For preparing a personal tax return, TaxCut's interview asks simple, direct questions tailored to the tax situation. Based on the answers, TaxCut does all the calculations and selects and completes the necessary forms. Or skip the interview and go directly to the forms. TaxCut double-checks the results and reviews the return like a personal accountant, checking for missing data, pointing out deductions that might have been missed, and flagging entries that might set off alarms at the IRS.
For a business return, get the same helpful features, but tailored for a businesses' tax needs. All forms are IRS approved. Complete the forms right on a computer while the software does all the calculations and carries entries to other related business forms. The interview feature helps avoid mistakes on the return. Expert tax help is built into the interview, and official IRS publications and instructions are available at the click of a mouse. Multimedia tutorials guide users throughout the preparation of their returns. TaxCut also lets users plan ahead and maximize deductions with the built-in Tax Planner.
