Summary: Business return disappointing
Review: (I have not yet used the state yet, but) using the business return was very frustrating. Program would unload on every error, so I would lose my work and have to go back. The interview always started from the beginning. I could not name my return (it just saved somewhere). I deleted a worksheet, but the entire 1140 form was deleted.
For the money I saved, I burned it in labor. I will go back to Intuit next year.

Summary: Won't use again
Review: I found this software package to come up very short. I purchased this edition only to find out later,in the very very small print, that I needed the business all-state edition to do the state return. (Intuit's is downloadable.Taxcut is not.) The personal state tax software won't work either. I searched every office supply and computer store in raleigh and could not find a copy of the business all state edition.I did not like the process to fill out the federal return either, nor the way it printed the form. I found it very cumbersome and impossible move around during the "interview". It was my mistake though, I have alternated every year between turbo tax and taxcut for the last 12 years, I cannot seem to remember that intuit is the one that I like so well. I hope I don't make this mistake again. I have found the purchase of TaxCut to be very inconvenient.

Summary: Steer Clear of Tax Cut for Business
Review: I purchased this product because the price tag was right (half the price of the comparable Turbotax product). As the saying goes you get what you pay for---except in this case you get less! I had to download over 200 forms from the website, the program crashed several times while doing this. Some of the shortcomings include: The program doesn't remember you to where you left off in the interview process so you must start at the beginning or manually find your location More detailed tax explanations are cumbersome to get and often must be downloaded from the site The program also would "forget" information that had been input. For instance, the depreciation worksheets would accept data, not do corresponding calculations, and at the end of the input process, behave as if you hadn't just created that item's record It's almost as if the program were created for people who already knew what they were doing, but just wanted some automated assistance (minus the outright bugs of forgetting inputted data). In any case, as a Turbotax user from previous years, I'd recommend that product hands down over Taxcut. I haven't used the personal tax portion of this package, and I'm not going to.

Summary: Don't buy this product
Review: It is awful. The interview process asks all the easy, basic stuff, but when it comes to the tough parts like filling out schedules, you're on your own. The "free state software" is not the business edition. It's for personal taxes. Pure deceit. And guess what? The only place you can buy the Business Tax State edition is through TaxCut for another [$$$]. Pure greed.

Summary: Easy to use but misleading!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This software was very easy to use - I would give it five stars based on the user friendliness. However - I am a bit frustrated by the fact that they mislead people into believing it includes free state tax software. Yes - it does - but it only includes personal state tax software, not the business software. Is this a personal federal package? NO - it is a business package it should include a business state package. Just another way to trick the public into buying something based on a misleading gimmic!

Summary: Very misleading, not easy to use
Review: This software wasn't ready for prime-time. It crashed a number of times while downloading updates, printing, or just moving from form to form. The user-interface was kludgy, and not smart enough to reuse information - for example, I put in my home address five times, once for each Schedule K, once for each form. The business side was much worse than the home side, to the point where I downloaded the IRS instructions and figured things out myself. I wouldn't buy the business product again. As the other reviewer said, the box was misleading in terms of what was provided.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: While the personal return, both federal & state were OK, they were difficult to get accustomed to and even after doing several returns, difficult to navigate around in. Also had a hard time printing which may or may not be related to the program, but don't usually have a hard time printing. The Business software was appealing because it had fiduciary (1041) forms. It did, but it didn't do much other than let you type them in and do the math for you. It was also very maddening to find that in order to get state forms [an additional fee] was required, even though I only needed one state. What's with that???? The advertising info says that state forms are included... it doesn't say only for personal returns. A "chat" with HR Block, was a relative waste of time. I might use thier personal tax software next year, but I sure won't buy the business package again!!!
