TaxCut offers individuals a powerful option for preparing an income tax return that is relatively easy to use. TaxCut assumes that you know little or nothing about income tax law. The software will ask a number of questions and will prompt you for information based on your answers. It will help tremendously if you gather as many of your tax documents as possible before starting. This software is significantly cheaper than paying a service to prepare it and much easier than doing in manually.

The e-file option has been around for some years and is a great time saver for those due a refund. If you owe money, you might want to save a few dollars and just file manually. The program will print all the forms you need so it’s easy to do and there’s no real advantage to electronically filing if you’re writing a check.

Please note that this version covers both Federal and State returns. Most people will need both, but if you live in a state with no income tax then you’ll want to look at H&R Block TaxCut 2007 Premium Federal (Win/Mac) for considerably less money.

If you don’t itemize your deductions and have a very simple return, you might be better off preparing the forms manually on your own. On the opposite end of the spectrum, if you have a return with major league complications, you might be better off going to a good CPA. For everyone else, this is really a no-brainer. It’s inexpensive, easy to use, and accurate. I’ve been using TaxCut for quite a few years and would not even consider giving it up.
