    Tax software for this year?

    So, what are you guys going to use to do your taxes this year?
    I used TurboTax 2001 last year, but I wasn't too happy when Intuit screwed me over on the rebates (they said I didn't fill it out properly, and "returned" my envelopes, but managed to keep the receipt so that I couldn't file it again).

    Now there's this:

    Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.

    Heh. Well, the product activation stuff was worrying... until I found out that you could just hit "cancel" halfway through and punch in your code. LOL.

    NICE protection, Intuit.

        Yeah, but Intuit also changed QuickBooks. The latest upgrade makes it so that all of your sendings go through their server, period. They're going from a cool company with a great product to scumbags.

          I've been using Tax Cut for the last several years and it's been quite satisfactory.

            For the Canadians, I recommend Taxwiz.

              If you have any kind of investment account(or regular checking/savings accounts), they will usually offer free or highly discounted tax software to do your taxes.
              Personally, I have been using TurboTax for the last two years and have had no problems whatsoever.

                    That's what I'll be doing once they've finally sent it to me

                      I have used taxact online filing for the past 4 years, including this year. It is great, i love it! The only problem is that you can get your taxes all done on it as early as you get your W-2s, but you can't e-file your stuff til after the 10th of January....who knows why. Other than that, it's great.

                        The wife doesn't get her W-2's 'til the end of the month since legally employers don't have to issue them until then

                        Once we have them our refunds typically come back in 7-10 days since we file both the Federal and State electronically. They direct deposit 'em right into our checking account.
