 TaxCut January 16, 2008

I like this software because it is not bloated and slow like Turbo Tax and it is a lot cheaper. It also has e-file for BOTH fed and state and it STILL costs less. OK, I know TaxCut isn't perfect but I will still buy this over the more expensive Turbo Tax.
 Another Version that does a good job serving its purpose January 26, 2008

I've used TaxCut since 2003 and the 2007 version was just as easy to use as the previous versions. The only negative I found was that the software had to do a huge software update immediately, which really was not TaxCut's fault since the government decided to change a bunch of tax rules just before the end of year.
We also used the Deduction Pro for the 1st time this year and the refund savings generated from its use more than paid for the tax software. My wife and I donate a substantial amount of both monetary gifts and non-monetary gifts to charity. While monetary donations' tax write-offs are no brainers we've been severely underestimating non-monetary donations' values. Deduction Pro helped us identify our errors and in turn generated a few hundred dollars more on our return - nothing substantial in the big picture, but there is no reason to just give the government free money.
I also like that TaxCut now offeres an e-file package. Since I'm going to pay $30 to e-file anyway ($15 for federal, $15 for state), paying the cost up-front is very convenient. At Amazon's prices, the software really only cost me less than $30 when you take into account the e-file costs.
If we had simple taxes and only had to file a 1040-EZ, there is no way I would spend $$$$ on TaxCut software and e-file (it's too bad they don't offer a basic version anymore), but since we have to file a 1040 with dozens of supporting IRS forms, this software makes sense for us.
 Beware of faulty updates February 9, 2008

I've used Taxcut for many years and have been satisfied. However, my copy of the 2007 software is incorrect with respect to the AMT calculation. I've done all the updates and still it uses the wrong the values on form 6251, which will result in an overpayment of my taxes. Tech support has no solution, but has offered a refund. Still, the whole point is to avoid errors and this error is significant.
Next year will be back to Turbo Tax.
 Saves time, but has too many bugs... March 8, 2008

I have used Tax Cut for several years. Every year, it seems to carry some of the same bugs forward. For example, I was doing a federal and two state returns. I wanted to see the impact of making IRA deposits on my federal taxes. Then I went back and removed the IRA deductions. When I started my state return, it automatically entered the IRA deduction although there was not one on my federal return. I tried several times to remove it and had to resort to manually overriding it on the state returns.
I also had a different occupation when living in one state as opposed to the other. Tax Cut did not let me change it or override it.
Finally, after e-filing the federal return and one state return (I had two), Tax Cut said I was done! But wait a minute, what about the second state? It would not let me do anything with the second state except print out paper forms. I do know that Turbo Tax allows you to e-file up to 3 state returns. Tax Cut did not even want to paper file the second state return. If I was not paying attention, I could have been in lots of trouble.
Next year, I will be using Turbo Tax.
Very disappointed and frustrated March 8, 2008

I downloaded the Premium Federal + State + Efile. I've used Tax Cut for the last 3 years, and didn't have any problems until this year. The software is intuitive enough and I got through the federal part of the return fairly quickly. However, once that was done, it came time to download the appropriate state forms. When Tax Cut attempted to do this it gave me an error "Problem (28)" and said to "try again later". I did this over the course of a couple of days. It did not work. Since this was such trouble, I attempted to download the state portion manually. This did not work and said that it could not install essentially because TaxCut was not installed (it was installed, I had just done my federal return with it!)
I visited their support website and tried every solution listed for my particular problem (including the classic, "are you connected to the internet" solution) - I was, by the way. I tried uninstalling TaxCut and reinstalling. I installed on a different one of my computers. I disabled my firewall, and altered settings across the board on my PC, and still no luck.
I visited chat support, where I was instructed to do everything I had just done. They were of little help. Finally, I asked for my money back, and they would only give me a partial refund because the federal had loaded. I settled for that, because I had gotten a huge headache.
It seems to me that if I purchase a product that promises to help me with my Federal and my State return, I should be able to use it do that. If one component doesn't work, the product is defective.
Taxes are stressful enough with all the paper work and data entry. I will not add to my stress by purchasing this again. Use Turbo Tax instead.
