Sorry if you have found that Christine - we always try to do our best to help even when the issue is outside of TaxCalc. Hoping that our response on Monday was able to clarify the issue.

Sorry about that - I can see that our technical team contacted you at 2.26pm on the 2nd March - were you able to resolve the issue based on that?

Sorry Sagheer - Checking our system I can see that we provided the details of the Companies House rejection notice - did that sufficiently explain the issue. Our support team maybe able to provide you with more advice about Companies House systems.
Friendly service

Ultimately my request was resolved to my satisfaction and the agent reverted to confirm but it took a long time (possibly due to having to involve a 3rd party)

Lots of unfixed issues - beware if planning to use
Lots of unfixed issues, which can happen to anyone so beware when using. Firstly, the software doesn't have audit trail - which is a basic requirement for softwares even those that are being used in house. When raised to support they simply say it's being developed.
Our first issue was not being to roll forward the 2024 tax return to 2025. We were told that our tcs file was corrupted - so nothing could be done. So we redid all our 2025 returns in tax calc - all good then submitted to HMRC. Few months later trying to access the submitted returns and it is not in the software. An hour with support and they don't know what happened to it. HMRC won't allow downloads if you use a software so we have just lost a filed return and have to spend HOURS redoing and resubmitting it - AND it could happen again as the team have no idea why its happening.

Sorry Sujashini. This is a very rare case and it was unclear what had caused the data corruption.

Taxcalc had a problem with windows on my Pc.As a result I could not load it. I have been using Taxcalc for more than 10 years without any problems. Taxcalc needs to correct the issue with Windows. I can’t be the only one who had this problem. Please fix it before the 2025/26 deadline.

Sorry to hear you had an issue this year - it looks as if you were able to make the appropriate submission though. We are working to solve what we believe caused the problem and it will fine for next year.
Not so good this time
I've been using taxcalc for a few years, but this year there was some error in the software that meant it crashed immediately upon opening. With the tax filing deadline approaching I appealed for assistance, having paid for the software but unable to use it. I eventually got the correct support (which involved me having to go deep into unknown recesses of my computer to rename taxcalc files) but this came after several messages that I sent via different means, reinstalling multiple times, and responses that were unhelpful and slow. It was a stressful experience.
