If you only need to file a federal income tax return and anticipate having no itemized deductions, TaxCut Premium Federal is a great deal. For the same price as TurboTax Basic, TaxCut gives you fully-featured software. Those features come in handy if you discover you have an itemized deduction or two after all and if you do not use the additional features you still lose nothing.
If you need to file a state return as well as a federal return, TaxCut Federal + State will save you $15 over buying the state return separately with TaxCut Premium Federal.
TaxCut's introductory videos are a big help to first time tax software users as well.
