Rating: Summary: 7+ year user of Taxcut - makes doing your taxes easy Review: Taxcut is excellent. It's just like having your own personal accountant right there with you. In fact, it has shown me where I could save additional money on a number of occasions. That alone has more than paid for the software for the entire time I've been using it. I also like how Taxcut helps make your tax return more "audit proof," and how quick and almost automatic it is. It uses an easy question and answer process. Then it prints out everything you need ready to send in (or e-file if you want). All in all, Taxcut is very easy to use and makes doing your taxes pretty darn painless. I've been recommending Taxcut to my friends and neighbors for a long time. It works.
Rating: Summary: No Product Activation / Spy ware Review: Purchased TurboTax as I do each year. This year due to big problems with the Product Activation I returned TurboTax and purchased TaxCut. Not only did I have no trouble running the software, it imported all of my data from last years TurboTax files.
Rating: Summary: My 6th year in a row with TaxCut Review: This will be my 6th year in a row to use TaxCut. In the past I have never had any problems with this software. It is so simple to do your taxes. I even have investment and rental house income and many deductions, it is nice to be able to do my taxes myself without having to pay an accountant. I especially like how easily it is to electronically file my federal and state returns. I recommend this software to all of my family and friends, it hasn't done me wrong yet.
Rating: Summary: Better than Turbotax Review: Buy TaxCut NOT Intuit's TurboTax. Intuit's TurboTax installs C-Dilla spyware, which hogs your computers resources, and doesn't get removed when Turbotax is uninstalled. You would also have to purchase a new copy or spend lots of time on the phone with intuit trying to convince them your not a criminal if you upgrade yoru machine. None of that is worth it, buy Turbotax instead!How dare they add anything that could remotely be spyware to one of the most sensitive things (Tax return) that's on my computer.
Rating: Summary: Will not import TurboTax file Review: I thought I'd try TaxCut since TurboTax decided to cripple their software this year. I can't say they compare well so far. First off TaxCut claims you can import TurboTax files from the prior year. I have tried every possible combination and filed a report to TaxCut support and have been unable to resolve the problem. To TaxCuts credit I submitted the problem on their web page and was called at my home the very next day by support. I doubt TurboTax would do the same. The program looks for old *.t01 files regardless of whether or not you select to import TaxCut or TurboTax files. So I thought maybe I'd do it manually. If you quit the program and save, it starts back up at the section of questions you left at, not at exactly where you left off like TurboTax. So you need to scroll forward to get to where you left off. It seems like a competent tax program but after being used to TurboTax I may take advantage of TaxCut's 100% money-back guarantee and get TurboTax again.
Rating: Summary: Ease + Value = Best Tax Software Available Review: H&R Block's TaxCut software is easy to use, and a big value for your buck. Once you include the cost of electronic filing and software for your state tax return, plus the short time it takes to get your refund, it's paid for itself. Particularly if you don't have a lot of complicated financial matters, this software is great, although it does make handling investments and deductions rather simple. Better than TurboTax, because it's less complicated, I'd recommend picking this up in January. Get your refund now!
