H&R Block TaxCut 2006 Premium Federal + State

Great tax software

Strengths: Easy install. Easy wizard use.

Weakness: None

It's a great software package for $25. I had no problems. I like how you can view the forms while you're filling in the wizard. It's all doable by hand, but it's worth the $25 to have error checking, etc...

taxcut premium 2006

Strengths: seems easier to use than turbotax

Weakness: can't import financial data from brokerage firms such as Vanguard, Charles Schwab, Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney, etc

I'm not sure how turbo tax mangaged to lock up all the financial firms, but for anyone that has sold and bought stocks, this ability is VERY important. It seems that taxcut used to be able to do this, but not in the 2006 edition - it's too bad, I really wanted to switch from turbotax to taxcut. If you have a lot of financial data from brokerage firms to enter in your taxes, stay away from taxcut....

Amazing Product for Tax Prepartion purposes

Strengths: It is very easy to use and installation is simple. e-file for federal and state is free and that saves money.

Weakness: It give problem while trying to paper print my return.

I think it is overall very good product. I usually use TurboTax, which is another excellent product but this one is fairly easy to use for at least simple tax filings since mine was fairly straight forward.

TaxCut 2006 Premium Federal w/State

Strengths: Cost, Ease of Use, Printing of return summary

Weakness: Lack of local forms

I have used TaxCut for several years. It is very convenient to use and recently contains both Federal and State together. This saves buying the software separately. It has a nice feature where you can print of summary of your returns. The first sheet is a summary of what you should mail in and where. Local tax forms for city tax aren't included. This drawback is minor. Overall it is a very good...

Taxcut 2006

Strengths: Installs without problems. Imports from prior year returns. Easy to use interview format. Changes can be made easily.

Weakness: None.

I have used TaxCut for the past 3 years and it gets the job done. It is well worth the price, considering the cost to have a return prepared by a CPA. Federal and state is the way to go.

good tax software

Strengths: easy to install and use, with clear Step-by-step instruction

Weakness: state importing is poor

This is a fair product for tax preparation. first, it is easy to install, and with Step-by-step instruction, it is also easy to use, at least no problem for me, maybe because 1040ez is enough for me. still, I had problem to importing data to my state return, and had to manually input the data again

Taxcut 2006 Premium Federal w/ State

Strengths: Cheaper than Turbotax and performs just as well

Weakness: none so far

I have been using H&R Block's TaxCut for several years now. I have no complaints whatsoever with using this software. The interview process is very intuitive and easy to use. If you need more information on a particular IRS publication, just use the Help button to take you straight to the IRS link. You really can't beat the price, especially after any rebates. Never had an issue for several years...

A good change from TurboTax

Strengths: More direct interface

Weakness: Problems importing from Quicken

After using Quicken and TurboTax since 1997, let me first say that I am no longer a happy Intuit customer due to... -the TurboTax "spyware" registration a few years back, -the Quicken drop of QIF support, -Intuit requiring a fee for OFX usage by financial institutions so many do not support it, -the Quicken pop-up a few years back requiring me to buy a newer version to keep my financial download...

User friendly

Strengths: Easy to use interface. Good documentation and help.

Weakness: Doesn't show an ongoing tally of your taxes as you proceed.

It will cost you an addition $15.95 if you want to e-file using this version. There are other versions available that include e-filing. Online updates are efficiently executed.

Decent Tax Software

Strengths: Low cost compared to others and it came with a REBATE. Easy installation with upgrades from manufacturer's website. Step by step instructions/interview for filling out the returns.

Weakness: Although the software had "related to" links for entries while reviewing the return in FORM view, I'd would have like a link to take me back to the interview from the Open Form view.

I have used TAXCUT for several years (before I'd used TurboTax). This software is just as good as TurboTax but less expensive for my type of returns. I would recommend this software highly to anyone.
