I-CAN gave me the same exact return that TaxCut did this year after using both online calculators. I have pretty simple taxes--just a W-2 and 1098-E for student loan interest and I think that was a big deal in why it was as accurate.

There is a real power in a not-for-profit, it is a shame that so many of them are mediocre (i.e. credit unions) but occasionally when you find a great one they can really stand out and offer a much better product or service than the corporations...

I am very satisfied with the result. He does a great job, and I feel a greater peace of mind that it is done right rather than fumbling through it myself.

TurboTax was easier to use, and they got different results, and I just trust the result from TurboTax a lot more, especially since it comes with a guarantee. I have no idea how ICAN did it differently than TurboTax, but I'm just not going to recommend that people use it this first year that ICAN is available. Perhaps next year it will have the kinks worked out? Ran my info through both ICAN and TurboTax’s Freedom Edition.
