I don't remember being disgusted, although I vaguely remember there was so new mode of viewing that took up too much screen space. Or are you talking just about the initial limitation of # of returns that could be generated?

This year's edition of TaxAct Deluxe (desktop version) allows users to download: * basic data from 2008 TaxAct tax return * basic data from a PDF copy of 2008 tax return * GainsKeeper data (https://www.gainskeeper.com), and * W-2 data from TALX W-2 eXpress I only import the basic data from my previous year's TaxAct return. I haven't tried the PDF import, as it's really only useful if you don't have a TaxAct file from the previous year. That is, if you used another tax prep program last year and are switching to TaxAct. You can try TaxAct here for free: http://www.taxact.com/tax-preparation/free-tax-software.asp Regards, Margaret

It's not worth it to me to buy TT Deluxe for It's Deductible and TaxAct for the actual tax prep. ... And I don't like TT (or its price) enough to switch back. Hopefully over time, TaxAct will improve in the charitable deduction tracking area. Regards, Margaret

I suppose in the case that you use a discount broker to buy / hold NL mutual funds, the fund shares probably stay in Schwab's name and you don't have an actual account number for your holding, so can't get a logon via the TRP web site. I don't think there is any way to access TTax via the general TRP site. I imagine TRP prefers you buy direct from them rather than through a third party, so they aren't going to give you any freebees. scott s. ..

I was just hoping that you knew of some way I could get it for free anyway. -- Ken Blake Please Reply to the Newsgroup
