TaxCut Online and 2007 Tax Law Changes
There has been a lot of talk about the economic stimulus package and tax rebate among the personal finance bloggers last week. Today, I am going to shift gear a little and start talking about income tax return. Traditionally, I use TaxCut to prepare my tax, but this year I am going to try TaxCut Online. The nice thing about the online version is that I don’t have to pay until I am ready to file. This means that I can peruse their help section and interactive video library free of charge.
For example, the first interactive video reviews information about 2007 tax law changes. These changes include:
- New Rules for Giving to Charity — now requires receipt or bank record no matter how small
- Mortgage Insurance Premiums May be Deductible
- Personal exemption increases from $3,300 to $3,400
- Standard deduction increases
- Single: from $5,150 to $5,350
- Head of household: from $7,550 to $7,850
- Married filing jointly: from $10,300 to $10,700
Alternatively, you can also consult IRS web site for the complete list of 2007 tax law changes and highlights of 2007 tax changes.
As I go through my tax preparation process, I will be sharing more information with you. In the mean time, here are some tax related posts:

I’ve used TaxCut for 7 or 8 years and it has always worked very well for me. I may try the online version this year, though. Thanks for pointing it out. I had forgotten there even WAS an online version
Ron, I typically use the desktop version too. However, a friend pointed out that I can look around in the online version without paying until I am ready to file. That’s why I am having a look. By the way, the online version looks surprisingly similar to the desktop version.
