Now *this* ****es me off!

http://www.wsj.com/articles/intuit-k...est-1422149606

I called the number in the article and was told I wouldn't have to upgrade to file Schedule D (after
a lot of whining and complaining). Next year may be a different story.

If anyone wants to call and bitch, the number is in the article. Might do some good.

Okay, here's a good example for you. Erikson made a smart-assed comment which deserves no reply.
Therefore, I have decided he gets the last word as far as any interchange between him and me. Who
appointed me the decision maker? I did. Simple. Now you can understand.

The price of the software is not the issue. Reducing its capabilities without advance notification
and wanting customers to pay an additional $30 to get the same capability they had last year without
any 'upgrade' is the issue.

Apparently Intuit is getting the word.

If the software doesn't do the schedule D, it is basically filling out
the short form for you.
I am sure it is not going to help you with a Sch K and that support
was bad 10 years ago when I stopped using TT

TT does a good job with Sch K now. Pretty simple. I remember helping an officer do his taxes while
in Germany. The Sch K took several hours for me to do (much of which was trying to figure out what
to do). The final result was a savings of about $11 in his taxes. Unreal.

The rest is just gathering up documents, entering numbers and some 3d
grade math.

The ironic thing is when they gave the IRS work sheets to elementary
school kids, they did better than most adults ... because they simply
followed instructions and did not try to skip anything.
I tried it with our 3d grade grand daughter and she thought the
schedule D and SS worksheets were fun. (she got the same answer as me)
I was thinking she could make some extra ice cream money this spring.

Exactly my experience.
I assume the IRS does not even look at these things if you do not have
$100k or more in the partnership.
I am hooked up with Carl Ichan now and he is making me money but when
I look at the numbers on the K-1, it is $5 here and $10 there across
about 10 forms.
This all started with a $10k flier in a partnership called American
Property Investors. For years I was getting a $1000-1500 deduction and
a check.
After 1986, not so much and it looked like I was done. I did pass up a
few chances to be bought out for an insulting amount. Then Icahn
bought it and it came alive again. I am getting a couple grand a year
now. I don't have a clue what I could sell it for. I really do not
have a clue what I would say my basis would be on that. Things like
recaptured depreciation and such might come up to bite me ... if the
IRS actually knows themselves.


My experience, above, was in the late 80's. During my first year with Wells Fargo, after doing the
Sch K, with TurboTax, I called and told them no more Sch K. I'd forego all the 'tax advantages'.
Even with TT the damn thing is a PITA.

I heard they were not going to support the schedule C on the home
owner version but not doing the D is ridiculous.
I haven't used Turbotax since I had my business but I was able to do
it on the home version.
These days I just download the forms on IDF and fill them out with
Adobe. The only thing is I have to do all of the math. (no big deal
with a $2 calculator). If they would put this in an Excel script, it
would be real easy but I bet the tax accountants and tax software
people would bitch about it.

I actually thought the whole "interview" process in TurboTax was
getting more cumbersome than simply filling out the forms anyway.


I tossed turbo tax the year after they put the anti copy stuff in to the
program and wrote in a hidden partician on the drive. Could not get turbo
tax to run the next year. And we're legally bought copies. So have used
Taxcut since then. And the next door neighbor is even the Head Hunter for
Intuit so could probably get it free.

I went to buy TT a couple weeks ago on Amazon and saw the reviews.
One or two stars. The reviews gave fair warning.
I'll still buy it because I don't use Sch D.
The walkthru isn't tedious if you skip most of it, and it picks up all
the info from my previous filing, and downloads most of the rest, and
files the forms for free.
It makes filing taxes painless for me.
If I still filed Sch D I'd pass. Not going to call and beg.
They lost a lot of customers with that "surprise" downgrade.
Walmart may get that business yet.

I always wondered why a retailer carried TT or TaxCut. They get one sell,
and then Intuit and Block directly sell to the user. I thought that was a
really scummy business practice.

I called the number in the article and was told I wouldn't
have to
upgrade to file Schedule D (after
a lot of whining and complaining). Next year may be a different
story.

If anyone wants to call and bitch, the number is in the article.
Might
do some good.



Doesn't Wal-Mart have some cheap software you could use?



He's complaining that the free or cheap version doesn't do what he
wants?

heheheheh.

Okay, here's a good example for you. Erikson made a smart-assed
comment
which deserves no reply.
Therefore, I have decided he gets the last word as far as any
interchange
between him and me. Who
appointed me the decision maker? I did. Simple. Now you can
understand.



Oh. You mean the last word from you. Now that you have qualified
it, it
makes sense.

I suppose you thought I was banning *eveyone* from responding to
Erikson?
That thought would be
illogical.

Well, that was my comment...that it would not be logical. You just
qualified your comment so now it is logical.



Boys, boys, I am not worth fighting over.



Funny, those are the exact words Mrs. Luddite used to calm down the
Sports Illustrated bathing suit models who were arguing which one of
them got to take you to the "No Tell Motel" for a wild weekend.

"Girls, he is not worth fighting over..."



That's just dumb.


Well, not if you're playing the suck up game.

I went to buy TT a couple weeks ago on Amazon and saw the reviews.
One or two stars. The reviews gave fair warning.
I'll still buy it because I don't use Sch D.
The walkthru isn't tedious if you skip most of it, and it picks up all
the info from my previous filing, and downloads most of the rest, and
files the forms for free.
It makes filing taxes painless for me.
If I still filed Sch D I'd pass. Not going to call and beg.
They lost a lot of customers with that "surprise" downgrade.
Walmart may get that business yet.


i switched to TT from Tax Cut because TC couldn't properly handle some rental property numbers.
Never thought of going back, but am now. I'll see what TT is asking for the Premier version next
year. I'm wondering if TC can automatically download all the carryover input from last year's Turbo
Tax.

But then again, $85 sure beats the hell out of many hundreds at H&R Block. If TT had announced last
year that they planned to do this, I'd not be bitching (well, maybe not as much). I can imagine how
****ed I'd be if I had spent the time getting the data into TT only to be told "YOU MUST UPGRADE".
Apparently that happened to a lot of people. Look at the difference in ratings for the 2014 Deluxe
version versus the 2013 Deluxe version.

And I don't think it was a software problem. Intuit ****ed up. But, I'll probably pay the additional
bucks next year.

Not filing is free too, eh?


There you go! Simple solution.


Depends if you get a refund. The IRS lost my return in 2000. They lose
something like 2%. Informed me the mailing receipt did not count as they
did not know what I put in the envelope. So they put my accounts on
mandatory withholding. When we got it straightened out. I had a refund
coming on the lost forms. They sent letters out removing the withholding.
A couple accounts still withheld and it pretty much covers my estimated
taxes. So I need to file to get refund. So not filing is not free. Why I
Efile all now.
