I've been using TaxCut for 4 years now and it's very simple. Back
then I tried using TT but seemed like overkill on all the reading.
With TaxCut it's very easy to use and guides you through the whole
process.
If you used TT you can import those files into TaxCut for last years
returns. Also, I had formatted my hard drive, but kept my previous
years returns, so I just uploaded last years data and took me less
than 15 minutes to file both my Federal and State Taxes with itemized
deductions and file electronically.
I like to get the Deluxe, because it comes with IRS publications, tax
advisor, and you get the rebate for the state tax. After I installed
the TaxCut cd, I then go to the website and download and purchase the
state, then turn in the mail in rebate to get my money back for the
state purchase. You also get rebate to file electronic.
