Drake Tax Online™: A Smart Cloud-Based Option for New Tax Pros
If you're a new tax preparer looking for your first professional tax software, you’ve got options — but some of those options may not be built with new preparers in mind.
That's where Drake Tax Online™ comes in.
Drake Software has launched a new web-based product that’s perfect for new preparers who want a fast, flexible, and secure solution.
Let’s walk through why Drake Tax Online is a great fit for professionals just starting their tax careers.
Work from Anywhere — Even on a Mac or Chromebook
As a new tax preparer, you may not have invested in a full office setup yet. Drake Tax Online works from any major browser, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari — so it’s compatible with Macs, Windows PCs, and even tablets.
That means you can start preparing returns from your home office, local library, or even a coffee shop — securely.
Easy-to-Follow Workflows for Form 1040
Not sure where to start when preparing a return? Drake Tax Online includes a guided 1040 workflow designed to walk you through the prep process step by step.
Prefer to dive right into the forms? You can do that, too. Drake Tax Online offers a flexible experience, allowing you to switch between guided and traditional data entry modes as you build your confidence.
Built-In Security for Peace of Mind
As a tax pro, protecting your clients’ data is your responsibility. Drake Tax Online has you covered with:
- 128-bit encryption
- Multi-factor authentication
- Automatic updates and security patches
No need to worry about installing Drake Tax Online updates or managing software security — it’s all handled in the cloud.
Used another tax software last season?
Drake Tax Online supports data conversion from other major platforms, so you won’t lose your client history when you make the switch.

- Drake Portals® – Secure file exchange with clients
- Drake Pay™ – Simplified payment processing
- Protection Plus® – Audit assistance for your clients
