Buy TurboTax instead [Posted on 2006-02-20]
I've been using Turbotax for a few years now, and decided to try Taxcut this year simply because it was less expensive. It was a mistake. Taxcut was not able to update to the latest version, even tho it kept trying. I finally had to manually update the version, but Taxcut still did not recognize it. None of my forms would print without the update. I then bought Turbotax and was finished with my taxes in 1.5 hours. The difference between what Taxcut said I owed and what Turbotax said I owed was $1300, well worth the higher price of Turbotax.

Comments on Tax Cut Premium [Posted on 2006-03-17]
I had to wait until late February for HR Block to make
current updates to TaxCut 2005 Premium before I could
complete my tax return.

I was not able to see any of the forms TaxCut was
filling out until after they were all completed and
ready for printing and filing. This is just a bit
too opaque for my taste.

Premium TAXCUT evaluation [Posted on 2006-03-30]
This software program offers two major advantages over its immediate completion:
1. Will ship to an APO address
2. Mix and match program offerings--such as choice of Premium Federal configurations without having to accept a State program.

I include investments and rental property in my return and found TAXCUT covered them well. However, one should not become too complacent as they plug in the numbers. Always review the completed forms, after printing them out, to insure accuracy and guard against double entries.

I would suggest the Premium program even for less complicated returns so as not to miss any potential deductions.

AMAZON also provided immediate service to correct a shipping problem.

This software can't process the info you enter from your w2 correctly. When it comes to capital gains and losses you may as well read the IRS instructions.

I'm afraid I will have to put TaxCut down [Posted on 2006-04-11]
I am afraid that this will be the last year I will use TaxCut after using it for at least the past six years. The program added over $6000 of extra 1099-misc income into my return. It was just there out of the blue. No entry, no name from whom it came from just an extra $6,000 of income out of thin air. Not a good thing. Luckily, I caught it.
