Summary: Excellent tax tool, but this version is limited
Comment: TaxCut offers individuals a powerful option for preparing an income tax return that is relatively easy to use. TaxCut assumes that you know little or nothing about income tax law. The software will ask a number of questions and will prompt you for information based on your answers. It will help tremendously if you gather as many of your tax documents as possible before starting. This software is significantly cheaper than paying a service to prepare it and much easier than doing in manually.
The e-file option has been around for some years and is a great way to get your refunds faster. But if you owe money, there's not as much of an advantage. Still, you get five free electronic filing so you might as well use one. In the unlikely event that you plan to prepare more than five returns, make sure you use the e-file for the ones due a refund and file the ones with money due manually. The program will print all the forms you need so it's easy to do and it will save you the cost of the fees for the additional e-files.
There are a couple of issues to take note of if you buy this version of TaxCut. First, this version covers only federal tax returns and does not include a program for state taxes. If you live in a state with no income tax, this is the version you want. But if you do need to file with your state, you'll want to buy the H&R Block TaxCut 2008 Premium Federal + State + e-file version. Second, there are some tax tools not included in this package that would require the H&R Block TaxCut 2008 Premium Federal + e-file version. These probably won't be needed by everyone, but take a good look at the chart in the product description area to see if you will miss the features or not.
If you don't itemize your deductions and have a very simple return, you might be better off preparing the forms manually on your own. On the opposite end of the spectrum, if you have a return with major league complications, you should probably go to a good CPA. For everyone else, this is really a no-brainer. It's inexpensive, easy to use, and accurate. I've been using TaxCut for quite a few years and would not even consider giving it up.
