Recommended Posts

So I guess I'm almost ready to start the fun...

Any recommendations on software?
I've used TurboTax mostly....but I'm curious what else is good out there. Looks like TurboTax hiked their prices...
>:(



H&R blockTaxCut pro doesn't suck. I switched after the copy protection fiasco where TurboTax didn't run on my machine and I had to buy a copy of TaxCut.

My accountants use to charge me $70. The difference between that and a tax program was inconsequential. Then it was $150. Still worth it. Then it was $450 with filling out their information packet taking as much time as using a tax program to complete it.

Be very careful with Turbotax!! The Secretary of the Treasury used it and it (allegedly) caused a $34,000 error!!! It must be very difficult for us commoners to use.:P

34K to the secretary of treasury is probably the equiv. of 34 dollars to us.

I would say TurboTax - I've used it for the past 8 years - love it. This year (now that I'm married), we've got people.... H&R....

lol...I hate thinking about it. If I don't notice the software in the sale ads, then I don't have to do it, right? :ph34r:

I've used www.esmarttax.com for a few years now. 1st year they were on their own, then they were purchased by liberty tax service. I tried them the 1st year because my accountants' figures just didn't seem right. Boy, was I right. Over $2600.00 (combined state and federal) more that I got back.

Last year a friend went to H&R. Came back with the paperwork and asked me to look it over. Ran it through the online forms, and found a bunch of deductions that were missed (small business owner) to the tune of $1895.00 less that she had to pay in.

As long as the prices for this service stay around where they are (CHEAP!), I'm sold.

my wife signed me up for the forums on that site after hearing about it on dave ramsey. i made a couple of posts last night, but it said that posts need to be reviewed and approved by a mod before getting posted. my stuff hasn't been posted yet. that's gay. you should use your super-moderator powers to put the smack-down on them and tell them how its really done.
