Summary: Only good thing was the price
Review: Found it difficut to follow and the first time through some entries were not correct and on the wrong lines. After going back several times and very carefully checking the return is correct I hope. It would have been much easier to have made the entries on the 1040 Forms.

Summary: CPA finds this tax package to be of little value
Review: I am a CPA who previously prepared 1040's, but now prepare only 1120's. I bought the 2000 version of this software simply to help me crunch numbers for my own return. I know tax law and figured Tax Cut could do the math for me.The software was infuriating. My needs weren't very exotic, but I nevertheless found the package difficult to navigate. The tax "assistance" offered bordered on malpractice. I ended up having to hard code some entries just to make it work. Run from this package! You'll be happier buying a pencil and doing it yourself!

Summary: I should have known better...
Review: I do not do this too often, I usually try to remain positive. At this moment I am looking at my tax return that was returned to me by the IRS. I should have known that there might have been something wrong when the program asked me to find specific answers to my questions on the IRS web site. I use tax programs to help me file, given that I do not know all the current tax laws, I did not expect the program to ask me to find the answers to my own questions. Taxcut took me twice as long to file then when I use Turbo Tax. Errors were hard to correct and manual corrections would void your ability to file electronicaly. A full day went into preparing my taxes and now I will have to spend another day redoing my taxes with Turbo Tax. I do not think I will ever use Taxcut again. I would like to close this review on a positive note, but I can only say that I am positive that I will not use H&R's products again.

Summary: Great Product
Review: I have used Tax Cut for 3 years and have been very pleased. I have several complicated tax issues such as rental properties, capital gains and losses from various sources, and IRA conversions. This program handles them all without any problem.

Summary: Taxcut Quality has taken a nosedive.
Review: I have used Taxcut at least 6 years now. I used Turbo Tax Deluxe once between tax years and returned back to Taxcut because it was a better price. This year I was ripped off. I should have gone with Turbo Tax. Not only did the software crash on XP, but it crashed at the end of my "Interview" of entering in all my information. Locked up every time I got to this point. There were also a few points along the way where data was lost for charitable contributions and a couple of other worksheets. In all I think I had at least 4 quirks to work around in the software. I did eventually figure out the lockup problem and got my taxes finished. Then after downloading the CA State and e-filing I spent another $45. I could have paid a tax guy to just do all my taxes in the long run. Taxcut will never get my business again. I am going to Turbotax next year.

Summary: Used it five years!
Review: I have used TaxCut for 4 years and this will be my 5th. I had taxes prepared by a professional for years and find this software asks the same questions he did...but without an hourly charge! If you buy the non-final edition you can expect some idiosyncracies...it's best to wait until the final edition is published as tax laws change right up to December 31. This is true of ALL tax software. The only thing I would change are some of the explanation screens; some seem not complete, and others are jargon-filled. A good all-around buy for basic tax-prep!

Summary: Fine Product
Review: I have used Taxcut for the past 2 years and will use it again this year. When I first started using Taxcut I did my taxes on paper first then entered all the information into Taxcut. Not only was it exactly as I anticipated but Taxcut even found a few errors in my own interpretation of the forms. I then checked with the IRS web site to find out where I went wrong and Taxcut was right. Thanks to Taxcut I find it very easy to do my taxes and have had zero problems with the program crashing or the way the program figures my taxes. Everything is the same as I have been doing for years.
