Software Reviews of H&R Block TaxCut 2007 Premium Federal + State [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Tax Cut not for Mac users
Summary: 1 Stars
Tax Cut is not for Mac users or those individuals who might have more complex tax retunes. After seven calls to the Tax Cut customer service line I finally had to transfer my returns to a PC to print out the Ohio Tax forms. I then discovered that Form IT-2023, which I needed to complete my return, was not supported by the Tax Cut software. So, I had to fill this form out myself by going to the Ohio State Tax website. Isn't this why I bought the software in the first place... not to have to fill out complex forms?
Tax filing year 2006 I used Turbo Tax with not a hitch and it generated Ohio State form IT-2023 with no problem.
I tried to save a few bucks and paid a big price.
Customer Review: Will try other Tax Software next year
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been using TaxCut for six years. It is ok to deal with simple tax return. But, these few years I have to file two states and foreign tax credit and AMT. I felt I got lost, especially this year:
1. Need to re-enter numbers from one state's to the other state's tax return.
TaxCut won't do it for you. Not too difficult. I just need to print them out and look for the numbers and reentered them.
2. On Form 1116 (Foreign Tax Credit), I have to fill in 3a-3g by myself. I tried to learn from my 2006's return, which TaxCut did it for me. There is no glue how and where those numbers came from.
3. The error check on AMT and Form 1116 are not clear. I've been having difficulty for this part for the last three years. I kept on try-and-error and fixed them finally. Still not yet for Form 1116 for 2007.
4. I got onto their chat channel and waited for 15 minutes. An agent got on chat and left right away. Waited for another 10 minutes; she connected again. Without saying anything,
I got disconnected right away. A e-mail was sent to me with case number. I tried to log into chat again but didn't find where to enter the case number.
Great! I will try again tomorrow and reenter all information.
I will definitely try some other software next year. Any good suggestions?
Customer Review: Excellent to use BUT . . . Some needed forms not included
Summary: 3 Stars
I like this program - in general - much more than Turbo Tax because it installs fully the first time without "problems and it is very easy to use!"
However - for Vermont, where there is a property tax "prebate" that residents must know to apply for...TaxCut does not have the forms one needs AND they do not tell you you need the forms. SO - I would never get the $550 "prebate" that I was entitled to this year, except that I knew about it from previous tax filings.
Also, it bothers me that in order to get my "prebate" I had to fill out downloaded forms by hand after searching for needed information in my files and using a calculator to get some needed totals. To me, this is NOT what I should have to do after spending over $65 for a Fed./State/e-filing program!!!
Besides, if Turbo Tax can fill out these forms automatically and have these same forms in its State of Vermont Tax Program - what is wrong with TaxCut doing the same thing??? (I chatted online with TaxCut's customer support about this problem and they told me (a week ago) that there would be no updates to their Vermont program and that they "do not include all needed forms" in their program.)
NOW, wouldn't you think it is important to know about and be able to file forms HS-122 and HS-144 when you might get $500 or more back for submitting them?
What does this say about TaxCut and their completeness of tax preparation software?
What does this say about TaxCut's concern for their customers????
It tells ME that I need to go back to Turbo Tax next year - even with its installation problems - and save myself the hassle of handwriting information on self-downloaded and self-printed forms and not have to print an envelope and stamp it -- from now on!!
I was very disappointed with TaxCut and it's "help."
Customer Review: Just DON'T do it
Summary: 1 Stars
Okay, long time user, less and less happy last few years. This year is the final straw. They chagne all kinds of security settings that caused me hours of grief on things nothing to do with the actual software including installing stuff I don't need and didn't ask for.
So don't know about the others, but take a pass on this forever.
I do IT and can only imagine the hours people have burned AFTER installing this package and not realizing it was the cause of other issues.
Good luck.
Customer Review: Taxes all done
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Tax Cut each year for, at least, 8 years. It is easy to use. I tried Turbo Tax one year and ended up giving it to a friend and then went out and got Tax Cut again.
