- Worse than Prior Versions
- On the Macintosh side, I don't know what happened to this product during the one year they skipped development (2005 tax year) but I was very disappointed with this year's version. Particularly if you are a business owner or sole proprietor!
In the end there was no harm done because I decided I needed to go to a real accountant anyway for business purposes... but the flow of this year's application was very disjointed and inconsistent IMO. In the past the forward and back functions worked as you would expect (more or less like a browser), but here depending on which page you jump from, you might go from the end of a section back to the end of the last section or beginning of the current, instead of to the last page.
Also my accountant found at least two flaws in the interview flow, and at least one calculation error based on the interview answers. Not recommended at all for 2006 unless you are filing late and work strictly on a W2 basis, with no complex investment or deduction options needed. - 2007-05-25, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Doing Taxes yourself...
- This is an excellient program if you want to do your taxes yourself.
It has an easy to follow instructions and if there is something in one of the section you do not understand, there are helpful explainations and help videos that go in depth into the topic.... I have been using the TaxCut for several years and feel at ease is completing them correctly. One year I decided to go into H&R and have them do it, thinking that they might be able to save me some money, but all they did was input the data like had done for years.
I was annoyed... I'm a single adult that rents and they did not go through any routes (deductions) that could have saved me anything.
Even if you own property, or a small bussiness, all the downloaded information is there and the help files explain everything....
What is even a better, compared to using the written form, as you follow thru the form... the computer automatic skips the sections that you don't need. As you answer the questions, you wind your way thru the complicated process of filing.
Only negative is that you do have to sit and do it yourself, it took me about three hours to complete. But what is great is that you can save it and go back to change something if you feel you made a mistake.
All in all worth the time and money spent... - 2007-05-15, 0 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Taxcut version seems fine, rebate offer a pain
- I have used taxcut for the past 5 years, this version seemed to work without a hitch. Although E-file was no longer free, I bought this one with the Amazon/H and R rebate offer. The rebate process however was not good. I was sent a denial letter stating that i had sent the offer after the postmark deadline. Of course i had not! The denial letter arrived before the deadline, so how could i have sent after the deadline?! Also, working with the Rebate center to resolve the issue was a pain with many delays.

- pretty good
-
This works fairly well for me. It easily downloads the capital gains from Microsoft Money, the interviews are fairly straightforward. However there are a few areas (like foreign tax credit) where it should be automated but isn't. But on the whole it does a nice job, they just need to improve it a little every year then it could be a 5 star item. - 2007-04-20, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
