    2 out of 5 stars Not Great, but will get you through back taxes   June 30, 2007
    Paul Cooper (Closter, NJ USA)
    I purchased this product to file taxes for a prior year (business). The software was clumsy to use, not intuitive, and a bit hard to navigate. But I got through it. You may have to fill some forms manually, and if that is the case, the system offers very little instruction on whether you are doing it right. Still, I appreciated the final error checking and access to all the 2002 forms I would possibly use. The 2002 version is not great software, but it sure beats doing it by hand.


    1 out of 5 stars Don't use it   May 9, 2004
    I give it 0 stars. We used it for a small business and it was a pain in the neck. It wasn't easy to use like TurboTax. One example: Our business didn't require one of their forms to be filled out...because of that form being blank, it wouldn't let us continue. Therefore, we ended up printing out what we had, filled it out by hand and then we got our money back. Oh, and the local H&R Block was not willing to help us even though their product wasn't working right. Next year, we use Turbo Tax.


    1 out of 5 stars Only software that makes TurboTax look good   October 2, 2003

    For several years up to 2002, I used TurboTax from Intuit - both the business and personal editions. Using TurboTax has been a pretty sucky semi-manual process that I've never been happy with. Believing some erroneous reviews (thanks for nothing Walt Mossberg from the WSJ), I vented my frustration by using TaxCut this year. It is horrific. It probably would have been easier to do my business returns by hand (even with having to look up calculations for depreciation). The other reviews cover most of the probs: it starts with trying to update the program and having it crash, continues through worksheets where you have to manually enter info that has already been entered elsewhere and a completely unintegrated (nonexistent?) help system, and ends where I had to go to the IRS and CA FTB sites to find the addresses to mail the reurns to.


    5 out of 5 stars Much Better Than Expected   May 11, 2003

    I decided to take a chance on this product after closing another intrusive pop-up sales window in Intuit's QuickBooks program and fearing the problems I heard about on this year's edition of TurboTax. I am so glad I did! The home side was easy, updating was no problem and it discovered that my accountant had placed me in the wrong school district (a quick call to a school official confirmed this). I have a VERY small business with two employees and the program was fine for that, however I can see where some people would question the 'robustness' of the product for larger businesses. The Business side also discovered two errors my accountant made on last year's return (glad I dumped the accountant). I am more than satisfied.


    2 out of 5 stars Will Cost $15 more than you bargained for   April 15, 2003

    The program will not update. I purchased it April 9, and sat down on the 14th (procrastination is a strong suit of mine)to do my taxes using the business edition. Whenever I tried to download the latest forms It kept freezing up. You cannot submit it until it is updated. I visited the web site, did everything it suggested. Spent an hour on the phone with "tech" support, who basically walked me through what the web site said. Then said well you will have to call customer service to get the update cd. Customer Service Charged me [$$$] to overnight it to me. I understand they have to recoup CD and Shipping costs, but just put it somewhere where I can download it and I would be happy. The personal solution is good, the business is poor. Don't buy it.
