Re: H&R Block TaxCut coming back to the Mac
A few years ago I purchased the H&R TC for Business Windows edition. The box said it could do W2s and 1099s.
If you're not familiar with the Federal requirements, you can not submit 1099s without the 1096 transmittal form.
TaxCut did NOT include 1096 forms!! I even called them to complain about it and they said to get the forms directly from the IRS. Wha? I purchased the program because it was too late to get the forms from the IRS. They explained that the IRS did not give them proper authorization to print this form.
The 1099 forms will not be accepted by the IRS if you can't submit them with the 1096 forms.
Luckily at the last minute I found a copy of TurboTax Business which always includes any possible needed form which are ALL suitable for printing and IRS submission.
H&R TaxCut was totally useless. I figured that if they couldn't include such basic and simple business functionality, then I couldn't trust any of their other tax packages.
Not to mention the overall slow and clunky performance, constant crashing, having to re-enter company name/address on every single form, etc. It seemed to me that TaxCut was just another way to print your info on pre-printed IRS forms using your computer as a fancy typewriter.
