Summary: This Product is not Ready!
Review: I switched to Tax Cut Deluxe because of the spy ware and CD Rom protection issues with Intuit TurboTax last year. (TurboTax's CD Rom protection software disabled a few of my video games, and was difficult to uninstall.)

Unfortunately, I'm experiencing several problems with H&R Block's Tax Cut Deluxe.

1. I need to use the K-1 Partnership/S Corporation worksheet, and Form 6198. Tax Cut will not allow me to file until H&R Block releases a patch, scheduled for "early February."
2. I can't obtain the H&R Block State software until the end of February.

The software is cheaper then Intuit's by a fair margin, and as a BETA product, it shows promise. But it should be ready to go NOW.

Given that Tax Cut has a "100% Satisfaction 60-day Money-Back Guarantee", and that I won't be able to obtain a working product for more than 30 days, I'm considering calling this product "unsatisfactory" and exercising my right to a refund.

Summary: Horrible Customer Support
Review: I attempted to buy the state software, but the server was down and could not accept a credit card payment. I have been trying for 2 days now. I tried to call customer support and you cannot unless you pay $9.95. You cannot even contact them through email.I am returning the software.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ELM
Review: For young taxpayers, this program is ideal! Walks you through the steps with ease and sends your tax forms for you. I highly recommend this program.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Get's the job done...
Review: I've used TaxCut and TurboTax and TaxCut wins. It meets my needs without ads and all the other nightmares described by Intuit's critics. I had a problem downloading updates within the program but easily located what I needed on the TaxCut Web site.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Professional
Review: This is even worse than Turbo Tax. I made the switch because I didn't like all the added and UNWANTED software that TurboTax loads onto your machine. TaxCut can't even add up the columns on Schedule E. And where there are three possible options, only one works. This is a waste of money!!

Summary: Be careful when importing information from TurboTax
Review: Last year I made the switch from TurboTax to TaxCut. After importing all my data from TurboTax (the box said it would,) I completed my taxes and noticed a strange bug that caused the city and zip of my employer to show up as my own! When I then changed my home address, the address of my employer changed! Good grief. I called TaxCut and they advised me to REDO my taxes and skip the import from Turbo Tax. However, after spending hours entering all my tax info, I opted to just send it into the IRS with incorrect information. It makes me wonder what other bugs TaxCut may have overlooked. You get what you pay for!

Summary: Inadequate AMT Support on the Early Release
Review: I have been a very long time TaxCut user, and in the last few years I've purchased TaxCut in December to get a handle on my year-end tax planning.

However, this year it was largely useless to me to buy in December because the early version of TaxCut doesn't even try to get the AMT correct. Block says AMT calculation will be addressed in the mid-January update (now they say the late-January update). Given the new tax cuts, an enormous number of people in high tax states (e.g. California, New York, Michigan, etc.) will be stuck in the AMT this year. It's really not acceptable to wait until January to include AMT functionality given how many of us are in the AMT.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TaxCut is an Excellent Product
Review: After using TurboTax for years, I finally recognized that Intuit can no longer be trusted, and I switched to TAXCUT. I was reluctant and hesitant but am now glad I did.

I found TaxCut to be a very easy to use piece of software that completed my return as easily or more easily than any other tax software I've used. Everything from completion of my returns to electronic filing went smooth as silk. All I had to do was follow directions.

I have need for a small number of forms that most people don't use (Schedule C, etc), and was able to find virtually everything I needed in TaxCut. Fine job by the folks at H&R. I'm now a permanent TaxCut customer.
