Product Review: TaxCut vs. TurboTax

Posted on February 7, 2007

For all of you wondering what the bottom line difference between the two major contender’s in tax preparation software. From personal experience: $1. That’s right, the total return I’ll receive amounted to a $1 difference. I tried going through the free TurboTax software but upgraded twice to accomplish basic tasks like mortgage insurance and Section C for self-employment. I still need to file. I believe Tax Cut will run $35 w/ the filing fee. Turbo Tax would end-up costing $75. TurboTax was a little more user-friendly, but emphases on little. I certainly don’t think it’s worth the extra $40. So, if you have a really simple return to file, you might try the free TurboTax route, but otherwise, I’d recommend going with Tax Cut. Let me know if you find any difference.
