 Doing Taxes yourself... May 15, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an excellient program if you want to do your taxes yourself.
It has an easy to follow instructions and if there is something in one of the section you do not understand, there are helpful explainations and help videos that go in depth into the topic.... I have been using the TaxCut for several years and feel at ease is completing them correctly. One year I decided to go into H&R and have them do it, thinking that they might be able to save me some money, but all they did was input the data like had done for years.
I was annoyed... I'm a single adult that rents and they did not go through any routes (deductions) that could have saved me anything.
Even if you own property, or a small bussiness, all the downloaded information is there and the help files explain everything....
What is even a better, compared to using the written form, as you follow thru the form... the computer automatic skips the sections that you don't need. As you answer the questions, you wind your way thru the complicated process of filing.
Only negative is that you do have to sit and do it yourself, it took me about three hours to complete. But what is great is that you can save it and go back to change something if you feel you made a mistake.
All in all worth the time and money spent...
 Taxcut version seems fine, rebate offer a pain May 9, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have used taxcut for the past 5 years, this version seemed to work without a hitch. Although E-file was no longer free, I bought this one with the Amazon/H and R rebate offer. The rebate process however was not good. I was sent a denial letter stating that i had sent the offer after the postmark deadline. Of course i had not! The denial letter arrived before the deadline, so how could i have sent after the deadline?! Also, working with the Rebate center to resolve the issue was a pain with many delays.

This works fairly well for me. It easily downloads the capital gains from Microsoft Money, the interviews are fairly straightforward. However there are a few areas (like foreign tax credit) where it should be automated but isn't. But on the whole it does a nice job, they just need to improve it a little every year then it could be a 5 star item.
 First year this program has let me down April 18, 2007

I switched to Tax Cut years ago after Turbotax (in 2003) implemented their idiotic validation scheme. I figured I was doing my part to punish Intuit / Turbotax. And for all those years I've been happy with Tax Cut.
Not this year. I found some major bugs which cost me a lot of time. I had my return done, but the numbers were seriously out of whack -- I know I didn't have that much income! Going back through the interview process didn't turn up the source of the added money. Only by checking the actual "Forms" did I find that several copies of 1099-Misc forms were hidden from the interview process, and by adding the same data in non-hidden copies, I was double entering the data. There was no easy way to recover. I eventually had to wipe the installation and start all over.
A call to tech support did absolutely no good. The person on the other end didn't seem to understand the problem with having "hidden" copies of forms going into the calculations. If those are hidden, what else is it doing wrong?
I'm not quite sure how do deal with this next year. Go back to Turbotax? Hope Tax Cut fixes its problems? Or go to a human tax preparer?
Whatver my choice, I'm not looking forward to it.
