5 out of 5 stars Tax Cut Rocks!   December 14, 2005
 7 out of 10 found this review helpful

This year I switched from Turbo. Last year with Turbo I had a bad customer experience with someone that just didn't understand English very well. Their prices are too high and now this year they are charging us for efile. Tax cut is easier to move through and understand. They even included protection for an audit from the H&R Block offices.

Thank you, H&R Block. I am converted!



1 out of 5 stars TaxCut Deluxe + State 2005 Won't Install   December 14, 2005
 15 out of 21 found this review helpful

[...]I am a longtime Taxcut user (5 returns), work in the IT industry and know a little bit about computers and installing software.

I have heard about past problems installing Taxcut software but never experienced them first hand. My 4 attempts to install this product have all failed. After getting to 21% complete in the install process the install stops at a program called mmvdpro.swf.

I have tried all the tips recommended for installing the software including shutting down my firewall and anti-virus software (which is the equivalent of having unprotected sex when conected to the internet), but have had no luck.

I attempted to call customer support but after waiting on hold for over 45 minutes to speak with someone I gave up. I will be returning the product for a refund and buy a copy of TurboTax.

Hopefully, Intuit does a better job of quality assurance before releasing its products.



5 out of 5 stars Even Better. . .   December 10, 2005

I've been doing my taxes with TaxCut for the last few years. I just got my product and found it even easier to use then ever.

I like that it includes e-filed and audit support provided by a H&R Block tax professional.

I had a question and was able to call their 888 # and was able to get answers quick [...]. Not even for the phone call. How cool is that!

Bottom line, if you want a reliable, easy to use tax product, go with Block. They know their stuff. I am not sure if the other guys know tax like them. H&R Block have been doing it longer than anyone else and I trust them.





1 out of 5 stars Installation Nightmare   December 9, 2005
 16 out of 20 found this review helpful

Let me start by saying I've used Tax Cut for my 3 previous returns, with no issues whatsoever. So last year I pre-ordered when I filed my tax returns, and a CD arrived a couple of days back. I then tried to install it........that's when things started to go down hill. I should also point out that I've worked in IT for the last 10 years, so I know a bit about software and PC's.

The first 4 attempts to install all halted at the exact same spot, 21% complete, while trying to install a file called mmvdpro.swf in the ...help/us folder, no problem I thought, I'll look at their solutions on the web site, see if there's a patch or fix availabe, unfortunately there wasn't, so I decidedto open a trouble ticket with their customer service.

Initially they responded with a cut and paste of the FAQ from the web - asking me to reboot, when I had clearly stated in the original mail that I had done this twice. I replied asking for some real help, they told me to disable my Anti-virus and Firewall software "it should only take 5 minutes" they said. This is the most absurd piece of "help" I've ever been offered, first off; they don't even ask what AV or Firewall software I was running, secondly; do they know it's 2005, I'd no more go out into the street naked than turn off both my firewall and antivirus software. A couple of emails later, they told me to apply for a refund!!!!!!! Way to go guys. Now if I could install Tax Cut while disconnected form the web, disabling my security software MIGHT be an option, but you have to be connected to the web to install!

I've tried and tried to get the darn thing to install - all with no help whatsoever from H&R Blocks technical support. You wonder how a company becomes so succesful turning customers away.



5 out of 5 stars Now that's what I call a deal :-)   November 24, 2005

For years I have been buying Taxcut Deluxe and State as separate CDs just to get both the [...] rebate on Deluxe and the full purchase (not counting sales tax, pardon the pun) on State at the same time. Now with both in the same box, you get both CDs for the price of one with no need to mail in a rebate. A great deal for a great product that is very user friendly and from what I was told when I first bought it back in 2000, has more features than the competition (Turbotax). Get this great deal now while you can, and don't worry if it's early in the "tax season". The software allows you to get updates, so that the program has everything you need to file. Best yet, the IRS and most states accept your printouts in the mail when you file. Buy it now, and by April 15th, you'll be asking yourself "is next year's copy available yet".
