i haven't tried both of them - only TaxCut. you can currently get it at the discounted price of $24.95 by going to http://www.taxcut.com/macworld this special offer they distributed at mwsf expires sat. jan 18. while our taxes aren't terribly complex, we've found it easy enough to use. (hint - my GF the non-computer litereate person does her own by herself)
