I have been using TaxCut for 26 years. There is one glaring problem that they still have never fixed. You can create a mini-speadsheet to show the math behind just about any number block in the entire tax return. But once you create that, getting back to it is just about impossible. Instead of clicking on that field, like you would expect, you have to know the name of the IRS form and line number that it applies to. But one of the points using a program like this is to NOT have to know every line of every tax form. Do you job, and give us a way to get back to our mini-spreadsheets that makes sense to any sane person. It has been too many years to not have this fixed yet.

Overall great product. Only minus is I've to review after export from brokerage and carefully go through so that there is no zero cost basis on my options. I would like this to be flagged so that I cannot be filed. In tax sense there is no zero cost basis.

Works well, but the search feature is very restrictive. You have to know the exact thing you want, and the search will not use any logic to help you. I wanted to go to the worksheet for calculating Qualified Dividends and Capital Gains, which used to be a separate worksheet, but now is at the end of another worksheet. So the search never found what I wanted.

This year, I was disappointed in how the application operated when certain selections were made. For instance, the selection to exclude part or all of a capital gain distribution (classified as small business) reported on the 1099-DIV was odd. Selecting the button and entering the excludable amount in the interview and on schedule D as instructed did not reduce the taxes owed as one would expect. Similarly, charitable contributions on the MA state return seemed to raise the tax amount. Although it may compute the tax properly, this behavior leaves the taxpayer wondering if he or she is getting the benefits (deductions and credits) promised. Also, still cannot import from Wells Fargo Advisors. Finally my software malfunctioned during the latter stage of entry by simultaneously opening 15 or more iterations of my tax return! I saved on the first prompt and did not save on the next few prompts until I decided to invoke the task manager to close the program. Fortunately, my next session appeared to have my most recent entries.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This program doesn’t have intelligence for bringing in last years returns asking to correct itemized deductible when the standard deductible was taken
