Drake is excellent
Drake is excellent. The product is well structured, relatively easy to adapt from earlier ones. The help line answers immediately, with no delays, and accesses the applicable help source immediately. No delays answering. Cost-effective.

After using Lacerte tax products for 30…
After using Lacerte tax products for 30 years, I found Drake to be comparable if not better and easier than Lacerte - the price was beyond belief - I just couldn't believe a program that provided everything I ever needed at a FRACTION of the cost of Lacerte. Even though I was just learning the program, I was able to complete return and track them faster and better than I ever had before!!

Thank you for taking the time to share this, Debra. We’re glad to hear the transition from Lacerte has felt smooth and that the ease of use and pricing stood out right away.
It’s especially great to hear you were able to complete and track returns more efficiently even while learning the program. That kind of improvement can make a real difference during the season.

Drake software is Worth a Time Investment
I have found Drake software intuitive and easy to use - but KIM all software comes with a steep initial learning curve, excellent customer service, feature-rich (multiple ways to do automated billing, scheduler, organizers for clients, etc), a useful and helpful video library, and more. As a CPA who has used different tax software over 40+ years of practice, I have zero complaints with Drake.

David, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. It’s great to hear that the features, flexibility, and available resources like the video library have helped make the investment worthwhile over time.
Reality Check
First, any professional who thinks any software is more than a calculator is fooling themselves. Any software, their guarantee is that it can add and subtract. DRAKE like any other software evolves with the tax code and yes, it doesn't do some things (some of those restrictions come directly from the government entities). And, if you think the customer service reps should know everything about every issue with the Fed, 50 states, plus territories, and local forms, you are fooling yourself. Drake customer service does a GREAT job. And, yes the price went up, but it is still relatively affordable. However, they changed their unlimited package to unlimited personal and an add on for business returns and they didn't make that clear for this most recent season. I had to purchase business returns.

Kerrie, we’re grateful you took the time to share this feedback. Your perspective on how tax software fits real-world practice, and your recognition of our support team, means a lot. We hear you on clarity around unlimited personal returns versus business returns and the add-on for business work; feedback like yours helps us communicate packaging and options more clearly for preparers in the seasons ahead. If you’d like to walk through your account or licensing options with someone directly, our team would be glad to connect with you one-on-one at (828) 524-8020 or Support@DrakeSoftware.com.
Worst year ever
Worst year ever. 2025 was absolutely horrible with Drake, especially non 1040 returns. The software was so slow, would freeze or crash, and don’t even bother calling to ask Drake about it. They will blame your setup, even though it’s the same setup you’ve run with them for years. I know it’s not our setup because I could open 2024 Drake, and it worked great, but 2025 was extremely slow. I think it has to do with their new workflow hub that was useless.
Drake was always considered a popular software option, especially for the price point. With the amount of issues we’ve incurred the last two years, and the price being more than double what it once was, we’re looking into other options.

Thanks for sharing your experience, William. We’re sorry to hear how challenging this past year has been, especially with performance issues on non-1040 returns.
We understand how frustrating it is to deal with slow speeds, freezing, and crashes, particularly when your setup hasn’t changed and you’ve had better performance in prior years. Your concerns about the workflow hub and the impact it’s had on usability are also important, and we hear how that’s affected your confidence in the software.
We’d like the opportunity to look into what you’re experiencing and see how we can help improve performance. Please reach out to our support team at (828) 524-8020 or email Support@DrakeSoftware.com so we can review your setup and escalate any underlying issues.
We appreciate your feedback and the time you’ve spent sharing it.
I can't say enough good things.
Drake provides a great product that is accurate, priced reasonably and easy to use. The service, although not needed much, is exceptional. The person that answers my call is the person that cheerfully solves my problem or answers my question. Drake obviously cares about its clients.

Drake is FANTASTIC!!!
Drake is FANTASTIC!!!! I am an 84 year old practioner (CPA) three years into semi retirement (Kept only my tax practice). Switched to DRAKE in 2024 after 30+ years
paying outrageous sums to CCH Prosystemfx. Should have made the switch years ago.
Drake was esy to convert over, ease of use is wonderful, support has always been there for me in real quick time, and price is amazing

Drake Desktop usage.
I've used Drake for many years, and with each improvement the service is less easier to maneuver and more complicated. They are now using a comment after each help, and the survey takes too long and keeps the preparer from working with the client on a timely basis.
With this being said Drake customer service is the best.

nice program for the cost
For the Price, it is a very nice program, but It times you out after 30 minutes which I find very annoying. If I'm delaing with client emails or doing my own record keeping such as scanning or inputting my bookkeeping I have to make sure an dopen a client or something just so I don't get locked out. Other than that I't a good program for the cost.

We appreciate you pointing out the timeout behavior during your workflow. Balancing tasks like client communication and bookkeeping alongside return prep can make that more noticeable.

Thanks for sharing this with us, Daniel. We’re sorry to hear this was your worst experience after more than 20 years with Drake.
We understand how frustrating it is when a product you’ve relied on for so long doesn’t perform the way you expect. That kind of change can make it difficult to feel confident heading into a busy season, especially when you’re comparing other options.
We’d appreciate the chance to talk through what didn’t work well this year and see how we can help. Please reach out to our support team at (828) 524-8020 or email Support@DrakeSoftware.com so we can review your experience and assist further.
Your feedback means a lot, especially given your long history with us.
Tech support is not great
Tech support is not great. Support people are evidently reading the Drake information that I can find online. I need to demand to a more knowlagable support person (next level) I very rarely call as I can do my own research but when I do I need someone who knows taxes and the program.
This season was rough enough without having forms approved IE: 1040ES and others.
I have thought about moving to another program after using Drake since 2014.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Leslie. We’re sorry to hear this season has been so frustrating, especially when you needed more knowledgeable support and didn’t feel you were getting it.
We understand how important it is to reach someone who can go beyond basic guidance, particularly when you’ve already done your own research. Having to push for higher-level support and dealing with delays like form approvals only adds to the challenge during an already demanding season.
We’d appreciate the chance to connect you with the right team and review your concerns in more detail. Please reach out to our support team at (828) 524-8020 or email Support@DrakeSoftware.com so we can escalate this and provide the level of assistance you’re looking for.

I have used Drake for many years strictly for tax preparation. The add-on products are a waste of time for me. The program works very well. I rarely have to call tech support. Most input is very intuitive. However, tech support has declined in recent years. I usually end up hanging up and figuring it out myself. Support techs are using some kind of AI search engine, and the responses have been idiotic.
