A stalwart in the tax software arena, TaxCalc has been around for a long time, with origins that stretch back to the 1980s. Originally from the Which? brand, TaxCalc got sold to Intuit in the early 2000s. Then, in 2005, Acorah software acquired the program TaxChecker, bought back the TaxCalc name from Intuit, married the two together and the modern version of TaxCalc was born.
Today, it boasts quite a bit of popularity with more than 60,000 individual, business and accountancy practice customers that are submitting nearly 1 million returns annually. TaxCalc is just one of several tax software options that include FreshBooks, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Business Cloud Accounting, Kashoo, Zoho Books and Kashflow.
