Comment: Used Taxcut for the second year in a row and for most part have been happy with the product, I had been Turbotax regular since the late 80's.I ended owing money this year so waited til the last minute (4/14/2004) to file. That's when the fun began. Got a notice from the IRS today that the filing of the claim was accepted but that could not access my financial institute for payment. Called Taxcut and they threw there hands up, "We sent them your claim and they (the IRS) accepted it, we're done." Taxcut was able to process their $14.95 processing fee, the IRS could not. Contacted my credit card company, "no problem on this end". Have yet to get a hold of the IRS for there end of the story. My tact next year, file the old paper way at a cost of a stamp. In my opinion, Taxcut was gutless in trying help. Poor business practice.
Summary: No valuable Help, Questionable calculations

Comment: TaxCut Deluxe 2003. In filling out the Interviews, this app stops with my 1099-MISC at Box 7, with error requiring a code.
But no where could I find a hint as to what the code may be.
The app suggested I refer to an IRS Publication xxxxxx! If I had time to get all the IRS publications, I would not need a tax software application!
I decided to continue, by omitting the two 1099-MISC documents, and see what happened. Well at the end it calculated a very nice refund....
But, I went out and purchased TURBO TAX 2003 and re done the whole thing. The 1099-MISC Box 7 had no error issues, and when I completed the filing, TURBO TAX 2003 came up with a lot less refund. The two 1099-MISC's I omitted in TaxCut 2003 totaled $1600. So there is no way that would have resulted in some $2000 less in my refund!
TaxCut Deluxe 2003 is a waste of money in my opinion.

Comment: ...of users who have used TaxCut for years, but found it to be a major problem this year.I did not have the typical problems of most people who have reviewed the product. It loaded fine, and never crashed. My problems were actual mistakes made by the software. I imported 1099 information automatically, from Fidelity. It turned short term items into long term, and vice versa. It gives you the option to delete some elements that you import, but then it doesn't actually delete them. I had 2 jobs during the year and accidentally over-contributed to a 401(k). It detected this, and fixed it. But I received a 1099-R from Fidelity, and reported that. So I ended up double-reporting the overage, and TaxCut didn't notice. I can also report agreeing with the comments about the user interface. I don't mind the tie-ins to H&R Block. But it's really very confusing and inconvenient to go back and find a topic, and enter into the Interview for it. Next year, I'll try TurboTax.

Comment: I bought the Mac OS X version.This software is hideous. Don't even condsider buying it. I took a chance since it was cheaper than TurboTax, and regret it. Incredibly buggy, irritating interface. Some obviously wrong calculations. I haven't even tried some of the other features that other reviewers complain about, but at this point I don't need to see much more to conclude that this is hands down the worst software I have ever bought.

Comment: I've used TaxCut for years with no problems, but this year's version is full of bugs. Is there anything more annoying than doing your taxes the last minute and having your tax software repeatedly crash? I've downloaded the latest updates, and it's still unstable.
