Well, I just got off the phone with a Quicken engineer
(after being on hold long enough to play 9 Freecell games).
They have confirmed that ESPP information does not download
into turbotax from quicken.

Their solution: enter it manually. :-(

I'm in a similar boat. I contacted the TurboTax folks and
ther answer was "It should work" and then pointed the finger
at the Quicken side of the house. No other information
given at all. Nothing like products that work together.
:-(

There's not a whole lot of help information that I could
find, but I believe that you need to make sure that the ESPP
shares are of type "ESPP" in quicken.

If you entered the transactions as "ESPP shares
bought/sold", then it should have enough information to
transfer properly. However, I haven't gotten it to work yet.
It keeps loading into the regular schedule D capital gains
section.

Sorry I don't have a solution.

Default ESPP Sale

My wife sold some of her ESPP in 2003. As I understand it, I
need to enter each stock lot into TurboTax to compute
whether or not it's qualifying or disqualifying based on the
grant date (two years) and purchase date (one year). We
definitely have some capital loss on these transactions, but
there are ~200 of them since she started contributing. Do I
need to log each one indivdually, or is there an easier way?
It doesn't appear I can import that information as I did my
schedule D for regular stocks.

Any on line links would be helpful.
