Tax preparation software

Certainly not specific to Windows Me, but would anyone here care to comment
about tax preparation software? I'm ready to give it a try but I'd like to
know if there's one you definitely favor or one you particularly hate.

TIA

Ken,

Since this newsgroup is read worldwide it would help if you were to
indicate the country concerned. Don't assume that everyone reading this
NG is in the same country as yourself. For example I somewhat doubt the
software I use, provided free by the UK's HM Revenue & Customs. is going
to be of use to you.

Let me guess.....you are on the West Coast of the US....right? So my
TaxWiz program won't help you at all, lol. It is Canadian. I have seen
mention somewhere of a "Turbo Tax".....that's American I believe.

Can't help you, unless you move to the Great White North!!

Cheers....Heather

You've got that right, Heather, "Turbo Tax" is the "prevailing" program in
this "neck of the woods".
If Justin needs more options, I suggest he go to Mr. Google.

I have used Turbo Tax for 2 years now. It's pretty straight forward and
seems to run fine on ME. Please note that it requires IE 6, which you
should have, but if you don't it's on the disk.
Hope that helps,
Melinda

Thank you, Melinda. I was hoping for an answer from someone who would
provide a personal testimony, and particularly about TurboTax.

"Mr. Google," who I checked pretty thoroughly before posing my question,
gives me plenty of sources but little specific help. There seem to be two
primary programs, TurboTax and Tax Cut, for use in the US, and not
necessarily on the west coast, with TurboTax the most popular one.

In which case why didn't you include that detail in your post rather than
assuming that everyone reading your post lived in the US and knew what
software you were considering? The west coast reference was simply made
by Heather based on your time zone, nothing more, and thus used to guess
that you were located in the US.

Outed!! (G) Right on that one, plus I recognized the ISP name as being
American, IIRC. But on the other hand......nah, not going to go there!!
Something to do with the word "insular". LOL.

I believe the term was isolationim, and please don't blame the average US
citizen for that...It was started vy a bunch of folks of a particular
political party and had little to do with how most of us think, which is
unfortunately narrow minded and egocentric.
