 TaxCut sent an incomplete return to the IRS, UNACCEPTABLE! February 18, 2008
bartjoebob (ManchVegas, NH)
This program will be liable for many filing problems this year. Complaints as follows:
1) The program's profiling questions are vague and without explanation of important terminology.
2) THE PROGRAM ASKS THE WRONG QUESTIONS to determine legibility of credits and deductions. My wife and I had a baby in November last year, the program asked if he had "lived with us more than 6 months in 2007" When we indicated "no" it completely skipped over the dependent care credit section even though we had qualified expenses eligible for the credit. I called the local HR Block office and they said that question was wrong and that Id have to file an amended return. Not only that, but the program sent form 2441, Dependent Care Expenses, INCOMPLETE as part of my return to the IRS! Does this mean I have increased chances of getting audited now?
3) Beyond technical support (java errors and pages not loaded etc.) there is virtually NO SUPPORT from HR Block to fix a problem like this. "You got people" is a gimmicky marketing campaign with no merit.
Next year, I'm trying TurboTax. Use Tax Cut AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I can't believe there are so many 1 star ratings February 22, 2008

It isn't perfect, but I had to chime in when I saw so many people bashing this program. I've been using TaxCut for 5 years now and this version had a video playback bug (on my old pc). No play button showed up and one video never did play at all. No big deal but I expect every feature to work. Also this year I was sure I'd found a bug. It was my fault but in all my searching I never determined how to report a bug if I wanted to. Maybe that's by design so people like me aren't writing them every time they make a mistake?
Pros:
- Asks you simple questions, then steps you through the tax code in plain English when situations apply to you and allows you to skip sections that don't.
- Shows you this year's return and last year's in a side-by-side form (although buggy).
- Price here is the cheapest I could find. Very useful bundle, I depend on Deduction Pro every year.
- The way it imports federal data into the (NY) state return makes the state return SO easy.
Cons:
- The way %difference from last year's entries are computed does not inspire confidence in the rest of the program. If numbers increased, no problem. But if a value went down ($13 last year, $1 this year = -$12 difference) displays as -1,200% difference! Ack, nobody caught this? I'm pretty sure that's -92%.
- My only other gripe is about the price. $50 was a hard enough pill to swallow but it's nearly $70 now. The software should be $20 and e-file should be free (aren't we making it easier on the IRS by doing this?).
 Tax Cut reveiw for 2008 February 22, 2008
Mark Twain (SK)
I purchased this product.
I used this product. It is good for someone with Knowledge of the tax code or someone who knows his way around the forms.
I purchased this product for two reasons:
1. It was less than turbo tax.
2. I had previously used it.
It was very straightforward and efficient. It came close to what I wanted to accomplish.
But, in the end I needed additional aid with my multiple and rollover Stock transactions. I was not able to locate my paperwork for these. Therefor I was in a jam. I also ended up getting turbotax.
The Turbo tax is has an automated feature in it that allows you to get the research history and do the computations for all the mulitple entries.
Conclusion:
PRO:
1. Good Product.
2. Well Priced.
3. Does what it says.
4. Stable.
Cons:
1. It is for the experienced user and the one that does not have significant detailed transactions(or for the one who is not organized enough with his papwerwork.)
2. Requires deeper understanding of the forms and there true functionalities.
3. Lacking some additional "features"/"widgets" for the normal/inexperienced user.

POST:
I ended up giving this copy to my Dad and Mum. They proceeded to use it. But they had the same comment. They liked Turbotax. It was more GUI....
 Price can't be beat February 22, 2008

Best price available. I've used TaxCut for at least 7 years and it's amazing how simple preparing and filing with TaxCut is. It asks all the right questions so all the correct forms are completed and you get the max refund. The price increase for this year's software was the only negative about TaxCut 2007.
Tried and true consistency, ...as always. February 23, 2008

Best price I could find anywhere this year. Easy online purchase and fast Free Super-Saver shipment. Arrived early. Installed cleanly with fast update downloads. Although, I have yet to put the software to use. I'm sure it will not be any different than the last ten years I've been saving money using this tax prep application.
