About

Taxcalibur is a Windows desktop tax-preparation and practice-management app for small tax practices. It organizes client records, returns, documents, checklists, reminders, contact notes, invoices and receipts, with encrypted client data stored on the user's device. For return preparation, it removes personal details before AI document reading, calculates federal Form 1040 and Colorado DR 0104 returns, fills official forms, and presents calculations for preparer review. Users can import PDFs, Word files and phone photos, track return stages, identify missing documents, send follow-up emails, and print forms and client summaries. Completed packages are handed off to Drake Tax for filing; Taxcalibur does not file returns. AI reading uses the preparer's own Claude account or connected assistant, and AI usage and Drake Tax are separate. The app supports 14 interface languages, while official IRS forms remain in English.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I had been using a renowned popular tax software for a few years. However this year the same software company seems, in its effort to extract more revenue, impose some unanticipated obstacle that cannot be resolved, and without ready support from the software company, I decide to get help from another CRA approved software company. This time I decide to use 100% Canadian company. After several searches, I chose TaxTron. Its software is written somewhat differently from TurboTax. So I have to spend some time navigating to know how to use it. Fortunately, it has a very STRONG support team offering friendly assistance. I did not have to wait a long long time before getting help from a knowledgeable personnel. The telephone service even advised on how many minutes wait before assistance was coming. My USD or other foreign currency denominated investments were automatically converted to CAD, without me having to find out the CRA recognised official exchange rate and painfully calculating each item,(like I did with TurboTax) and converting each into CAD!! When my e-filing of my Tax Return was rejected by CRA on some errors, I got assistance from DEETA, a soft spoken lady who was very knowledgeable and patient with me (I am not good with tax matters, and barely manage how to use computer). Within a few minutes, my corrected electronic Tax Return was finally accepted by CRA. I feel so lucky that I found TAXTRON. I do not have to wait for a long long time over the phone before getting help. I do not need to suffer constant disruptions of advertisements while preparing tax return. TaxTron's telephone support hours (during the month leading to tax filing deadline of April 30th) are long (I called once at 9:45p.m. and was still able to get help from a hard working staff !); and available on Saturdays. Although I got a bill of $49.99 instead of the $20 advertised online, I have No Complaint; and I will be using TaxTron next year and the years after, if they maintain the same excellent service. I will have no hesitation recommend it to anyone who need kind and speedy help filing tax return. By the way, TaxTron supports Window 8.1 if choosing web filing.
  • ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. There was Nothing to like, it was not user friendly, it was not intuitive it was horribly frustrating to use.
  • Cheap product, web based - there is nothing else that is good about the product.
  • Web version is great can be use from anywhere just given the suggestion to add for view and they are great listener
  • Expertise in tax amazing. Using TaxTron Windows for 5-6 years. Very friendly and professional software.

Cons

  • Better list out beforehand what price for what level of service; instead of $20 for a single filing as advertised, which is misleading. Please advise the person assisting speak slowly over telephone, especially if spoken English is not Canadian English, with heavy foreign accent.
  • Not intuitive, if you did not have basic tax prep knowledge you will miss way too many deductions. After working at CRA for over 20 years and doing everyone in the family tax returns for over 40 years there are some very BIG flaws with this system. Too many to detail, one BIG complaint, inability to go back and edit when you detect errors. Fortunately I spot errors and make the corrections and do up the paper returns, BUT rather defeats the point of purchasing the program to prep the returns does it not? I would NOT recommend this program to anyone who does not have a basic tax prep knowledge.
  • Besides the obvious - you can't use schedules for T2s. The balance sheet summary does not match what you enter into the details - when you call customer service, they hang up on you and tell you it's your entries that are the problem - except - it's not. The detail assets & liabilities are correct, the summary does not carry the totals over and therefore won't allow for the filing of the return.
  • Big fonts and spaces on the web version should be concise
  • nothing to say. Good to have a free license to use depending on the income
