Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: I used TaxCut for 2000 and had no problems, so I bought it again for 2001 and I have had nothing but problems with this year's program, I had to redo my taxes at least six or seven times because the program will not correct mistakes by the interview process -- and if you try to manually correct a mistake on the form, it warns you that you will NOT be allowed to e-file if you do that. The problem turned out to be "user error" but I interpret that as NOT "user friendly." The instructions were very vague and hard to understand. I finally had to complete my taxes on a paper form 1040 using the IRS's easy to understand instructions and then I was able to transfer that information into the program. In addition, the program also refused to allow me to e-file, stating that I was required by my state to file my state return electronically at the same time I filed my federal return (definitely NOT true!), and that I had to go back & purchase their state software program in order to complete that section. I had downloaded their update yesterday using the "update" button provided at the beginning of the interview -- however, when the program repeatedly refused to allow me to e-file until I bought their state program I realized that there had to be an error in their software. So I downloaded an update today using the "tools" button at the top of the screen - this time it was definitely a MUCH larger download and once the download was complete, the program finally allowed me to file!! What should have been a simple process took me two days and a LOT of aggravation to complete. Next year I'm getting TurboTax!

Summary: Last year's addition
Review: I used the TaxCut 2000 last year and found it to be very easy to work with. I had no problems what so ever and it took no time at all to complete. It asks all the questions that are stated very simply, and if you need further explainations you can get those as well. You can also get support from H&R Block or go to H&R Block's website for more tax information. I highly recommend this program and will purchase the 2001 edition for this year.

Summary: Former TurboTax User Prefers TaxCut
Review: TaxCut is great! Never any problems. Intuitively easy to use.
I was burned by Turbo Tax two years in a row. They didn't have all the forms I needed and the electronic filing didn't work. I wound up having to hire H&R Block to do my taxes. I tried to get the "guaranteed" refund from TurboTax, but nobody answered the phone number they gave you to request the refund. TurboTax was a big ripoff. Buy TaxCut instead--you'll be much happier.

Summary: Incredibly POOR
Review: The product should not be released to the consumer. I found sections in the application that said it was for testing purposes only and would be removed before production. Live update reports that I have the latest version. In addition, I get abnormal termination errors. My system is very well maintained and I do NOT get errors with any other applications.Would you thrust your taxes to such an application?

Review: The program crashed all the time. Tech support was a joke. I tried the product on several computers and set it up different a couple of time. Same results everytime, it crashed. Spend the extra 5 bucks and buy turbo Tax. I still can't beleive I bought this garbage, never again.

Summary: Former TurboTax User Regrets the Switch
Review: This software was pathetic at best. It made assumptions about certain forms and even tried to charge me self-employment Tax on almost $5000! Good luck if you need to go back and make changes.. If you do you'll find yourself having to manually choose forms and fill them out without a walk through or any worthwhile help. I hope I don't get audited!!

Summary: Average at best
Review: Yes, you get it for free and it has the H&R Block name behind it. But don't get fooled and expect too much. If you want to go back and add/edit entries to the tax return in progress, you can't be sure that the software will re-calculate everything. Alteast it allows manual entries, which is how I finalized my return. The software also has several disclaimers (on Schedules A & D) that they are not finalized. I will probably do a manual check of the numbers. I would go with TurboTax, which I used last year and was much better than this.
