I've been using TaxCut for 15+ years. For the most part it works fine for me. I do notice handling Form 8938 (Statement of Foreign Financial Assets) is very cumbersome. I have to create multiple copies of the form to enter more than two accounts, instead of just expanding the form. Also, when filling out the form(s), there is no ability to cut and paste from bank statements. All info has to be entered manually.
I BEEN USING TAX CUT SINCE 1995. I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THE EASE OF USE. HOWEVER, THIS YEAR I HAD A QBI DEDUCTION ON A TRUST K-1. THE PROGRAM WOULD NOT USE IT ON MY RETURN. SO I HAD TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE WAY TO HAVE IT APPEAR. NOT SURE WHY IT WOULD NOT ACCEPT IT! I TRIED OVERRIDE, BUT THAN NOT ACCEPTABLE TO EFILE.
I've been using H&R Block program even when it was called TaxCut for over 20 years. It is easy to understand, if you questions, the search is excellent. It doesn't generate unnecessary papers like some of the other programs do.
Been using for over 10 yrs - skipped 1 or 2 years and spent 10X for accountants when things were complicated (or I procrastinated). Easy to use and consistant. No problems with MAC version - which is what I've used.
I will never use this program again. When I discovered I typed my name wrong and backed up to fix it the process evidently erased the block showing I was a dependent on another return. I didn't catch this so submitted return in good faith. It had to be fixed and I was charged 2 filing fees.
Followed directions for amended return (1040x). Final 1040x copy did NOT include original data and mishandled Royalty worksheet to show a false inaccuracy.
