Complaints about the 2007 tax-year software have been flooding in, making it necessary for Ed Foster to file this late return on the state of tax programs in Taxing software experiences. The largest number of gripes this year concerned Intuit’s TurboTax, but less well-known tax software vendors came in for questions about their accuracy as well. And H&R Block’s TaxCut was the subject of one short piece earlier this year. This Gripe Line account may not “help to weed out the bad apples, because it seemed like just about all of the programs came in for criticism on support, accuracy, or even privacy grounds.” Still, keep the blog as a reference when deciding which tax software alternative you’ll try next year, and also post comments about your own personal taxing experience.
