I have been using Best's PC Taxcut for several years.  I like the user
interface much better than the other packages.  This one is organized
by item type (income, expenses, information, deductions, etc.) rather
than merely 'computerizing' the forms.  You give this program your
data, and *it* figures out where everything belongs on all the forms.

PC Taxcut used to be quite expensive (over $300), but last year they
dropped the price to $75, removed the copy protection, and got to be
much more reasonable to deal with.  They actively encourage you to let
your friends use it to do their taxes, in the hopes that your friends
will be impressed and buy a copy.

I have no connection with Best Programs, except as a satisfied
customer.
