H&R Block Taxcut Premium Federal + State + Efile (Full Product)

Reviewed by: titan703

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Easy import of previous years, supports imports from other tax programs, deduction calculator finds TONS of deductions I miss, and I know what I am doing

Weaknesses: No longer a free e-file so either buy this version with e-file included for both federal and state, or pay later.

Overall Evaluation: I have been a loyal TxCut user for many years now - a look at my bookshelf shows boxes going back to 1997 - and I have been more and more impressed with every year's new version. One year I thought I would save some money by buying TurboTax on sale and I regretted it immediately. I am not saying this as someone who loves a product and will bash anything that is different - I genuinely could not stand the interface and dummied down input screens that mde it too hard to enter more advanced tax features and deductions that TaxCut lets you quickly switch back and forth from the 1040 and GUI. I have to admit I AM a bit disappointed that back in 2005's filing year they stopped offering a free e-file via rebate and switched to this pay in advance version, but that's the breaks. I normally buy the Federal+State version and just mail in my forms to save the money, but I got a good price on this e-file version this year and was eager to try it out since I already have an adjusted W2. I am happy as always.
