It depends on your client base. Both are good for the price and they have their strengths and weaknesses. I find TaxAct better for the W-2 or investment income clients. I prefer Drake for the business returns, including Schedules C & E. As most of my clients either have a business or rentals, I went with Drake some years ago and, largely, do not regret it. There are times, though, that I miss TaxAct.
