H&R Block TaxCut 2007 Premium Federal + State + e-File bundles the most often-used federal forms and schedules, including those necessary to report rental income, investments and itemized deductions.

TaxCut has a very simple user interface, with tabs that separate the federal, state and actual filing sections. When you select a tab, you start the interview process, which is straightforward and easy to navigate. Even with an easy question-and-answer format, though, preparing taxes can be an intimidating process; luckily, TaxCut includes a searchable help system that can answer most common questions about what you need to complete the necessary forms. If you're still stuck or you need expert tax help, TaxCut includes one phone or e-mail session with an H&R Block "Ask a Tax Advisor" professional. Because you're only allowed one free session, we highly recommend working your way through the entire interview process before you make the call or send the e-mail.

TaxCut performs comprehensive error checking during the interview process, as well as a final check of your entire tax return. We like that TaxCut provides a comparison of your tax return data to national averages for similar types of returns. This is a handy way to see if your return falls within the established norms or if it may generate a raised eyebrow somewhere along the way; should that eyebrow raise to audit level, H&R Block offers Worry-free Audit Support via a representative who will guide you through the audit process and even represent you, if you decide that you need that level of support.

Other helpful features include a Retirement Savings Enhancer and future tax-year planning.

H&R Block TaxCut 2007 Premium Federal + State + e-File provides an effective solution for preparing your own taxes. Its simple interface, error-checking feature and searchable help system can help you complete your tax return in a timely and relatively stress-free fashion.
