Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Satisfied Customer
Review: About 4 years ago I came upone Tax Act by accident. However, I couldn't resist using the software package for 9.95. Ever since then I have been purchasing Tax Act and using it to prepapre my tax return.

As the other recommendations have said, Tax Act is easy to use and understand. Their may be a few quirks but that should be expected from most tax software.

However, the real test came when I had a client who had not filed a tax return in 4 years. I had tried searching for Tax software for the years 1998 to 2001 but with no luck. I tried with Intuit, Tax Cut, and others but was told that those years were unavailable.

Tax Act had all those years on their website ready for download for a price of 9.95 each. Not bad. Without Tax Act I do not think I would be able to have finished preparing my client's tax return for those years. And even if the other software companies were able to provide for those years, I do not think they could compete with the price that Tax Act offerred.

I personally recommend this software to either do your own tax return or the preparer's edition if you are a professional tax preparer.

Summary: Covers the basics
Review: For the 1999 tax year, Microsoft came out with a fantasticfederal income tax file-on-line package. The cost [was low].

Strangely, I don't see a 2000 version. The learning company's Tax software is an adequate substitute. It is a menu driven, step by step federal filing process. It does a great job of calculating your figures whether you file 1040EZ or 1040 with multiple income, multiple W-2 and deductions.

Truth be told, the software itself rates 2 or 3 stars for functionality, but the price made me bump it to 4. The menu system is somewhat annoying, -almost- trapping you on their hamster wheel walk throughs... but hey - at 1/4 the cost of Turbo Tax, I can't complain too much. It works fine and I didn't have to use a calculator.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very easy to use and understand
Review: I purchased this program in hopes of getting an inexpensive tax preparation program that would get me the biggest return possible. I was tired of going to tax prep places and paying an outrageous fee for something that I could do on my own. I was very pleased with this program!
The format is very straight-forward, and thorough. It takes you through an interview process that calculates your return at the top of the screen as you progress. I found no glitches or download problems with this program whatsoever. Also, being a single father, Tax Act helped me get the biggest return I have ever received! Tax Act also emails you when the IRS has received and is reviewing your return.
I will certainly be using this program to do my 2001 yr taxes. Kudos to The Learning Company for such a fine product.
It will save you a lot of money in tax preparation, and, as in my case, will help you get the best return possible.
