DRAKE is NOT the quality product it used to be
DRAKE has been a wonderful tax product over the last 20 years. That all changed for 2026. The support was almost non-existent. All were were told was to go find the answer to our issue on the "Knowledge base" If I wanted to go hunt for the answer, I wouldn't need support. Also, the biggest disappointment is that DRAKE removed some calculations that have worked seamlessly for 20 years and now they made them a manual calculation. This is completely unacceptable. Most likely, we will be moving to a new tax software. DRAKE was an awesome product when they were family owned, but everything has slid downhill the last 2 years. It is NOT a product I would recommend to a friend or even a competitor

This was once a GREAT tax software company to work with but now that trust/love is gone
The customer service has fallen off a cliff since the sale a couple years ago. It went from a LIVE PERSON answering the phone call (before the 3rd ring usually) to the standard automated phone tree that drives everyone batty. I have asked for help for several years now with the auto backup of my files and nobody has replied or helped. For what I pay for this product the customer service is not up to par.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Matt.
I’m sorry to hear how much the shift in support and responsiveness has impacted you, especially after relying on us for so long. Going from quick, direct help to a more frustrating experience, and not getting assistance with something like your auto backup over multiple years, is not what you should expect.
We’d like to help get this addressed for you. Please reach out to our support team at (828) 524-8020 or email Support@DrakeSoftware.com so we can take a closer look at the backup issue and your support experience.
Your feedback matters, and we take concerns like this seriously as we work to improve both our product and support.
There were too many bugs this year
There were too many bugs this year. Forms with wrong calculations that were not fixed, workarounds that were not labelled correctly, crashes, and support that, while polite, were frequently unable to even understand the problem I was having.
I've used Drake for over 20 years; the quality of the program and support have gone down since the VC company purchased it.
I noticed Drake's response. I did report ALL of my issues to support. One of them back in January. As of 5/12, none of them were fixed.

Thanks for taking the time to share this, David.
I’m really sorry to hear about the issues you ran into this year, especially the calculation errors, unclear workarounds, and crashes. After more than 20 years with Drake, you’ve set a clear expectation for both reliability and support, and it’s frustrating when that experience doesn’t match what you’ve come to depend on. I also understand how concerning it is when support interactions don’t fully resolve or even identify the problem.
We’d like the opportunity to look into this more closely and help make things right. Please reach out to our support team at (828) 524-8020 or email Support@DrakeSoftware.com so we can review the specific issues you encountered and work toward a resolution with you.

Drake is Great!!
I've been using Lacerte and Ultra Tax in all my CPA career as a partner of a local firm. It is not until I left the firm and on my own and downsized my clientele I was recommended from some peers with Drake. I love it, not only because it is user friendly but it is in compliance more with the details of the questionnaires and descriptions. My peers and I talked, we actually were falling the default trap using the large companies' tax software and not paying attention to some important stuff as a tax preprayer. We appreciate Drake's tax program with detailed frameworks with explanation and researches so we can do our job better. And the learning curve is low for people changed from the major tax software companies. It was a great first year experience. Thanks, Drake Tax. And the Drake portal is great as well. All my clients had good feedback; it is so easy to use compare with others.

The new owners are greedy and put out an inferior product. It's not what it use to be. The keep adding options to make more money but the program had so many errors you had to spend more time making sure everything was done right. They couldn't even do a 2210 right.

We have used for over 30 years and this year computer froze up a lot and updates were difficult. I wish they had not sold or would have sold to someone who knows their business.
I will continue using as this is the best program I have seen for the type of returns we prepare and file. I hope they learn from this year and are a little more people friendly in support. No Holding and waiting forever for a call back. We should all be important to you.

Overall
Overall, this is a great product for a reasonable price. I have been very pleased with the user experience. I used to us Ultra Tax and found that for me, Drake has a more familiar interface. I did find that this season for a few weeks, when calculating or printing to Drake Documents, it took a much longer than it had in previous years. I am not sure that was a Drake issue or an issue on our side. Our IT company said that our server was running properly. I was relieved when things started processing as they once had so not sure what the issue was, but it was a bit irritating.

Thanks for your review, Chris. I’m glad the interface and overall experience have been a good fit for you.

Drake Tax User with very few clients.
I have been using Drake for tax preparation for a LONG time now. First, it has gotten MUCH more expensive the past couple of years. Secondly, it doesn't seem to change much. Errors related to foreign tax credit for example still don't have very good explanations on how to fix them. The software is not all that intuitive as you would think it should be.

We understand your concerns around rising costs, ongoing foreign tax credit errors, and the software not feeling as intuitive as it should. When issues like that slow you down or aren’t clearly explained, it can make an already complex process more frustrating.
