This high-priced service does little more than fill out IRS forms.

Because TaxBrain is the priciest of all the online tax services we reviewed--charging $90 to $100 to complete one federal and state return--we expected a shebang of a product. What we got instead was a major disappointment that included a bare-bones design, no as-you-go refund ticker, and very few links to help information.

TaxBrain started out by asking us questions about our personal data, income, and tax-deductible contributions and expenses. It then listed all relevant forms and worksheets by their IRS name (W-2, Form 1099, Schedules A-D), putting checkmarks next to the ones we'd finished. Because its online forms closely replicate the actual IRS forms, TaxBrain might appeal to tax pros who just want to fill out their actual returns via the Web. The W-2 forms and Form 1099-DIC for investment income looked like the real things, making it easy for us to fill in data to the corresponding box.

However, we certainly didn't get much guidance from Tax Brain for learning the hows and whys of the tax code. And although live customer support is free, forget about calling on evenings and weekends--the most popular times to do tax returns--because phone help is available only on weekdays till 4 p.m. PST.

A "preview return" link let us look at our entire return, including all schedules. This feature was very helpful for looking for data-entry errors. If you need no tax guidance and like the look and feel of actual IRS forms, you might find TaxBrain to your liking. But for $100-plus to fill out near-replicas of federal and state forms, we expected more tax help and an easier-to-use interface.

Description:
What does it all mean? Record fundraising has continued across the private equity industry. Venture capital deal flow continues to rebound. But at the same time big deals have run in to trouble and the crisis in the broader financial markets is sending ripples from the mega deals all the way down to start-ups. Yes, the past few years have been unlike any in private equity's history. But now as the spotlight pulls away from the sector, bigger questions are being asked. Will, for instance, those large deals pay off? Will limited partners see a significant return from investing in the mega funds? How much difficulty will firms have investing their sizable funds, especially with debt more costly and limited? And perhaps more importantly how will the private equity industry look going forward? Will limited partners pull back or show a strong inclination for smaller buyout funds or venture capital or perhaps a new sector, like infrastructure? Will the U.S. private equity firms soon be overshadowed by European and Asian firms as well as Sovereign Wealth vehicles? And will the exit environment pick up to the point that the industry generates the type of returns expected from it? The 15th Annual Private Equity Analyst Conference, the industry's premiere gathering, will help shed some needed light on those queries and provide a new view as to whether the industry is headed into a new era or simply returning to a more normal environment. You'll hear from leading limited partners and general partners as they give their views on the industry broadly, what to make of the 2005-2007 period and where it is heading. You'll also hear the insight you need on fundraising and dealmaking within a range of sectors, including buyout, venture capital, mezzanine, distressed and infrastructure. Simply said, an event that cannot afford to be missed.
