 Beware of multiple state returns February 12, 2008
Christopher R. Woller

If you must file multiple state returns beware of this product. Although the product allows you to download the appropriate software for one state, additional states are extra. No surprise. HOWEVER, TaxCut does not prominently let you know which of their state software versions allow for nonresident or partial resident state claims (there are at least 12 Vermont being one). If you do pay the fee to download the software for one of these states, there is no way to get a refund for the disfunctional software. I do not recommend this software if you need to file in several state.
 Wear a Helmet!! It crashes March 1, 2008

I have used tax cut for several years with essentially no problems. This version crashes constantly when starting a previous current return. You have to use browse and try to open. I have lost data from these frequent crashes. I think the 19.95 for e-filing is excessive. I had to amend my return and so I have to mail it. The support site is not very good. It has been a 5 but 2007 took a drop.

 Software declining in usefulness March 16, 2008

This is the third year I have used TaxCut Premium since TurboTax dramatically increased the price on their software for self employed business owners who are required to file Schedule C's (you are required to purchase TurboTax Business instead of TurboTax Deluxe now).
The first year I used it I thought it was very similiar to TurboTax in user friendliness, not quite, but close, and with only a $2 difference in the final results. Last year it seemed okay as well. However if this years version was the first time I ever used it it would also be my last.
I found that the 2007 software had very few user friendly 'tags' to help me know where to put many numbers that have been clearly explained(especially with examples) in the past. Just an example: last year TaxCut clearly stated exactly where to put my figures for cell phone usage. This year there was absolutely no reference to where I should put it at all. It also wasn't clear where to put my car vehicle registration numbers(there ended up being two options) and I found myself questioning where I had put it in the past and hoping that I put it in correctly (I just ended up putting it where I had in previous tax returns).
Don't get me wrong, I still used the software because I had already paid for it and installed it. Fortunately for me I have done my own taxes enough to know where most of the numbers go anyway. If not I would have chucked this in the trash and gone back to Turbo Tax no matter the cost.
So if your self employed and filing Schedule C's and you know what you are doing in regards to where your numbers go, you can still use it pretty easily. If you've never done your own business taxes before STAY CLEAR of this years TaxCut Premium.
On a side note, someone told me that even though it is no longer listed in the literature or on the box TurboTax Deluxe still will do Schedule C's for you and you don't have to buy the business version at twice the cost. Since I haven't wanted to risk purchasing the software and discovering they were wrong I haven't investigated further. If someone else knows if this is true or not please let me know!
Tax Cut not for Mac users March 29, 2008

Tax Cut is not for Mac users or those individuals who might have more complex tax retunes. After seven calls to the Tax Cut customer service line I finally had to transfer my returns to a PC to print out the Ohio Tax forms. I then discovered that Form IT-2023, which I needed to complete my return, was not supported by the Tax Cut software. So, I had to fill this form out myself by going to the Ohio State Tax website. Isn't this why I bought the software in the first place... not to have to fill out complex forms?
Tax filing year 2006 I used Turbo Tax with not a hitch and it generated Ohio State form IT-2023 with no problem.
I tried to save a few bucks and paid a big price.
error-ridden software and no technical support April 5, 2008

I've used H&R Block TaxCut successfully for 3 years. This year, the federal tax return software popped up a series of errors unrelated to any information on my tax return. I clicked the "fix errors" button which simply returned me to my tax return's main page.
I went to the "help" button and clicked the "what if I can't fix errors" link. Tax Cut's answer to the above question "click the ignore errors button and continue with the tax filing process. Please note you will not be able to e-file unless your return is error-free."
Deal with the inconvenience of sending in a paper return and risk an audit because Tax Cut software has a glitch H and R Block won't bother to fix? I don't think so. I e-filed my taxes with a competitor this year whose software was much more user friendly.
