- I have used this product over the last few years and each year it has improved in usability. The first year I bought it for the lower price over Turbo Tax. Now I buy it because I consider it an excellent product.

- Good Program, great value - A little buggy
- I have owned my own consulting business for going on 6 years and have used the TaxCut software for the past 3 years with terrific results. The software package allows you to do your federal and state Corp/Small Bus/S-Corp taxes as well as your personal 1040 federal and State for under $80.00!! The personal tax program is superior to the business tax process but both are fairly simple as long as you have some knowledge of the process and the information being requested. Another key perk is the software does interact fairly well with MS Money software so if you have taken the time throughout the year to categorize personal and business expenses it makes for quick dissemination of information.
The reason I call it a little buggy is that every year there is some issue. The software will not load the updated forms properly or it will hang when opened, etc etc. This is irritating but the tech support has been outstanding and easily reached. It has been located in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, I believe) in past years but I cannot attest to whether it is still in the U.S., or outsourced, this year as I have not yet called.
All in all, to be able to do your business and personal taxes accurately for next to nothing and in a very short amount of time is invaluable. A very satisfied TaxCut user. - 2007-01-17, 5 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Caution on the Bundle offered by Amazon
- H&R Block Taxcut Home and Business is a good product. I've used it before, and although it requires careful use ("Read the lines....") the end result can be excellent. Note that the product offers preparation of BOTH the personal (Form 1040 + State) form as well as many business forms. I use it for my individual return as well as federal and state returns for a Trust. A prior reviewer is going to have a go at an S-Corporation, and I understand it also will do Partnership returns.
The real reason for this review is the Bundle currently offered (1-14-2007) by Amazon. Currently it reads, "Buy this item with H&R Block Taxcut 2006 Premium Federal + State..." and combines the prices.
As I mentioned in the first paragraph, Taxcut Home and Business does your personal return as well as the business entity. Moreover, I checked the product description at the H&R Block Taxcut site, and it stipulates "Includes EVERYTHING from Premium + State + E-file." (emphasis added)
So the Amazon bundle offer asks you to buy something ALREADY INCLUDED in the product. By the time you read this review the Bundle offer by Amazon hopefully will have changed. I've used Amazon for many years, and this is an unusual oversight which I'm certain they will correct.
In the interest of disclosure, I used to work for H&R Block, but not now. For those who order ANY tax product I offer the following. IRS has not given final approval for form design changes, so many forms are not available to put on the disc you purchase. This means you will need to go the H&R Block (or whoever) update site to get the updated forms, and you may have to go back several times. You have not been singled out for punishment. This is a process that must be endured by professionals as well as self-preparers. And I'll say it again... "Read the lines!" - 2007-01-15, 7 of 7 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Bought this for S Corp
- According to reviews of TurboTax's Home and Business, it appears that TurboTax does not support S Corp (but probably does in the more expensive copr. package). Since many small businesses are S Corps, you probably will need to buy something besides TurboTax...like this program.
That is why I bought this product...I checked the product homepage (taxcut_com) and it said
"Complete Business Coverage - Helps you prepare returns for a number of business types, including Corporations, S Corporations, Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), Non-profits and Estates & Trusts. Plus, the program handles Payroll Taxes as well."
So hopefully it will work for me without any additional software. I will try to come back and update this review once I try it out...but since it is from H&R Block, I figure it might not be the simplist program, but at least it will be accurate (they actually guarantees that...although most errors are from the users anyway).
Nice little perk is that the software comes on a USB jumpdrive for easy installation...and it also will import TurboTax files from previous years...
Sorry this review is not more informative, but after spending an hour digging around for S Corp info, I thought it would be helpful to mention that this apparently supports S Corp Businesses, as well as (unlimited) business state returns, personal federal and state as well as E-Filing... Overall it certainly seems to include alot of forms and features for one price. - 2006-12-26, 15 of 19 people found this review helpful, Rated:
