 TaxCut Home & Business not for Vista, 2008-01-31
The disk says it works with Vista but it doesn't.
It installs slick. Then you click.
The "update" button generates the error message: "Run time error 339 Component comdlg32.ocx or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered a file is missing or invalid."
This OCX is associated with MS VisualBasic. I have the developer's version of VB installed and the comdlg32.ocx works fine. So, I installed the earlier version of VB. Same error. I manually registered the OCX - same error.
After the help support "chat" folks hung up on me for the third time, I realized that H&R Block wasn't actually going to stand behind their product.
Don't bet your business on a product that has a poorly written install routine, isn't tested on Vista, and has zero tech support. Their website is also awful as it doesn't list the product code for the CD I bought, doesn't list "Home & Business" as an option, and punishes you by making you enter a page of personal information to get to Help which isn't.
Just awful!

Don't bother wasting your time if you own Vista, 2008-01-27
This product does not work with Windows Vista. The software on the mail out disk is still in Beta and will not install on Windows Vista. Funny enough the tech suport guy tried to blame Vista and not address the real issue that Tax Cut was not properly developed and tested. I have been using and building computers for 15+ years and I have not run into install problems like this since Windows 95:(
While attempting to install Premium with E-file from the mailed out disk, the install program errors out with a file permission change error. Do not waste your time calling tech support unless you want a refund. I spent an hour fighting with this software before calling support and wasted another 40 minutes with tech support retrying the same things. Finally I was told that someone would call me back at a later date to help resolve the issue. At this point I demanded my money back since they would not compensate me for the time I already wasted not to mention the time I would be spending to trouble shoot there install problem. No more Tax Cut for me, ever!

 Good For Normal Taxes, 2008-01-12
Very good product for the "normal" tax payer. Schedule C info is very good but some of the intricacies of LLC and S-Corp fillings are a bit harder to understand and the questions are not as clear as they should be.
Bottom line, if you own a home and you have mortgage and/or a sole propitiership, this is top notch 5 stars. If you recently formed an LLC and are looking towards this product I would strongly recommend you speak to a tax professional ( A CPA not one of the chain stores) instead.
