I have been using TaxAct for a while (largely because it's free), although
I did pay for deluxe (with state of Calif) for a couple of years.
Has anyone used more two of the major three among TaxAct, TurboTax, and
TaxCut?
Seems everyone swears the product they first bought and continue using.
But I want to know what the taxprep professionals say, or has there been a
systematic study?

I wouldn't bother loading the software if they gave it to me.

Sure, tax preparation pros and other financial experts might do it the old
fashioned way (just on paper, or PDF form) because they can do it in their
sleep and have memorized Title 26 and the statutes on income/sales taxation
for their particular states.
But tax determination application software is useful for the do-it-
yourselfer working up individual returns who only do it once a year and
don't keep up on the latest acts of Congress affecting tax law.
I was just curious who did it the best.

They all give the same results, if that's what you want to know.

I thought I recalled a study with moderately complex returns that
showed they all gave different results (and phone calls to the IRS
gave yet more different results).
