Interviews Walk You Through Tax Preparation

How do TurboTax and TaxCut compare? Intuit/TurboTax - H&R Block/TaxCut
The interview feature is central to both TurboTax and TaxCut, easing income tax preparation by asking simple questions to complete your tax return. Your answers early in the interview save time later when TaxCut and TurboTax avoid presenting tax topics that do not pertain to your income tax return.

Both TurboTax and TaxCut enter tax information from the interview on the correct lines in the tax return and on tax schedules. Automated calculations done throughout the TaxCut or TurboTax interview reveal the amount of tax owed or the refund to expect as you go through the tax preparation process.
