Software Reviews of H&R Block TaxCut 2008 Premium Federal + State + e-fileCustomer Review: Awful, will never use it again Summary: 1 StarsI have been using turbotax for the past ten years and like it. This year, silly me decided to give turbotax a try since it was like 10 bucks cheaper. Well, never again. Here're the issues i ran into with taxcut:
1. I found the whole Q&A sequence very confusing, particularly when i have multiple rental properties.
2. I have fidelity brokerage account and have done numerous trades last year, turbotax has integration with fidelity, so it's a simple download to get all these information in. Turbocut, on the other hand, doesn't. I had to painstakingly enter all the trades by hand, took me hours.
3. This is the WORST part. I submit my return via e-file. The next day, got an email from taxcut with the following subject line: "TaxCut: Tax Return Successfully Transmitted". Well, i thought great, i'm done. Months later, i had not receive any refund and upon checking into it. My return was actually rejected due to an error. "What the f***?" i was fuming, why didn't taxcut notify me of the error. I went back to the email i received from taxcut, and it stated: "We'll also send you an e-mail with the status of your return once it's processed by the IRS. " which i never received. Thank god i have a refund this year, otherwise, i would have to pay penalty for the past six months!!!
Will never use taxcut again and would advise others to stay away.
