- Terrible
- This software does not handle common Roth IRA issues correctly. When I contacted (and paid for) an H&R Block Tax Advisor, I was told that the software has some limitations handling Roth IRA contributions and that I needed to visit an H&R Block office!

- Good but Where's the Brokerage Import
- Puchased, install on Win XP PC - good.
Update software over Dial-up internet ~ 35 mins OK
Imported last years TurboTax data - looked fine - Great!
Enter some data then tried to import tax info from Fidelity Brokerage Account. Could not find feature.
Contacted "Live" support over internet. Waited about 15 mins. After some boiler plate answers and 15 more mins of waiting, answer - TaxCut does not offer that feature in any of this years products. Bummer. Puchased much more expensive TurboTax. Imported tax info from brokerage firm. - 2007-02-10, 5 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Works just fine.
- I use windows xp. I've used taxcut for the past 2 years and turbotax prior to that. My return contains w2s, sched C + 1099s. I track everything in quicken and with my own excel spreadsheet. Start to finish my taxes took 30 minutes. No crashes, no issues.
The things I didn't like were:
* the video about "whats new for 2006" took too long to start playing. I don't care about flashy rotating graphics -- just tell me the dope!
* comparing your return to last year's return doesn't sort 1099s by name, it uses numerical order. So if you delete 1099 #1 everything is off by 1.
* software update leaves the "update your software" window open such that its a little unclear if you need to punch more buttons. they should either close the window or use a modal dialog.
I don't know whats up with these 2 star reviews, except for the mac folks who may have valid gripes and the guy with the ESPP complaint. You people who thought e-file was free previously... uh get a clue. Taxcut was $40 last year to cover it. Its _never_ been free.
Lastly its really obvious that the turbotax beta people were all instructed to review the product. I think that is unethical and it makes me wonder if they're stacking the deck over here as well. - 2007-02-10, 10 of 11 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Don't buy this
- Worst tax software I've ever used. I have used TurboTax in the past and didn't this year because of the price. I wish I'd just paid the extra money. This is hard to use and has defects that won't let me complete an accurate return. I finally got in touch with technical support who said they'd call me in 24-48 hours.

- It works fine.
- I seldom do reviews but after reading the most recent poor ratings I had to speak up. I've used TaxCut since 1999 except for 2004 when I decided to try Turbo Tax again. (I used Turbo Tax for a few years in the early 1990's then decided to go back to manual mode.) Turbo Tax also worked fine except I couldn't file electronically. The software refused to work and my DSL connection worked fine for all other Internet activity. So I filed by paper that year and went back to TaxCut for 2005. I just read someone's review in which they said that TaxCut's tables didn't match the Feds. (and he said he downloaded all the updates.) Well, I haven't had any such problems with any of my returns and if their software did make a mistake, the person should contact H&R Block. It clearly states that if their software made a calculation mistake they would reimburse you the IRS penalties plus interest.
