1 out of 5 stars TaxCut Deluxe + State 2005 Won't Install   December 14, 2005

[...]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.

[...] I cannot get past 21% in the installation process. I have tried to install eight times, four times on each of two copies. I [...] hope that Block comes up with a fix. I have been a loyal TaxCut user for years, and don't want to switch to TurboTax.

I used Turbo Tax last year and decided to buy this [...]. My first mistake. Taxcut installed fine, did import the data from Turbo, and has a lot of features. The problem is it somehow transferred the wrong data reference other state and local taxes. The amount is far to big, I don't know where they got the data, and they give zero help in the way of explanation. I had a couple of other questions so instead of trying to return I upgraded to State premium where they are supposed to give you access to a tax advisor. They direct you to a local office where they tell you to call another number. I called the other number which was disconnected. I call back the office and get the run around. I attempted to print schedule A, where it shows the problem deduction, and right at that spot (line 5) it stops printing schedule A and prints a blank remainder of the page. In trying to print the remainder of the form it sends an error to my printer and stops printing in the middle of page 7. I'm glad others have had luck with the program but I find it to be seriously corrupted, customer service non existent, and it to be a major waste of time. I plan on disputing the charge for the [...]premium upgrade and bringing this back and hopefully getting a store credit toward Turbo Tax. If not I'll eat the cost and get Turbo anyway. You have been warned.


1 out of 5 stars I will never purchase TaxCut again!!   January 12, 2006

I received an email at the beginning of Dec from TaxCut saying they were mailing me the software for 2005 and it would arrive in a few days. Well, I never received it and I later learned that they (mistakenly) put customers' Social Security number on the mailing label! Now I am terrified that someone stole my CD and has my SS number. I have gone to the website to try to find out when my CD was mailed, etc, but I found it extremely difficult to find a tel number. I finally found one but you have to go through a complex maze of prompts. I have yet to find a way to get a live person on the phone. I think this is a sloppy and irresponsible company. I'm going back to TurboTax - the software is the same stuff.


2 out of 5 stars Very Lacking   January 9, 2006

This program doesn't break down the deductions and credits very well. You don't know what exactly to put in what deduction or credit. Turbo Tax has it though, turbo tax is about 20 times easier to use.


We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
