Re: I almost forgot,.......my taxes!!!!
Actually, I've never tried TaxCut because I've always had TurboTax (from at least the late- or even mid-90's) and haven't had any problems, so why switch? I did have one problem this year, but it wasn't with TurboTax; it was with my Roadrunner connection. In order to use TurboTax, you have to have a good internet connection in order for the software to search for updates, etc. I had to fix my Roadrunner connection before I could use TurboTax. (This is why I was so cautious about recommending it to you for this year.)
The first time you use TurboTax will be the hardest because you have to enter everything manually, but the following year(s), it becomes so easy because of how it fills in the information and all you have to do is confirm that it's correct. If things have changes (new job, a different bank or investor institution), then make the changes. So simple. And it will be reflected the following year.
Also, it is tax deductible (it's considered the same as paying a tax preparer, which is what TurboTax is). The e-filing is great, though you might have to pay (some years, it's free; other years it not -- I think it's based on the how the software package is sold -- but either way, I would choose to e-file). Another plus: you get confirmation by the Federal and State government by email that your tax form has been "accepted", which comes within two or three days after you send. And if you have a refund, you can have it electronically deposited in your bank. If you have to pay, that's another story.
