Highly recommended for small businesses ----- ### "Support essentially nonexistent" — 1.0/5 > **Barbara** | *February 15, 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It prepares basic returns accurately. Here are more words to meet the one hundred word minimum requirement. > > **Cons**: It is super expensive. Fine. The real problem is that when there is a complex support issue, you can only get a very inexperienced, junior agent who cannot solve the problem. I have been a customer for 30 years and have essentially given up on calling for support because it is a complete waste of time. I wish I had selected a product that would provide real customer service. > > Extremely disappointing. I pay a very premium price and I get nothing but very substandard support when a complex issue is encounter. I am completely on my own with no support from Lacerte for which I pay a lot of money for. ----- ### "Lacerte, the powerful tax software" — 5.0/5 > **Giselle** | *December 18, 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it handles a wide range of tax types (individuals, corporate, partnerships, etc.) and its built in diagnostics/validations that helps reduce errors before filing. > > **Cons**: The customer service can be inconsistent with the help that they provide. Also, I appreciate the frequent updates but at times it can interrupt workflow especially during tax season when firms are trying to push out high volumes of tax returns. > > Overall, using Lacerte has been a pleasant experience. It's a powerful and reliable tool for our tax accounting firm. ----- ### "Terrrible Support" — 1.0/5 > **Corey** | *February 9, 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: We've been a Lacerte customer for 30+ years. Software has been the easiest to use of the big tax software names. > > **Cons**: Support has tanked this year. The Lacerte database has corrupted many individual files and tech support says there is nothing they can do and aren't allowed to escalate the issue. This happened last year and they were able to resolve the issue after escalating it to another team > > We're done. Tech support can't do anything and the Lacerte tool hub if broken. Support says they are working on it but its been years since its worked. ----- ### "A capable, premium professional tax software" — 4.0/5 > **Russell** | *December 9, 2021* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using Lacerte for 18 years and so I am extremely efficient in using it. It allows us to prepare a high volume of returns with minimal fuss, and the diagnostic checks are good at catching oversights and errors. The printed return forms, statements, client letters, etc look professional and polished. > > **Cons**: It is costly, and goes up each year, although competitor products with similar capabilities charge similar prices . Also, if you stop paying for new software you can’t efile returns for past years that you did already pay for. All significant improvements to the workflow or product capabilities are sold separately as an add on, further increasing the cost. Support is very slow. It frequently takes 30-45 minutes to talk to someone. For a product with premium pricing this is absolute garbage. > > We have a strong love/hate relationship with Lacerte, it’s painful to pay the high cost but we are very familiar with the product and it is very capable overall. Basically Intuit has us right where they want us as competitor products are priced similarly and so there is no meaningful incentive to switch software. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1016813/lacerte-tax?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1016813/lacerte-tax) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
