Since taxes must be filed by all Americans, software vendors tend to aim their products toward the average consumer rather than the technical genius.
Tax software is, for the most part, very intuitive.
If you understand the concept of filing taxes in general, the software will only make it easier. Products, such as TurboTax by Intuit and Kiplinger TaxCut by Block Financial Corp ., usually offer wizards to walk users through tasks, and hefty explanations of tax-related terms. Many tax-preparation programs also let users file their taxes electronically.
