Which forms do you need. I have TaxAct Deluxe and it has Schedule C,
Schedule SE, Form 4562, including Section 179 expenses, plus forms for
SEP and Simple retirement plans. Those are the only small business
forms I used before I incorporated last year. 

I am using both TaxAct and TaxCut this year in place of TurboTax. (I
purchased both so I could determine which I liked the best.) So far,
the only limitation I have found is that TaxAct does not have Form
8801 while TaxCut does. I have an unusual situation this year which
may require a carryover to Form 8801 next year, so I will use TaxCut
for my 2002 taxes. I completed my son's simpler tax return with TaxAct
Federal and NY State.
