H&R Block TaxCut 2007 Premium Federal + State + e-file

Not bad

Strengths: Mac version imports from Windows files, integrates with Address Book

Weakness: Extra steps

Not a bad product. Installs very easily on a Mac. Looks almost identical to the PC version I used last year. The integration with Address Book surprised me and was a nice touch. (It asked me if I wanted to add my birthday, found in my W-2, to my profile in the Address Book.) There are a few too many extra steps in some parts of the interview. For example, they might say "Next we'll take you...

I won't buy it again

Strengths: none

Weakness: the info is not clear

I have used turbotax in the past and it is much better. I find it difficult to move through this program or find what I am looking for. It just doesn't work smoothly and the result is that I still haven't finished my taxes. My frustration mounts every time I open this program. In addition, every comment seems to come with a commercial for another of their products.

Loyal user who almost didn't buy it this year

Strengths: Imports data from prior year (even from TurboTax), can print return to PDF

Weakness: Keeps getting more expensive, especially to e-file

I have used TaxCut for as long as I can remember and this year's version is a natural progression from prior years. The interface has changed slightly, but there is no real learning curve for previous users. A nice feature is the ability to print your returns to a PDF file. This way, you can keep and access an electronic copy of your return without having to keep the old software around. Of...

Best Tax Software

Strengths: Easy to use, all in one package, costs less than tax professional

Weakness: Price for software has risen over last few years, Have to keep checking for updates of forms

TaxCut 2007 Premium Federal and State (+ E-File) is one of the best software based tax preparation software available to the consumer. The software is easy to install and use with a friendly user interface. I am able to complete my tax returns without shuffling through a hundred pieces of paper. It makes tax preparation simpler. A great feature is the import from last year's return function. With...

Easy transfers data from TurboTax

Strengths: TaxCut imports and transfers data from TurboTax also.

Weakness: TaxCut Does Not Import W-2, 1098 and 1099 Data

TaxCut desktop will work well for anyone, except for those who have a substantial amount 1099 transactions since TaxCut does not download this data. If you want to use online tax software and you have a very basic return or you have been doing your own taxes for years, TaxCut Online will work. But, because of the hassles with finding answers on the support page, I do not recommend.

TaxCut Premium Federal + State + E-file (full...

Strengths: User friendly, easy to install, and saves for next year

Weakness: You can only efile for one user and only one state

I like this software after complications with other tax software products. It would be nice if you lived in two states in one year you could use this software and/or if you could spend a few extra dollars to efile another member of your household. Fast, simple, and easy to use.

Best value for the money!

Strengths: Best value for the money ($60 from Amazon and got $10 rebate from TaxCut). Comes with eFile, so no hidden costs.

Weakness: Does Not Import W-2, 1098 and 1099 Data like the other guys. Well, not yet, but give them time!

I was a loyal TurboTax customer until last year. TaxCut has virtually the same features and functionality at a lower cost. Also, have not run into some of the installation issues I experienced with TurboTax in years past. TaxCut also comes with free access to an H&R Block tax advisor.

TaxCut Premium Federal 2007

Strengths: Easy, inexpensive, backed up by H&R Block

Weakness: Only import last years tax not prior year--it got confused with TaxCut 2003 (last time I used TaxCut)

This product worked quickly upon set up. Although it imported my 2003 return and labeled it 2006 which caused some other difficulties, it was very clear, and helpful. The mini movies that described some of the issues were very helpful. The corrections part was a little confusing but I managed and there was only 2 corrections needed. I wish I could have deleted the 2003 return but it seems too...

Strengths: I would recommend taxcut for it

Weakness: None

I been using Taxcut for many years, and like a good wine they only get better with time. I would difiatly tell anybody that does their own taxes to buy this product.

This is my last year with TaxCut

Strengths: Price

Weakness: Cannot use on a non-internet computer. Schedule D errors. Weak interview.

I have used Taxcut ever since it was a Parsons product. But every year they have made it harder to use on a stand-alone non-internet computer. This year I found an error on how it handles schedule D capital gains. And I paid for but could not use the state product. The interview did not catch everything it should have. I am very disappointed, and when I called for help they did not care and told...
