Hey, guys. Each of these "canned" programs have plusses and minuses. And,
I would venture that some (very famous) users deliberately choose packages
that have defects they wish to exploit. Their defense- TurboTax made me do
it, TaxCut said I could. The recent episodes have now exposed that as BS
and I doubt they (our politicians) will try that again.
If your taxes are simple, then either one will do. If you are
self-employed, then there could be a preference, but really a practitioner
(Yes, this recipient is one) is far more experienced and knowledgeable to
develop queries that are NOT canned- and knows what can and can't be done,
to really save you money. Likewise, with corporate taxes, there are issues
that the standard interview will fail.
Remember (go ahead, attack me), JacksonHewitt, H&R Block, etc. may have ONE
licensed or knowledgeable practitioner- but the rest of the lot in their
employ- the ones you are going to get to see- are generally not.
You pays your money and you takes your choice. Or, better yet.... Caveat
emptor.

I'd stay away from Turbo Tax, I doubt you'll get the...understanding Geitner
got after cheating on his taxes if you make a 'mistake'.
