 Tax cut tax tables don't match Fed's January 26, 2007

I've used Tax Cut since 1996. But I'm switching products because H&R Block's Tax Cut does not match the Federal Tax tables. I got a nice letter from the Feds two years ago that I owed money and when I checked the Fed tax table against Tax Cut's, Tax Cut's was incorrect. Yes, I downloaded all the updates. So I paid the penalty and owed tax and chalked it off. Until last year, when I was doing my taxes and after finishing decide to match what Tax Cut said were my taxes for my net income versus what the 1040 form said. Again Tax Cut was wrong. So it doesn't matter how many bells and whistles a program has, if it is based on the wrong tax tables, your tax filing will be in error.

THIS CD DOES NOT INCLUDE THE STATE PROGRAM; you're required to download it from their site and it only works on the computer you download it to.
For security reasons, we do our taxes on a standalone computer (not connected to the internet). After an extended e-mail exchange and after I spent 45 minutes talking to 4 different people at technical support, the company confirmed that there is no way to download the state software (to a flash drive, for example) for use on a standalone computer. Finally, they agreed to send me a state software CD at a cost of $5.95, even though their packaging states: "TaxCut Premium Federal + State - One state program included at no additional charge"
 Cheaper Than TurboTax, But Not Worth It February 3, 2007

I used Turbo Tax for many years and every year it got better and better. Then I tried Tax Cut for two years in a row and was surprised how much clumsier of a program it was to use. I even ran into situations where I had to override TaxCut's built in methods to get certain things done correctly. I've never had to do so with Turbo Tax. I finally wrote on my file folder where I collect receipts for the coming tax years "Do Not Buy Tax Cut" so that I wouldn't forget.
If you are doing a simple tax return then almost any software will do, but if you have a more complex return with rental properties, investments, trusts or anything else beyond normal wage and salary income and the common deductions then TurboTax is IMO the way to go.
If your needs are fairly straightforward, then saving a few bucks by getting TaxCut might be OK.
Really bad for use year to year......... January 28, 2007

You can't print returns from last year using the new program so if you want to print you need to keep your old program and not only transfer data files but the whole dang program (if you have a new computer)...very bush league. I will be using something else next year!
 WHAT? There is free e-file! January 16, 2007

If you go to the online HR block website you can get free federal and state e-file with Premium Federal and State. Otherwise, there is a Premium + e-file product available as well on Amazon.
I have filed taxes using 1040, 1099, Schedule C, relocation, education, and dependant care expenses. I have never had a problem with the interface and any phrasing that I do not understand I can get clarified by the customer support. For extra security you can have it signed electronically by a tax professional.
