  • Honestly, I couldn't tell you the difference between the two either, but I just filed my taxes for the first time by myself this year (parents used to do them for me). I checked out a bunch of different sites and ended up going with TaxBrain because I have a Mac and because it was FREE. If you check out this site:

    You can buy TaxBrain, but then there is a mail-in rebate for the same cost as the product. I filed last week and got my return in my checking account this morning. It is totally confusing to try and decide which one to use, so I just chose the one that was free :-)
  • Taxcut is much much cheaper than Turbotax. Turbo outdated software to calculated your tax, so the result can jump up and down if your don't know how to refresh the software. The last time I use it was 2006, and I lost 90 dollars due to this software stupid behavior. Taxcut is cheaper, but it does not give you good interview like Turbo. Still Taxcut does not change its result everyday you try to fill in the same infomation. This is my Taxcut 2007!
  • Interesting article. However, I would like have seen something about a company called Citizen Tax. I have used them the last couple of years and have had no problems. They offer federal and state return combined for only $9.99. That is for all their forms too, no fee increases for certain forms like some of these other sites. If you are interested in an easy tax filing this season I would defenitely check them out. I highly recommend http://citizentax.com
  • I just went to citizentax,com and it says Your Federal Return is only $17.76 and your State Return is only $12.88. Wonder what's up with that????
