Mac OS X: Mac Tax Software
Mac Tax Software
by z1221 - 1/7/09 6:53 PMGood evening cnet community. As tax season is breathing down my neck, I am in need of a tax software that I can use on my Mac. Is there an affordable and easy to use tax software out there for the Mac?
Did a quick Google Search

Switch to online

I've used both turbotax and HRblock online versions. Take a look

But becareful of their website because it does not tell you that what is there right now is not Mac compatible. You don't find that out until after you have paid for it and try to download it. However, they were really good about refunding my money.
BTW

TurboTax
by onemoremile - 1/10/09 1:31 PM In reply to: Mac Tax Software by z1221I have used both TurboTax and TaxCut in the past and have found that TurboTax has become a little easier to use in the last couple of years. They are priced about the same and should both give you accurate results unless you have an extremely complicated tax return. If your income is under a certain limit you can use free online tax preparation software. You prepare your return and file it, all online and all for free. See http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=118986,00.html
TurboTax or Free Online if your taxes are simple
by mactoids - 1/22/09 4:04 PM In reply to: TurboTax by onemoremileI've used Tax software for the last 8 years and much prefer TurboTax over any others. I only switched to TaxCut for a single year - that was the year TurboTax pulled that incredibly stupid move with the activation scheme. I forget now which year that was but there was such customer base outrage that they quickly abandoned this idiocy - and I returned to using their software the following year.
Having said that... if your taxes are simple, you may be better off just using the online services instead of purchasing stand-alone software.
On line works
by boni777 - 1/19/09 1:11 PM In reply to: Mac Tax Software by z1221Last year I did my taxes on TurboTax, whatever-the-other-big-one-is and one I had never heard of, Tax Slayer. I used the same info, and Tax Slayer gave me the largest refund. I don't remember what I paid, if anything, but it wasn't much. And, it doesn't matter what computer you have, since it's online.
