Customer Reviews of TaxCut Standard 2002 Federal
Not as smart as it should be. My tax situation might be different than most, but I feel like it is still worth warning folks that this software doesn't know/do as much as TurboTax. I used TT for the last 2 years with no problem, but the reviews on the 2002 edition were terrible because you have to maintain an internet connection. So, I bought this - what a mistake.
I have something on line 14 of my W2's for some stock options I cashed in. This program didn't understand what was going on and kept telling me I had a problem because line 1 & 5 didn't match. Then it tried to ding me twice by recording it as a Capital Gains on a Schedule D. Turbo tax understood that my Line 14 was related to my Capital Gains and handled it appropriately.
Of course none of this should be so complicated that I have to trust a software program at all, but I guess that is the way it is...
TaxCut may be fine if you have "routine" earnings and deductions, but I would worry that if it can't handle my situation and TurboTax can - what else can't it handle?
Needless to say I am using TurboTax's online version this year. That was [a waste of money]...
Seriously buggy---may cost me big time
This software has a serious bug that may cost me a great deal of money.
My wife lived in Illinois for a year while I lived most of the year in California. In such a case, it is imperative that we file our Federal returns separately, otherwise Illinois will tax us on the money I earned in California!
TaxCut not only didn't warn us of this, it incorrectly computed the Illinois taxes using the part-year resident form. This was in spite of my having specified that my wife was in Illinois the whole year, and in spite of it being very plainly stated on the Illinois form that under such circumstances, a couple filing jointly could not use the form!
Unfortunately, I allowed TaxCut to e-file my return before I checked the state returns. Now I have to file an amendment.
I was also unable to get any help from TaxCut's customer support to stop the e-filing before it went through.
I'll never use their software again.
Great product, easy to use, helped me get a bigger refund
I don't understand why the average customer review is only 3 stars. I've used this product for 3 years now, and found it very easy to use, efficient, accurate. It's less expensive than Turbo Tax, but just as good.
This year, I tried using a free online service recommended by the IRS to do my taxes. After spending a few hours with it, I realized it lacked the ability to account for money I'd previously paid the IRS toward this year's tax bill. So I did what I should have done in the first place - got the latest TaxCut software and re-did my tax return (in half the time). TaxCut got me a bigger refund.
My only reservation is that TaxCut charges a little more to E-file your return than the online service would have charged. But accounting for the bigger refund, I'm still way ahead.
I'm sure TurboTax would be just as good for most people. But TaxCut costs less and works very, very well.
