 Skip this program if you have investments or a business March 19, 2007

This Tax program is woefully inadequate for other than routine returns, and even then it has some real limitations. If you have a business, trusts, etc, it tends to fall apart. Worse, if one struggles with it trying to complete the interview for forms like K1 (and others) and then go to "Open Forms" to look to be sure it came out OK, the forms it opens are blank; you cannot find the consequences of your interview replies. It would appear that you cannot use the program without the interview either; it blocks directly filling out forms if you just want to manually enter your tax info; or does not include such worksheets properly. It was a waste of money for me. It gets 2 stars rather than 1 since it likely meets the needs for some.
 It works fine. February 8, 2007

I seldom do reviews but after reading the most recent poor ratings I had to speak up. I've used TaxCut since 1999 except for 2004 when I decided to try Turbo Tax again. (I used Turbo Tax for a few years in the early 1990's then decided to go back to manual mode.) Turbo Tax also worked fine except I couldn't file electronically. The software refused to work and my DSL connection worked fine for all other Internet activity. So I filed by paper that year and went back to TaxCut for 2005. I just read someone's review in which they said that TaxCut's tables didn't match the Feds. (and he said he downloaded all the updates.) Well, I haven't had any such problems with any of my returns and if their software did make a mistake, the person should contact H&R Block. It clearly states that if their software made a calculation mistake they would reimburse you the IRS penalties plus interest.
 Don't buy this February 9, 2007

Worst tax software I've ever used. I have used TurboTax in the past and didn't this year because of the price. I wish I'd just paid the extra money. This is hard to use and has defects that won't let me complete an accurate return. I finally got in touch with technical support who said they'd call me in 24-48 hours.
Used to use this product successfully February 15, 2007

and so when they mailed me the free software for my Mac, I decided to use it again. We have rental properties and when I started to input the information, the software quickly recommended upgrading to premium. Ok, so I did. Now, I have to ditch this whole return and buy Turbo Tax as well since it's screwed up my rental figures by applying "real estate professional" to one property only. It's mysteriously disallowed my depreciation.
The questions the program asks are lockstep and don't give enough straight forward help (like the other reviewer it was recommended that I read some lengthy IRS pamphlet- that's a great help-- thanks a lot!!) and it is difficult to know where it goes wrong in the interview. I think this software was rushed onto the market without enough testing.However, I'm sure that if your return is fairly simple and not 35 pgs long like mine, it works OK.
A failure with WV state forms February 18, 2007

My husband reached age 65, and WV forms apparently require us to separate his income from mine to get a deduction. Even thought I'd "told" Taxcut whose income was whose when I entered this into Federal, program failed to transfer this info to state forms, so I had to add up income amounts again (lazy programming on their part). They also did not have in their package TWO forms that I needed for WV: Neighborhood investment credit (unusal, so I might understand that) or Penalty for Underpayment (no excuse for them not to have that). Very frustrating!
