Title: review of taxcut standard
Review: I believe Taxcut is a poorly written program because it requires the individual to make the calculations (or enlist the aid of H&R; Block), rather than enable the computer to make the calculations.I volunteer to do taxes as a part of an AARP program every year. Part of my qualifications involves filling out practice tax returns. One of my practice tax returns involved an individual with a pension 1099R which she had paid into. These type of pensions require that I subtract a portion of her pension based on how long she had received her pension, her age, and other factors. Part of her pension would be taxed and part of it wouldn't. All the information I needed was provided. When I got to this portion of the tax, Taxcut stated that I need to figure the taxable amount and then it referred me to various IRS publications. I believe this should have been part of the program.
Is the review positive or negative?
