5 out of 5 stars Hang at 21% solved   December 31, 2005

I had the experience of the installation hanging at 21%. The file that it hangs on is a ShockWave Flash file. The ShockWave Flash Player needs to be installed on your system. It can be downloaded for free from http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi


5 out of 5 stars A program which always allays any concerns regarding April 15th   January 25, 2006

Taxcut is a wonderful program, taking the most of the pain out of doing taxes, and is far less expensive than TurboTax. In an interview setting, the program asks you a series of questions and guides you through the tax process. By far, the greatest amount of time you will spend will most likely be spent assorting your records. This truly makes tax season painless (if not close to it) and also carries the imprimatur of H&R Block and is backed by them for peace of mind.

What makes Taxcut especially nice is that I am able to import any and all taxable transactions into it directly from Microsoft Money.

A note and a personal opinion. Taxcut standard is fantastic, but I honestly do not see why people would pay 100% more for the state edition added on, when state taxes by and large are much less cumbersome than federal taxes.

Discolosure: I have Macromedia Shockwave installed on my XP SP2 system so did not get the hang upon installation others here have gotten.


5 out of 5 stars Decent, easy to use tax software   February 6, 2006

Purchased this edition of TaxCut last week. On WIN XP2 the software installed cleanly and it downloaded the updates without any issues. I imported last year's data in less than a minute and I had my return completed in less than 1 hour. This includes capital gains/losses, dividends, and AMT calculations. It doesn't get much easier than this.
Yes, you have to download updates. The IRS is still making changes to the tax codes long after this software has to be packaged and sent to the stores. The alternative would be to download the whole package online when you buy it, but wouldn't that take at least as long?


4 out of 5 stars A very good program made better.   November 27, 2005

I switched from TurboTax 3 years ago. The main reason being the issues with spyware in the PC version of that program. I also didn't like all of the hoops they were trying to make their customers jump through.

Using TaxCut was a decent experience. The program itself is easy to use and negotiate. Jumping back and forth in the return was a fairly simple process. There were significant improvements over the previous year's version. Which is always a welcome thing.

I was able to quickly import my tax info from the previous year's TurboTax files without any problem. It is also easy to import last year's TaxCut data (just in case you were wondering). The user interface is easily understandable. Overall, TaxCut seems to be a step or two behind TurboTax. But the end results are the same, a tax refund which more than pays for the program. And those steps behind are small steps.

BE WARNED: TaxCut customer service is painfully bad.
