4.0 out of 5 stars Do your own taxes, January 30, 2010

I have been using H&R Tax Cut for years. They've changed the name but the product is still the same. What I like most about this tax software is that it is easy to retrieve data from last year's return so you don't have to re-enter a lot of information that is the same. The steps walk you through every aspect of your taxes making sure you don't miss a thing. If you have some options, like whether to file jointly or separately, you can easily do multiple returns and compare results, or just make a simple change on the one return and note how it affects the refund. Although I never use this feature, you can download some information from the internet and it goes directly into the proper location on your return. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it costs more than the free TaxAct that is available online. But I don't want to put my information out there so I don't use TaxAct. Even with the most basic version of At Home you can do every personal tax situation, including capital gains, farm, self employment, and you can file up to five efile returns for free. What I don't understand is H&R sends me their deluxe version, not once, but twice, and thinks I will pay more than double what the basic version costs at Amazon. I should have waited a few weeks because the price has come down since I bought mine.

you should just buy the CD, it's worth the added $1 to save on hassle.

first you have to download and install the amazon.com SW loader. then you have to download and install this.

then when you go to efile you have to go back to amazon, go to this page, go to your software library and click another tab to get the product code that would have just been printed on the cd.

Taxact Basic.
I purchased this download approx 24hrs ago and it required me to install a download application in order to acquire the software. After installing their app it downloaded a corrupt zip file that contained what I purchased, I tried multiple times to download with same results. I sent a message to Amazon and 24hrs later still no response! I have nothing to show for my money. On top of that the download app wants to run every time I boot up my PC, it's the only thing that works! I am NOT a a happy customer!
