PLEASE DO THIS NOW!įYI: I was a Beta tester for TurboTax this year, and the product seemed quite stable and solid. I also requested that at the least, they create a conversion program that will change their 2004 file into something that 2005 TurboTax users can use so we are not left hanging on the end of their product.

In the comment field, tell them you object to the removal of the Mac software, and let them know because of that you will no longer user or recommend their service either. There are PLENTY of people who will help you with your taxes, many of them even cheaper!įill it out accurately with real names and numbers and then select TaxCut as the product (any) and under category, select Product Availability and OTHER under sub-category. They do not want to support you as a Macintosh user, do not support them either.

If you changed and find your own solution, please tell us here.Īs for H&R Block: I say BOYCOTT them! Do not buy their tax software for the PC, but also if you use H&R Block for taxes, find someone else this year. So, Macintosh users, what can you do? If you were savvy enough to stay with Turbo Tax, good thing.
I will check this out too, but typically, on-line systems are for SIMPLE tax returns, so I suspect this will not work either. Really? How do I import my Quicken files? How do I load my last year’s tax file? The very friendly and unhelpful person went, “What? You just enter all your data onto the web.” When I explained that I run two business and trade a lot of stock, all of which is tracked in Quicken, all of which their regular product DID import, I got another “oh?” My guess is that the web product is for simple tax users, and this will not work. They did tell me that my option as a Mac user is to use their on-line system. That SUCKS! But this will for sure keep me from trying TaxCut should it ever show upĥ).
If none of that works, I am back to TurboTax for the Mac and importing BY HAND all the info from last year’s tax forms. As to why, I have no idea! However, Tax Export files are just text files, so this has real possibilities.Ĥ).

If #2 above does work, I wonder if the PC version of TaxCut 2005 will be able to read my Quicken export files from my Mac so I can import all that data? I KNOW that Windows Quicken will NOT read Macintosh Quicken data files. “Uh, we don’t have any Macs here.” Read: NO, we have no clue if this will work. I would hope so, but again, who knows? I asked the “tech support” guy at H&R Block, and he said, and I quote, “If you can get it onto a floppy, I do not see why it should not work.” When I explained that Macs did not have floppies, he said, “Oh?” I asked if this had been tried or tested, since they WERE leaving Mac users in the cold, at least they could help us make it work. Since I can run TaxCut on a PC (sigh!), can I move my 2004 Macintosh TaxCut data file to the PC and have it import properly on the PC. I just got TurboTax, so stand by for that news.Ģ). I hope so, but I am not holding my breath. Will this year’s Quicken TurboTax final product actually import TaxCut from last year.

I am sure there are a few more, and feel free to add your own:ġ). Well, I plan to try a few things and see how it works, so look back for some updates on this process. And now it’s gone! So now what do I do this year? It was an excellent program, great interface, and from my complex tax experience, had very few issues. Of course, they forgot to tell us it could be their last year for this product when those of us switched, and now they leave those of use who did switch with VERY few options.Īs some readers may recall, I began to become fed up with the bugs in TurboTax from years before, so last year I finally decided to finally switch to TaxCut. Seems they made it very easy to jump to a sinking ship. Also note that TaxCut DID import Macintosh Quicken Data files as well, which also made it easy to switch to TaxCut. Note that last year, to make it easier to switch TO TaxCut, TaxCut DID import TurboTax files from the year before, which is why it was so easy to switch. Well now, what a fine mess this makes! Turns out, if you used TaxCut last year, you are screwed this year as TurboTax, the only tax program left for the Macintosh does NOT import last year’s tax file from TaxCut (last time I tried.).
So I called their customer service number and the very polite woman told me that, “due to poor sales, H&R has decided to discontinue the Mac product.” You get it free, but pay if you use it is the way it works. I received a “free” disk in the mail for this year’s TaxCut program. This year, they simply dropped the Mac without notice or warning.
For the past few years, H&R Block people have pushed to get coverage for TaxCut, their excellent tax software for both PC and Mac.
