In case any one really IS keeping count, I used TurboTax for the Mac
for my '90 taxes and MacInTax for my '91 taxes.  I had no tax related
problems either year and (unfortunately) my taxes are not trivial.
This is not to discount anyone else's negative experiences, but I like
the problem and didn't hesitate to order it again (I haven't used this
year's version yet).  I won't consider TaxCut until they can handle
North Carolina state taxes, even though I use Managing Your Money.
