I always buy Tax-Cut when first released - at release (list) price, no less - then lament because it's not ready and can't be used. This year I'm gonna wait a bit and save a couple of $$. Problem is, I have no way of knowing when the SW is ready. Not final version, just one that has most of the tables and forms and can complete a basic return.
Anybody buy yet, and if so, can you let us know when it is working? I suspect it will be earlier this year just 'cause there was no major change in the tax code.
peace

Last year in late January, I bought a CD of TaxCut at Dollar Tree for $1.
It was the same as I paid $30 or so for last year except it was the current year version.I hope they have it again this year. Can't beat $1.
I was worried maybe it was the previous year version, but it was not. It did not include the state version, although it gave me the option to buy it(which I did not) as I was doing my return.

Check your state tax department...in MD you can file online for free.

I downloaded TaxAct 2009 Free Edition on Wednesday. I haven't installed it or use it yet...but the free edition worked fine last year, so I expect the same this year.

I looked at the website and didn't see the system requirements. Will the Free version run on a Mac, or does it require Windows?
I know lots of folks like the online version of tax software, but I'm just not comfortable with two aspects:
-- Data security. I can't see giving all this info to yet another company and hoping that no insider steals/sells it.
-- Inconvenience of changing software brands next year (no way to import the personal data from a previous year's online version of different software.)
Hey, is somebody out there really still using a Mac! Neat! What next, an AOL email address?
