TurboTax,… it has been around for quite some time. It is easy to navigate through. You can find it at most stores pretty easily. It is very known.

Intuit TurboTax Premier Federal + State 2007
(*est. $65)
Best tax software for complex returns.
This year, reviewers say TurboTax edges out its nearest competitor, H&R Block’s TaxCut, as the best tax-preparation software. TurboTax has a more comprehensive interview process, especially for complicated topics such as multiple stock sales, business deductions, depreciation and mortgage refinancing, as well as rental income and expenses. Reviews say better guidance and more comprehensive support for less common scenarios distinguish TurboTax from competitors. TurboTax Premier includes federal software and one free download of state software. Federal and state e-filing cost an additional $14.95 each. If you don’t need the extra tools for stock sales or rental property, TurboTax Deluxe (*est. $40) is less expensive.
HR Block TaxCut Premium
Best budget tax software
Reviews say TaxCut Premium runs slightly behind TurboTax Premier in sophistication, but TaxCut is cheaper. If your taxes are straightforward, reviewers say TaxCut is the best value, and if you have used TaxCut in the past, reviews say there’s little reason to switch. One unique feature is that if you are audited, H&R Block will help you prepare for your audit meetings with no extra charge (provided you e-file your return). Federal and state e-filing cost an extra $16 each. TaxCut Premium + State + E-file (*est. $50) includes free e-filing and a free consultation with a tax professional. TaxCut is compatible with both Windows and Mac computers.

Most reviews this year say TurboTax like everyone else is saying. However, there are also many that like TaxCut. Those same people have been using it for years. TurboTax is definitely the easiest to use and uses a simple interview format to complete your tax return. It also features a richer feature set. However if you are on a budget, TaxCut may be for you since it is cheaper. Check out http://taxsoftware2008.com for more tips on how to choose the right software.
