5.0 out of 5 stars More Than Meets the Eye, December 16, 2007

By	Centerra "centerra" (NH USA) - See all my reviews

I used this product last year and it worked fine except for one minor glitch. That problem had to do with inputting my initial contact information (name, address, etc.) The program would not allow you to use the delete button. You could get past this, and everything else worked fine. No problem with State or electronic filing.

I think the 2007 software is better (the problem described above is fixed). I used to use Turbo Tax, but they got too pricey. HR Block is about where Turbo Tax was in looks three years ago, so they are catching up fast. I was impressed with Turbo back then, so I'm fine with HR Block being a bit less behind with bells and whistles but costing less and throwing in free e-filing. It also includes their program Deduction Finder, something that can save you $$$ if you use deductions, and also you get some free time with HR Block tax specialists if necessary.

I am not gifted in math or tax law, and I find this program very easy to use. The questions are to the point, and the help feature actually answers most of my questions. I showed this to my Dad, who likes to do his taxes by hand himself, and he is actually considering purchasing it. Even if he doesn't, just considering it is a strong endorsement as far as I'm concerned.

For those concerned about the price, check each day. I've seen the discounted price go as low as 49.99, but it changes on a daily basis. Some of the amazon sellers have gone as low as 32.00, too. The comparable TurboTax Premier Federal + State 2007 costs $67.99 and does not include e-filing or the separate program, Deduction Finder.

Bottom line is that it gets the job done, is backed by HR Block (they also throw in some audit protection for free), and it costs less than Turbo Tax. So if using a product just a little behind in terms of fancy stuff is not a big deal, then I think this product will fit the bill.

1.0 out of 5 stars Error in software doesn't allow you to efile, January 30, 2008

By	A. Barker (Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There is an error with the software that blocks you from e-filing. Do NOT pay extra for the efiling service, as the error isn't expected to be fixed until February 21st.

2.0 out of 5 stars Installation issues, January 13, 2008

By	Teko (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is for TaxCut 2007 Premium Federal on CD for Windows XP SP2.

I've been a user of TaxCut since tax year 2004. The tax part of TaxCut 2007 seems to work OK. I had problems with the installation and update of TaxCut 2007. Specifically, the TaxCut 2007 installation and update features modify the list of users who can access the \Program Files folder limiting it to only the Administrator who can access this folder. This effectively denies all other users on the XP system access to this folder, which means that ordinary users will have problems executing programs under this folder (which effectively is most installed programs). It also implies that only the Administrator can execute TaxCut.

I was able to fix this issue by looking at another XP system and modifying the access control list (ACL) of the \Program Files folder on the TaxCut system to match the other computer's ACL. Although this restored the system back to normal, TaxCut 2007 still only worked for an administrator, not an ordinary user. I've contacted TaxCut about the \Program Files folder problem. They said that they are looking into it.

This problem occurred when I installed TaxCut. It also occurred on the recent (Jan 10, 2008) update, which I installed on Jan 13, 2008.
