Turbotax One of the advantages of being a minor is that you don’t have to file tax returns. But, for those of you out there that do, Macworld has provided reviews and a comparison of the two major tax products for the Mac — H&R Block’s TaxCut (which is returning from a one-year hiatus from OS X) and Intuit’s TurboTax.

Both products are similar in many ways — each have you fill out an easy-to-use questionnaire to file your taxes, come in a variety of different versions (ranging from the very basic federal returns to more complicated ones involving self-employment, securities, and state tax), and have online counterparts. Macworld likes both TurboTax and TaxCut a lot, though it says that that TaxCut has an advantage with face-to-face support in its H&R Block stores. But, in the end, both products are great if you’re confident in filing your own returns on your Mac.
