I'm not promoting nor encouraging you to download 'pirated'
software via the torrents. But it is useful to know that the resource
is there.
In case you need the software of previous versions which might
not be available online anymore.

You don't want to use them to download linux distributions/open office
etc as there are already very fast sites on the web that offer them.

like i said, i prefer to go the ebay route if you want these products
at a lower cost.

I know NOTHING about "torrent", but I can tell you for a FACT that the 2007
edition of H & R Tax Cut was, and is, available at a chain store called
"Dollar Tree" here in Florida.

I can not vouch for availability anywhere else, but I got a copy for A BUCK
at the Dollar Tree.

"at your own risk" is a euphemism here, too.

As far as I know, neither H&R Block (makers of TaxCut) nor
Intuit are making legal copies of their software available
via the torrent networks.

Both of them sell their software online such that once
purchased, you may download the software rather than
waiting for a CD to arrive in the mail.

But, while there are a few legit software distributed
by torrent (various linux distributions and some large
packages like OpenOffice come to mind) - the vast majority
of things available via torrent are pirated and thus
illegal.

I took a quick look and found no evidence of legal
access to TaxCut via torrent. If I'm wrong, I hope
someone will correct me. But if I'm right, I highly
recommend that folks avoid this route for getting this
software.

tax cut 2007 (premium/deduction pro) seems to be available as a
torrent (sharing) so you can try downloading it if you want to.

http://isohunt.com/torrents/?ihq=taxcut+2007

you will need a torrent downloader. note this is at your own risk. if
you are not familiar with torrents, then you probably don't want to
bother. i have been able to find turbo tax premier edition 2006 as
torrents as well. alternatively, you can find the software at half
price or cheaper on sites like ebay.

i purchased the turbo tax premier 2007 for about $30 on ebay. if you
are lucky, there might be some expiring bids with a very low bid
price. if you catch one at the right time, the cheaper it is if you
win the bid.

hope it helps.

Is it 2007 or 2006? Last years has a number of differences and wont
calculate 2007 automatically.

I couldn't resist the bargain and so I bought it and tried it out. (it
was raining last Sunday). It gave me the same answer as the home made
Excel spread sheet that I use as a prelude to pen and ink filing. Note
that efiling, and state returns cost extra.

It is easier to use than Tax-Wise, the software that the IRS provides
to volunteers who do VITA/TCE under the AARP program

There is a Dollar Tree near me, I might stop by. Interestingly, I don't
find TaxCut Basic advertised on their site or listed at Office Depot. I
wonder if they decided to not sell it, and that's why it's at the
outlet store.

So the trick is waiting until February to look for it. I'll remember
that next year. But this year I had to get started on my taxes early
because I have to file for FAFSA.

I wasn't referring to the online version. TaxCut provided a free

Our local Dollar Tree just recently got them in. 1 BUCK ! ! !
and it is the 2007 edition. When installed you have to D/L
all the changes. Took almost 10 minutes, and another 15
to install.

I checked all the Dollar stores -- including both "Dollar Tree"s -- and
nobody had Taxcut Basic 2007. I'm not sure there is a 2007 basic
edition; are you sure you didn't buy a 2006 copy leftover from last
year? :-)

I ended up buying Taxcut Premium federal+state at Sam's Club for $32.
(TC Premium federal-only was $20 at Best Buy, so for $12 I thought I'd
try the state software this year)

I checked as well. Maybe later. I'd always used TaxCut in the past,
waiting until late in the season when the office stores dropped the
price to the rebate level. Free download was even better.

I don't bother with state, because MO has a PDF form that you can cut
and paste few lines you need into, and it does the rest.

I'd use it if it could import previous year TaxCut fomrs, but I don't
think it can.

Does it include the state version?

Cal, did you get state taxes with this, too?

The IRS has allied with a number of online companies to
offer free online filing of Federal taxes for those with
AGIs under a fixed number, $54k typically. See
http://www.irs.gov/app/freeFile/jsp/index.jsp . TaxCut
online is there.

I have been experimenting with TaxCut and TaxAct the last
few days. So far I think TaxAct is easier to navigate.

Last year, you could download it for free. I tried looking around for
it but couldn't find the 2007 edition. Maybe they decided that
business model wasn't working too well... ;-)

Also, if you can bear the interface, TaxAct is free and also includes
free efile. As my father-in-law often says, "If it's free, I'll take
two."

I FOUND IT ! ! ! ! !

I happened to stop in at a Dollar store in our neighborhood called "The Dollar Tree".

Lo and behold, in a display right in front, was the disk's for H & R's "Tax Cut". At $1.00.....

There are at least 5 different so called dollar stores, but the name of this one is

The Dollar Tree.
