, especially during busy tax seasons.
We also appreciate your thoughtful comments regarding Form 990 returns. Your feedback about the need for more training videos, FAQs, and documentation highlights an area where additional resources could make a meaningful difference, particularly for newer Drake users. We also value your perspective on helping users better discover and understand the capabilities available within the software.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and suggestions. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving the resources and tools available to tax professionals.

Not happy with the corporate merger, etc.
Not happy with the corporate merger and the new Taxwell parent company. The user experience is becoming more "corporate" and less "personal". Customer service reps are more detached and less qualified. Don't like the EULA's and the principles behind them.
The software still works pretty well, but there have been small changes year-over-year which actually increased user friction (Taxwell's claims notwithstanding), were not improvements, and represented a lack of product stability.
Haven't found a good alternative yet, but definitely looking...

I have been with Drake for many years 30+
MOST importantly SERVICE. This year was not a fun year, with all the tax changes I can understand but I've called in more times this year than the 30 yrs total i think, due to so many flaws and error codes.
Service was not as good as it should of been- I had to call back 3 times with one issue.
I do hope this area improves.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us, Neva. We truly value the trust you’ve placed in Drake over the past 30+ years, and we understand how important dependable service is during a demanding tax season.
We’re sorry to hear this year brought more frustration than it should have, especially with needing to call multiple times to resolve a single issue. While this season included significant tax law changes and updates, we know that doesn’t make the experience any less challenging when you’re trying to get answers quickly and efficiently.
Your feedback is important, and we appreciate you being candid about where we fell short. If there are any unresolved concerns, our Support team would be glad to assist further at (828) 524-8020 or Support@DrakeSoftware.com. We sincerely hope your experience improves moving forward, and we appreciate your continued loyalty to Drake.
Not What They Used to Be
Drake Software was known for great customer service, a decent (but somewhat limited) tax prep software and affordable pricing for smaller customers.
Support has deteriorated. I'm often having to teach them about how their product works. They usually do little more than read aloud from their knowledge base.
The product has slowly continued to improve, but pricing has nearly doubled in the past few years. It's becoming expensive enough where it's causing me to consider alternatives. I would hate to do that since I do feel at the end of the day, this company does care about it's customers. It's just making it difficult for us to stick with them.

Drake used to be affordable they used to pride themselves of not increasing their price. They started to interduce large increases every year. They are giving less and less every year. I had an single user unlimited bundle for 2025 tax year for 2026 they are charging me more for 150 Tax Returns. I am considering changing. They know changing is a hassle so don't get started with them.
