Access TaxAct Professional from anywhere, anytime.
TaxAct Professional, delivered through a managed remote desktop — encrypted, backed up nightly, and priced simply enough for a one- or two-person practice.
Same TaxAct Professional. No local server.
TaxAct Professional is a favorite with solo preparers and small firms for its straightforward pricing and clean interface — but it was still built around a single Windows desktop install. Hosting takes that same install and puts it on a managed server, so a solo preparer or a two-person office gets remote access without taking on server management themselves.
Work Wherever You Sit Down
Home office, coffee shop, or client visit — TaxAct Professional looks the same.
Add a Preparer Without Adding a PC
Bring on help during busy weeks without buying or configuring another machine.
No Office Server to Maintain
Skip the cost and hassle of in-house hardware for a solo or small practice.
Backups Happen Without You Thinking About It
A dead laptop the week before a deadline stops being a crisis.
Pay for What the Season Needs
Add capacity in tax season, scale it back once filing slows down.
Same Software, Different Login
TaxAct Professional behaves exactly as it does on your current setup.
TaxAct Professional, without the desktop limits
Nothing about TaxAct Professional’s screens or workflow changes. The only difference is that the application now lives on a server built for uptime, not a single office PC.
Security you can show clients
Tax data is the most sensitive information your firm handles — Social Security numbers, income records, bank details. Our TaxAct Professional environment is built around IRS Publication 4557 and FTC Safeguards Rule–conscious practices, giving you documentation for your own compliance obligations. When a client asks how their data is protected, “hosted with SOC 2–aligned controls” is a very different answer than “on the front-desk PC.”
Data encrypted in transit and at rest
Multi-factor authentication on every login
Point-in-time recovery, always current
Data centre infrastructure controls
Information security management
Payment data handling standards
Uptime SLA — your team isn’t locked out during peak filing weeks.
Secure server locations, close to you
Our data centres sit in low-risk zones shielded from natural disasters, with enterprise power, cooling, and network redundancy — positioned to keep latency low no matter where your team logs in from.
