Pros: Walks you through all the programs.
Cons: Time-consuming to answer all their questions.
Summary: In a weak moment last week, I wandered through Wal-Mart's software looking at the tax software. I had not been able to get into a decent charging certified public accountant and I was frustrated by a couple of questions I had about selling some rental ... read more

Pros: Initial price inexpensive
Cons: Mail-in rebates - 3 of them - plus must pay $10 for state e-file
Summary: I could never get the videos to play – just attempting them crashed my computer – transporting last year’s data to 2002 went well – “interview” process was satisfactory – but what is advertised as $19.95 actually costs about ... read more

Pros: Interview format, installation
Cons: e-Filing, technical support
Summary: After being a loyal TurboTax user for years, I was pushed to try TaxCut-Tax Year 2002 after TurboTax-2002 added that annoying Product Activation "feature" this year.
Here were the Pros:
The installation went well. Product updates went ... read more

Pros: Easy to use, Low cost
Cons: Errors on state return, limitations on efile, poor support
Summary: I have been a loyal Turbo Tax user until this year, when I decided to be cheap and buy TaxCut. Hey, PC Magazine can't be wrong, right (TurboTax was editors choice by PC Magazine)? Well they were, you get what you pay for.
Installation ... read more

Pros: It comes in nice box.
Cons: Why waste your time? TaxCut creates frustration.
Summary: Don't waste your time. It's easier to do your taxes on a legal pad. I have used both TurboTax and now TaxCut and would recommend TurboTax over this anytime. I purchased both the State (2) and the Federal Deluxe versions. After loading the software, ... read more

Pros: No annoying product activation, as introduced with Turbotax 2002, better than doing by hand
Cons: some calculations wrong(e.g.AMT), not dealing w/employee stock purchase plans, less guidance&more cluttered than Turbotax
Summary: I had switched from Turbotax because I find the new product activation feature Intuit introduced as very offensive. I want to be able to upgarde my machine and still print my return. After more than 5 years of using TT, I found myself set back at least ... read more

Pros: intuitive,imports previous tax data, avg Joe can do complex return
Cons: UI needs improvement
Summary: CPA's could become obsolete with this package! (ok, not really, but humor me). I got a free copy of taxcut 8 years ago from my company and I've done my returns myself each year. The older I get the more twists my tax filing becomes, but Taxcut makes it ... read more

Pros: Somewhat easy to use.
Cons: The rebate process is designed to keep you from ever getting your rebate!
Summary: TaxCut boldly advertises ?FREE? all over the box. They claim that you get a rebate on TaxCut itself (fair enough) and that the TaxCut State program and E-Filing are ?FREE?. But once you start doing your taxes, you realize that you have to pay for both ... read more

Pros: Easy to understand. Hopefully accurate.
Cons: Crashed. Wouldn't update. Made me do my own legwork.
Summary: Program actually worked OK, but then refused to save what it had done, crashed, and made me start over.
The state portion of this program is pretty lame. The whole idea of buying the state portion was to let someone else do my legwork. I guess ... read more

Pros: absolutely nothing
Cons: misentered financial information, didn't accept information correctly
Summary: I've bought a lot of software, and I've had some good experiences. I've had some bad ones, too, but nothing nearly as horrifying as this one.
The product I am talking about was packaged as "Home and Business" but it was really two separate ... read more

Pros: Ease of Use, Price
Cons: Sometimes finding explanations is tedious
Summary: For the fourth straight year my wife and I have utilized TaxCut Deluxe to file our taxes. Formerly called Kiplinger's TaxCut, for tax filing year 2001 it's been renamed TaxCut from H&R Block (with advice from Kiplinger). I'm sure there's some reason ... read more

Pros: Have used for the last 6 years successfully
Cons: Software conflicts
Summary: I have used this program with good sucess for the last 6 years. This year was completely different. After completing my Federal return, I downloaded my State return. I could not open my state return (WI) because I kept getting an error message that would ... read more

Pros: Excellent value for money
Cons: Cumbersome to navigate
Summary: Its a good software, especially the Basic Federal version that comes for 14.95$

Pros: Easier than dealing with pen & paper
Cons: Unclear instructions, annoying flaws, crashes.
Summary: Past two years I have used TurboTax, a competing product, to file my taxes. This year I decided to try TaxCut instead. That was a step backwards.
Filling in forms is straightforward for the most part. I found it somewhat annoying that TaxCut ... read more

Pros: Tax Cut offers financial and tax cut planning just like Tax Cut Deluxe.
Cons: Glitches in the child investment reporting section that make me uneasy.
Summary: I am spurred today to write a negative commentary about a product that I have used faithfully for 3 years. In fact, I have written a positive epinion on Tax Cut Deluxe 2000, but you will not see this for Tax Cut 2001.
Several things have ... read more

Pros: Can compare different forms (1041, 1040A) and recommends the better one to use.
Cons: Extra money (14.95) for the e-filing fee and no toll-free assistance number.
Summary: Since I want my tax return monies a.s.a.p this year, I have again decided to use this software to assist me even though when I last used it it was dreadful. This time is worked better. It was still a little difficult to navigate through, and I found ... read more
