No Mac version. I’ve used H&R Block for years and want to keep it going, but I need some of the functionality in Premium & Business.

I generally like TaxCut and have used it before, but … The TaxCut Federal + State has an error. When I try to download the one state return which is included in the $34.99 price … I’m prompted to provide my credit card information and pay another $29.99. I contacted customer service and was told that they didn’t have an answer and would get back to me in two business days … which they haven’t done.

I moved mid-year and have to file taxes in two states. I read somewhere that a second state costs $15 … but that was wrong. It’s actually $29.90 - which is the same price you pay to download the full federal + state version. A bit of a rip-off in my opinion.

A product like this is crying to be compared to the free products out there. What can it do that something like Paint. NET for example not do. The truth is that if you don’t intend on doing more than cropping pictures to put on your blog and maybe remove some red eye from your pictures from the birthday party then you probably don’t need this. But if you intend on doing more, cleaning up photos beyond the basics then Paint Shop Pro is the right product.

This is a security code and a URL to a website. There is no disk included. The product overall is good and reasonably priced. Just remember to never renew this (or any other security software) from the company that makes it. Always go to amazon.
Why no disk? They give several reasons that include saving the environment but the best reason is that if they need to upgrade the software you will automatically get the most up-to-date version when you download.

First, why do these virus programs all want to try to install something you don’t want. In this case it’s a toolbar and my daughter wasn’t able to get the software installed without the toolbar. Please, stop including these things!!!nnOtherwise it is acceptable. It was easy enough to install by my daughter without a single request for help so I consider that a good thing. The software itself is nothing fantastic but nothing bad.

First, don’t buy this from the Norton site or let your version automatically renew. It is much cheaper to buy it new from Amazon. Just make sure that after you install it you go to the Norton site and turn off the automatic renewal if it is on. Norton will warn you a month before they renew so if you forget you will have time to turn it off.
I have been using this product since it came out and it just gets better and better.

I had been interested in joining ancestry.com for a long time and I am happy that getting this software gave me the excuse to join the site. However, the software itself doesn’t provide any features that make purchasing it worth while. I didn’t really find anything that was worth purchasing the software as opposed to just using the web site. Also, I did find some problems with keeping my online family tree in sync with the software version.
