Me too, but to use it you have to pay.

There are some things I just don't do myself: clean my house and do our taxes leap to mind. Leave those things in the hands of trained professionals. Passing on this one. Darn. Only need a couple more woots/wine.woots to get my new-colored box. Maybe next week...?

Mainal!!! How the heck are ya?

Good news, main man, they got the millenium bug worked out of this product!

I just paid $19.99 for federal version only At Office Depot
Good Woot but to late for me

Well, I did my taxes like 2 weeks ago...in fact, im getting my return back here this week...so, this doesn't help =/

was about to pick up the taxcut premium cd from the store when I saw this Woot!

awesome deal, especially since it also comes with the will making software. I was about to buy the Quicken version, but at this price for tax+will its a great deal

software is very easy to use, ive been doing mine and friends/family for the past 6 years using H&R softs

just a Hilight recap for noobs to lazy to read the whole thread

Comes with:
2006 taxcut premium federal + state (you get to pick your state)
Will Maker Software (also lets you do estates and trusts)
256 MB usb stick- reusable

Will need:
Internet connection for software update and tax changes updates

Does Not include:
E-Filing (will cost ~16 for Federal and 16 for each state)

Im in TX so no state needed

1. I am a Mac user....
2. It will not do my taxes...
3. Too late for most people to use...
4. Didn't H & R Block send this out for free?????

When is the good stuff comming????

WHAT IS WRONG BY JUST DOING YOUR TAXES ONLINE??
AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE ON THE WEB?
WHAT A WASTE PUTTING IT ON 256MB USB! HAHA

I agree for most filers - but I have personal and corporate (our businesses) taxes to file, so I leave the heavy lifting to my accountant. And I file two extensions

Dang thats a nice deal for the package it is. I wish I had $20 for that. At least I already have the software though.

EAT BACON!

Yeah the cd is free but if you use it, you have to register it which includes paying for the software...been there done that

The general rule on the tax softwares: You have to buy the highest end edition to file a multi-state tax return.

so yea income tax on the internet?

On the TaxCut page they list different versions of the software. Is this Premium+State msrp $29.95, or Premium+State+E-File msrp $59.95? If it doesn't include E-File, is there an additional charge to file? What would that charge be? Sorry, but this isn't clear in the description to me so I can't tell if it's a good deal or not. Thanks!

This is a good deal. My kids can use the thumb drive for saving school work.

I'm not quite understanding what this thing really does, is it like tax software on the drive, or what? I typically use turbo tax, is this compatible or do I even need it?

Go to www.irs.gov and get Free or almost free Efile software, I paid 9.99 to efile my Federal and My state combined, and I got my Refund all ready..............

Now give me something to spend it on WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Different perspectives... Your area's cost of living must be pretty high. $52,000 is a king's salary for a single twentysomething in a small city. That's $25+/hour, or probably $600+ per week after taxes. Around here, a week of that would nearly get you a 2-bedroom apartment with heat and water included.

Tell me about it.. thats how much I pulled in last year (pre tax) and I still live at home with mum and dad. Lol. Kinda sux living in the land of microsofties and $6 cups of coffee.

I love the idea of the software on a flash drive. But, I did my taxes and got my refund already. The software os great for those of you who still need to file. If I remember correctly, the electronic filing fee for Federal is $15.95 this year.

If you are a customers of State Farm insurance, bank or mutual funds. you can prepare your taxes online and efile (with Intuit software) for FREE. I found this out this year AFTER I had already bought software, unfortunately.

Taxes....?! TAXES...?!

Um.... no. They sent you a CD that will let you buy the software online and then run. They send them to me all the time too, and tried to use it last year, and it was more expensive than just going to the store and buying the software there. I've been using TaxCut for years, and buy it at the store every year, and get the free after rebate stuff with it. Last year I got a Canon Pixma printer for free too.

can file both for free.

ummm, this year?

Woot! Woot! My first woot purchase. But when will it ship? I've been spoiled by newegg and just assumed it would be shipped out next day.

I live in NY. Does this include city taxes?

WOW!

It just came in, 2-28-7!!!

That's FAST...2 days...thanks w00t.

Sent the following to Woot supportyesterday, they requested I send to RMA, so i resent today

Hi Woot Support Staff!
I recenty purchased and received H&R Block TaxCut Premium Federal &
State on 256MB Thumb Drive with woot order #--------

I purchased due to the product being advertised as having both the
TaxCut 2006 software and the WillPower will making software included

Exerpt from product blog: "Also included on the thumb drive are
thrilling items like Kiplinger's Tax and Financial Planning Library,
WILLpower estate-planning software, and a complete set of up-to-date IRS
publications. Don't stay up all night reading them!"

The product I received did not contain the Willpower software or the
Kiplingers libraries on the drive. It also makes no mention of either
anywhere on the packaging

Did I receive the wrong product version, or was this advertised
incorrectly?
If the wrong version was sent can I get the correct one with the
WillPower software?

Thanks,

I just got mine, I don't see anything about the bonus programs either, I wonder if I should open it. Did anyone get a version with the extra software?

Received mine also - NO WillPower software.

Ditto - kinds of bums me out because I mostly baught it for the other software.

haven't opened mine yet. But, there's no verbiage on the package regarding the willpower software. Has anyone heard back from woot central regarding this issue?

Just to affirm every Mac user's fears: this does not work on your Macintosh without a Windows guest operating system.

Luckily for you, Parallels has a demo option that you can run for 15 days or something.

Anyone have additional instructions on how to RMA (for those of us hoping to get the Kiplinger's and WillPower add-ons)?
