TaxCut Premium Home & Business 2003 Customer Review: Use At Your Own Risk
I selected this product because it was the only comprehensive business product I could download (why pay for and wait for shipping if you can avoid it?).

I experienced many of the problems of the other reviewers, including:

–Gaps in the interview process that simply refer you to IRS instructions.

–Software refused to launch after installing state product, requiring a reinstall. Fortunately, I had already printed out a draft of my return, so I’m just looking at having to do some data entry rather than start from scratch.

–State product for my state (NY) was worse than the free, fill-in version of the form available from the New York State website. Not only did it simply display the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance instructions instead of walking me through my return, but the “updated” form refused to print because, according to the software, it wasn’t approved by New York State.

Fortunately, TaxCut offers a no-questions-asked refund, which I took them up on for the state business product. Because the refund is for a downloaded product, I didn’t have to mail any disks back or fill out any forms to get my refund.

I’m sticking with TaxCut, bugs and all, for my federal return because it is less than half the price of TurboTax , and because I don’t want to pay for and wait for shipping of a product I have no way of knowing is any better.

Here’s what I suggest for other intrepid souls who wish to use TaxCut to file their business returns:

–View the product for what it is: simply an aid to filling out your own taxes.

–Become thoroughly familiar with your own tax situation; get tax books and download the IRS forms and instructions as well. Don’t rely on the software to know anything you don’t–and be pleasantly surprised when it does.

–Check your completed return carefully for any anomalies (mine inexplicably included a form I didn’t need).

–Do not purchase the state product; you’ll do much better with the interactive forms available from your state website.
