TaxCut Sucks Ass
I used TurboTax to do my taxes for the last 3-4 years, but this year I was attracted by what seemed like a cheaper alternative, TaxCut from H&R Block.
It sucks ass. If you’re tempted to use it, don’t do it.
The UI sucks ass. It tries to be easy to use, but in various ways it fails to be as easy as it could be — or as easy as TurboTax.
The software sucks ass. Sometimes you find yourself clicking a button to tell the software to do something it probably should know to do on its own. I bought a CD version, and it required some updates to be downloaded before I could finish.
The cost sucks ass. I bought it because I thought it included the cost to e-file Federal tax, but all it did was prepare my forms for me. I could have done that for free with Turbo Tax online, I think. I admit I was too lazy to do all the necessary research, but it shouldn’t be that confusing, either.
Conclusion: TaxCut sucks ass.
Does TaxCut suck ass? TurboTax is definitely the bomb. The feds are writing my check right now.
