I first installed this from my standard filevault account where I keep all my important stuff. The update would not install while in this account (error 1008:5….). So, I switch to my admin account to do the update. That wouldn’t work either. So I delete the app, install within my admin account and do the update. This works. I think I am home free. I switch back to my standard account where I keep all my financial data and try to start the app. It crashes on start. And the next. And the next. I switch to my admin account and it starts up fine. So I now have to change my standard account to an admin account every time I want to use TaxCut.
This shows a real lack of some basic testing.
Further testing shows this will not work. It may be a problem with running it in a filevault account, but in any case it is a lot of trouble.

I attempted to install this program (I’m a PC user, unlike the above reviewer, who said it did not work on Mac either), and I received an error that it was not compatible with my resolution settings. Since I haven’t paid for the program yet (H&R block sends them out free, and you pay after you install; I’ve used them for two years now), I am simply not going to bother messing with my settings to try to get it to work (and possibly messing something up in the process). I think this one’s a dud this year. I’ll probably be going with TurboTax, which I haven’t used in two years, this year.

for twenty dollars more you can buy it! It used to be included so read carefully if you do any charitable donations to say Goodwill or Salvation Army. In Colorado, one can efile online with a very simple form through the state for FREE so Deluxe isn’t necessary! So unless you are doing a really simple return…

I have used TaxCut in the past and found that it works. This version works as well. Delivery was very slow.

Many church ministers have filed form 4361 to be exempt from paying Self Employment Tax (SEP). Turbo Tax, and in prior years the Block Tax Cut program has picked up on the exemption and therefore does not calculate your SEP and put it on your 1040. This new program, however, asks if you have filed 4361. You check YES, and it tells you that you are exempt and will not calculate your SEP….but then it goes on to calculate it and places it on the 1040 anyway. If you try to override and remove the SEP, then you are not allowed to e-file. I called Block and explained it to them, they told me to override and mail it in. I could have done that on just a paper form from the post office.
