TaxCut Premium + State + E-file 2006

Good
1.5/5
I've used TaxCut for years, but will be switching this year because TaxCut only allows efiling in one state (TurboTax allows three). Also, trying to contact TaxCut to ask about this issue was pretty much impossible. They have no weekend phone support (isn't that when most people do their taxes??), and the online customer support forms were very difficult to navigate.

Simple to use. Flexible in changing reported amounts. Step by step guide makes basic filing a snap.

Same as problem in 2002!
"I think there is a problem with the COLORADO Form 104. In the pension/Social Security calculation (Lines 7 & 8)when husband has pension and Social Security and spouse has only Social Security. Program allocates all S.S. to husband and won't allow S.S. for spouse"

I have used both TurboTax and TaxCut and have found TaxCut to be superior. It is easier to use, cost less and generally comes up with the same numbers as Turbo. Also, because Turbo Tax is a Quicken product, it imports mainly from Quicken (intuit) products. TaxCut, on the other hand, imports from Quicken and Money. I truly believe that TaxCut is a better product at a better price.

Easy to use. I've been using Taxcut for years, and the quality of the program is good.

But don't be fooled. If you have any complexity to your tax issues, you need a professional -- this won't do it all for you.

Mediocre
1.0/5
I had very bad time with the state programs (I need to file two states). After I installed the first state, each time I needed to open a new file, the program always asked to re-install again the state program.

I decided to uninstall and reinstall the federal program (very bad idea). When I tried to reinstall my original state program, I was directed to purchase again the same state!

I called to technical support several times and didnt get a solution to my problem. Finally I had to reinstall the software on other computer. After I purchased the second state program, I called again to the company to get a backup CD. They told me to copy the whole directory to a cd y this cd should be my backup CD!
What if I need to reinstall the state programs? Purchase again?

Terrible
0.5/5
Well, I got my disc in the mail, and I loaded it onto my Mac (OSX v. 10.4.8 (Tiger) and I clicked on the application,.. and it said that "TaxCut requires system support that comes with Safari version 1.3.2." Then it provided a link to update Safari to version 1.3.2.

Which is the stupidest thing in the world. Safari is now up to version 2.0.4 for MacOSX v. 10.3.9

AND the Safari required has been long updated about 2 years ago.... when the Mac OS was labeled "Panther." Holy crap! "Tiger" superseded "Panther" at least 2 years ago! TWO YEARS!
TaxCut didn't even support Mac's LAST YEAR!

And it didn't even check or mention or look for any other browser I may have such as the wonderful "FireFox" or the clunky "Opera."

What a moron bunch of backward software developers H&R Block hires..
And WE trust them with math to do our taxes?!...SHEESH!
TurboTax here I come!
