Other than the option of printing a paper return, help and planning are the answers. TurboTax Deluxe offers both in abundance. A quick scan of four such choices saves slogging through four separate screens of similar questions. Not to be outdone by TurboTax, TaxCut also has a tax adviser feature, with experts for a fee, and a good help library. After the interview is complete, Taxcut's Click and Fix Audit feature is a must, both for flagging incorrect or incomplete entries, and for preventing a visit from the auditor.
Electronic filing is free for the first federal return, with a mail-in rebate.
There's no Web version of TaxCut.
