TaxCut Premium has come back swinging and stands on a par with its competition, TurboTax Premier. However, it still needs some interface improvements. more

The #1 problem with the re-emergence of TaxCut for Mac is the requirement that you use Safari as your browser. There is a significant number of Mac users who prefer other browsers (mine preference is FireFox) who have been left out of TaxCut still. H&R Block forced me out of TaxCut last year, and they generously sent me a complimentary copy of TaxCut this year, but it's useless to me. What a shame.

TaxCut is nice, but it continually disappoints me by not having stronger help in some places. For instance, calculating the maximum SEP-IRA contribution is an annoying pain that I have to do manually for TaxCut, but which TurboTax has a nice Maximize Contribution checkbox for. Additionally, I could not find a place to enter Individual 401(k) contributions, although TurboTax had it. Tech support told me where it should be (a location it really should have been at), but it wasn't there.
I'll continue to try TaxCut (online at least), to see if it gets better, as I'd like to have two different programs to do my return as backup against one another. But for now, TurboTax is where I'm putting my money.

I used TaxCut for six years. They dropped their MacIntosh version with no apologies. Now they're back. I their product was vastly superior to TurboTax I would switch back. But its not. Its about the same. Though both programs are a major improvement to slogging thru one's taxes with IRS instructions or a "helpful" book, neither one seems to accomodate those of us who have income from multiple employers and self employment income. I had to override calculations in both TaxCut and TurboTax. No e filing allowed.
