I received TaxCut a couple of days ago. Did some trial runs on my anticipated taxes. So far, I like it better than MacInTax (which I used last year for the first time; never used any tax prep software before that). However, I managed to crash the thing, and can repeat the crash at will. Didn't lose any data though. I think it still needs some work -- for instance, there is a reference in one of the help windows to a Self vs. Spouse checkbox at the top of form SE. But no such checkbox exists. I couldn't get TaxCut to change the form to refer to her rather than me. I had to create a new form SE. It recalculates the whole tax return even when nothing has been changed, under some circumstances. Like when you ask for the summary of the return. However, MacInTax didn't have a summary that I can recall, and I really like having the summary. Not all features are implemented in the preview version, which is what is available now. Despite all this, I like it better than MacInTax. Cheaper, too (I got the 19.95 intro offer, extra 10 or 15 for the preview version). -- --------------------------------------------------- Don MacQueen preferred macq@llnl.gov o.k. macq@alle.llnl.gov Lawrence Livermore Nat.
