Don't even know what TXF files are :-)
My taxes are pretty simple.

The big downside is that TaxAct does not accept TXF files. That
could be a significant deal if you had a lot of transactions to go
onto schedule D.

Ah, yes of course..

I'll probably download the Fed+State. I'm used to paying $20/year (mostly
to Intuit and H&RBlock for the last 3 years) for tax software.

I'm rethinking the Excel part now.

Modeling the AMT question looks like it will take days--and I'm reasonably
confident there won't be any to pay, but I'm going to hit EVERY trap that
says you have to go all the way through the course to prove it. What a
headache. Maybe I'll pay the $10 for Online TurboTax Basic. I still won't
pay them $24.95 to file the state. Here in Colorado, the state return is
pretty easy: How much did you tell the Feds you were paying tax on? Add a
few things if they apply, subtract a few things if they apply. Send in 4.63%
* the balance.

I would add I don't use Turbo Tax after the antics they pulled a few
years ago.
After that I switched to H&R Block and never looked back.

TaxAct does not accept a QFX file, so you would have to enter your
schedule D info manually.

In some states, filling out the income tax by hand is fairly easy,
once the federal return is in hand.

Don't MS Money users get some sort of price-break on TaxCut products?

I couldn't find anything in the Home page of Money 2006 ..

At this rate, I'm going to give TaxAct a try this year.

Q2: nope.

Q1: Maybe I'll have to go back to paper filing this year. From
http://irs.gov: "Taxpayers who used Free File in past filing seasons might
not qualify for the free services for the 2006 filing season. Participation
in the 2006 Free File program is limited to taxpayers with an Adjusted Gross
Income (AGI) of $50,000 or less." Considering they want to get people to
efile, this seems like severe back-sliding.

What's the URL for Quicken free efile?

Do you have to have Quicken to do this?

Excel.

I'll probably use the Quicken free efile and then put my own data in the
free state online system.

Default OT: What tax software is everyone using this year?

TurboTax is too expensive ($40 + electronic filing fees), TaxCut is $30 and
included filing fees, TaxAct is $20 for the same thing.

Do Money 2006 Deluxe owners get any special offers on Taxcut?
