 Huge bug in TaxCut January 15, 2008
C. DeMers (Massachusetts)
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
There is a huge bug in TC that impacts PCs with multiple users. According to second-level support, the change that TC makes to the security settings for the "Program Files" folder is meant for the "TaxCut" folder INSIDE "Program Files". If you install TC, a second user may find that they cannot access any of the executables in "Program Files" as TC has set the security on that folder to essentially be private to the installer of the TC software. I found this only after my wife said she could not access her email software and I had to roll back the installation. I've made two calls to H&R Block, who tells me this is an "isolated incident." (not isolated for ME). I just tried the latest update via download and that did not fix it (H&R confirmed that they have yet to address this). The fix is not difficult. If they can set the security settings on "Program Files", they can "unset" them and do it right on another folder.
You can restore the settings by clicking on the "Security" tab in the properties setting for "Program Files." If you're not sure what to set the folder to, look at the settings before installing the SW or look at the settings on another PC.
 Security Risk: Requires Logging On as Administrator To Run January 13, 2008

For the first time this year, TaxCut requires the user to log on as Windows administrator just to *run* the application. This is a big security risk. Not acceptable.
Got a blank CD and no support January 3, 2008

I have used TaxCut for the past three years and feel it is the best tax software available for my personal and business use. I was dissapointed that they offer no deals for existing customers, so instead of using the full retail "upgrade" cd ($39.95) they mailed me, I shopped around and bought the same package on Amazon for $30.49 with free shipping. Well, when the Amazon package arrived it contained a retail package with a blank CD inside. I called HR Block for "support" and they said there was nothing they could do for me and to return the item to Amazon and buy it from them instead. I offered to fax or email them proof of purchase but they weren't interested. So, I am returning the item to Amazon and will no doubt buy it from HR Block now. I assume there will be no problem with the Amazon return as Amazon is a GREAT company, but be forewarned when buying this product that the same thing may happen to you.
Federal + State version charges *twice* for state return January 27, 2008
Thomas M. (California, USA)

I generally like TaxCut and have used it before, but ... The TaxCut Federal + State has an error. When I try to download the one state return which is included in the $34.99 price ... I'm prompted to provide my credit card information and pay *another* $29.99. I contacted customer service and was told that they didn't have an answer and would get back to me in two business days ... which they haven't done. So now I have a program that doesn't work, unless I pay twice. Anyone have a similar problem?
 It does not handle moderately complex returns January 7, 2008

It does not handle well moderately complex returns
I used taxcut for several years. It worked ok until I have the partial resident status. It could not create the correct returns with proper forms. When called Taxcut, they refused to answer my questions on how proper form/returns can be generated unless I send them my full returns, which I don't feel comfortable they will use it properly.
Will never use Taxcut again - you never know what else will go wrong.
