The product is now known as H&R Block At Home. (I think the new name is dreadful; after years of branding behind the TaxCut name, they've dumped it for the bland and generic sounding "At Home." But I digress.) I used Turbotax throughout the nineties, but when I ran into a bug that they were very slow to fix, I decided to switch to Taxcut, and I've been very happy with it. The only problem I had was for tax year 2005, when B&R Block didn't make a Mac version because, they claimed, the market was too small! I switched to Turbotax for a year, but Taxcut came back in 2006, and I switched back. Here’s a tip for users of H&R Block TaxCut: They’ve changed the name.

Many do not realize that sorting and organizing data prior to getting you taxes done cost money, unless you do it prior to going to your tax preparer. In other words, all that prop work is called "bookeeping" and bookeeping cost time and money. Great tips Phyllis.
