5 out of 5 stars Just as good as Turbotax   February 5, 2006
K. Thompson (Seattle, WA)

I have used both Turbotax and TaxCut in the last few years and find this years' version of TaxCut equal to any version of Turbotax I have used.

I'm an accountant and CPA and found that TaxCut covered all of the complex tax situations that I encountered. I had used Turbotax in the prior year and found the import of last years information very quick and easy. However, it did not carry over the depreciable basis or depreciation method for my depreciable assets.

I did my return in pieces, entering info as I recieved it, so I did not go through the interview in a step by step fashion. This created some bumps when trying to go back and make sure I had all data complete. Taxcut did have a nice graphic to show completed data versus unentered data, but there was no programmed check to make sure that all information was in.

The only real area that I encountered a possible tax error was in the state sale tax deduction. First of all, it did not make it clear that I could take sales tax as a deduction. It should make that very clear for states that have sales tax in place of a state income tax. When I finally found the input screen it asked for my local tax rate. When I put in the rate, my deduction was extremely high. I went back to the calculation page and realized it already had the statewide rate, but just wanted the additional locality rate on top of that. That was confusing and could have created an error if I had not investigated. And if I did not deal with tax rates in my day to day job, I may have not input the correct rate.

The only other issue I had was with printing a draft return. They should give you the option of printing a return to review before e-filing. Trying to get the pages I wanted to print was somewhat of a pain. And DON'T PRINT THE WORKSHEETS. They print out funky looking and it gives you pages of information you don't want.

A plus was they actually email you when the IRS has accepted your electronic filing, rather than having to go back to the return and check as I have had to do with Turbotax in the past.

Overall, however, I was pleased with the product. And given the free e-filing and the price savings over Turbotax, I'll definitely use Taxcut in the future.

DeductionPro, included in the Deluxe Edition, is easy to use and should PAY for all your tax software if you donate anything to charity. For non-cash contributions, DeductionPro has easy to use drop downs for categories, descriptions and quality. Example: Men's Underware, Undershirt, good => $2.07 deduction; Socks, $1.23; Underware, $1.77. Until I discovered DeductionPro, I thought the only person who donated used underware to charity was Bill Clinton. Now my wife donates mine... The dollars add up quickly. TaxcutPremium will import your DeductionPro data either through the interview or manually. I've used the TaxCut products for several years, switching over from TurboTax the year Intuit was putting MalWare at the root of your "C" drive. DeductionPro was a pleasant surprise.


5 out of 5 stars You should consider this product.   February 6, 2006

Tried TaxCut this year after many years using Turbo Tax. Primarily due to the large price difference when including e-filing. I had no problems: TaxCut is a little easier than Turbo Tax to use, it imported all my TT information correctly, the interview was straightforward. My return is typical: two incomes, a few mutual funds and stock transactions, itemized deductions, etc. I am not normally a price buyer and can't comment on extremely complicated returns, but TaxCut exceeded my expectations at a little over half the cost of TT.

It worked for me. I chose the premium edition since we bought and sold a house this past year. Hindsight, I didn't really need premium, but it did walk me through that process as well as other tax items that deluxe didn't offer.

Read the feature differences between Deluxe and Premium and go with Deluxe if is suites your needs.

I have always used Tax Cut in the past but last year I started as a Real Estate agent and I needed to do more detailed deductions and tougher tax "stuff" all together. Everyone at my office said no way you can't do them on your own...it's too much to know with all the tax laws. I thought I would give it a shot though!

It was so easy! Just as easy as any other year! It asked everything about my business! And much to my surprise...I GOT A HUGE REFUND!!! I really thought I was going to have to pay in since I did not do quarterly taxes the previous year, I was worried for nothing! Tax Cut with the Deduction Pro included was Great! I would recommend it for anyone needing a Scedule C tax claim.

Another great thing about this program is you can do more than one tax refund with it. My sister who runs a daycare business went in on the price of the purchase with me and she also used the same program. Only one of us could use the eFile rebate, but that was OK!

This is a great and very user-friendly product and with the "Easy Rest Assured Guarentee" (once your refund has been accepted, Tax Cut/HR Block will help you should you get audited for that year! You can't go wrong there!
