So the products are dead even, then the consumer should select the one that
has the best easy of use IMHO.  This year that goes to TaxCut as it does not
force you to jump through hoops like Intuit does.
I too have used Intuit tools for my taxes in the past and they work well,
but with all things being equal I will no longer use their products due to
their ongoing poor treatment of their customers.
