	Feb 11 2009	BLLOYD This darned thing... I just got through spending about an hour inputting salary, dividends, interest, withholdings, etc. It says "I'm going to check for errors now... should I update first?" so I say OK. Well, it UPDATES all right, but it DOES NOT ASK ME TO SAVE! ARGH! I guess I'm used to auto-saving of data, but FOOSH, it did NOT save, it just updated itself, quit and restarted, and LOST ALL THE DATA I just entered. I can enter the stuff again, but COME ON, GUYS, A WARNING AT LEAST?!?! (Version 2008)		0

	Feb 11 2009	MIKAELF "TaxCut gives you 5 free federal e-files and multiple returns" How can something be FREE if you have to PAY something first? Just as stupid as "free" delivery of merchandise. Look up the definition of free. /Mikael (Version 2008)		-1

BLLOYD The FILING is free, it's not that the PRODUCT is free.

Duh.

PEN_SQ The important part that the "five free e-file" says is that you can e-file 4 other friends' returns before the program tells you it's time to buy a new license. If your fifth friend wants to do a return, then they could still print one out and mail it in (it was that way in TC'07, at least).

Preparers cannot charge an _extra_ premium for e-filing. Still, there are a lot of compliance issues, very little time to write and certify the return preparation, IRS formatting, and transmission software (starting when Congress finishes writing the law in January!). The expense of all that is figured into the box.
