5.0 out of 5 stars I wouldn't do my taxes without TaxCut!, January 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: TaxCut 2002 State Edition (CD-ROM)

I have always been comfortable in filling out and filing my own tax forms, but in recent years, when I was making changes in where my mutual funds were invested, the forms required by both federal and state governments proved daunting. Using TaxCut State made things much easier. I have used TaxCut Federal for several years now and started with TaxCut State last year and it has been a wonderful! No need to run to the post office or other government building to get the forms. One word of caution though: the cost of the program is free after rebate when you purchase TaxCut Federal Deluxe or Platinum versions, and for one state only.

3.0 out of 5 stars Program fine, installation stinks, February 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: TaxCut 2002 State Edition (CD-ROM)

After installing Taxcut Platinum for Home and Business on my "D:" drive and spending 2 hours downloading the updates and getting started on doing the taxes, I attempted to install the Taxcut State edition. However it only installs to the C: drive.

Imagine a billion dollar company which forces you to install its products on only the C: drive. Small bug? Slight programming problem? So now to get it to work, I have to reinstall the whole thing (TaxCut for home and Business) on my C: drive and download the updates again, where I don't have room (that's why I have D, E, F,... drives). Another evening of installing and downloading spent because of the programming weirdness of Tax Cut. Last year and the year before I had to get them to send me new CD's because the ones they sent me had R/W errors on them, and were unusable.

I called their help desk and they didn't see anything odd about their unique installation - forcing the user to install to the C: drive.

Thank God, there's some competition for these guys or this program would be a lot worse.

Once you get it installed, it seems to work fine. In fact I love the program. So I give it a "5" for being great program, but a "1" for the annual installation problems.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless for any other than your state of current residence, February 12, 2003

Will not allow you to electronically file with a state of prior residence. Did not provide or support many of the forms for Wisconsin. Really has trouble with W2's from different states.

It was a waste of money.
