according to the help in TTax06 deluxe, you can do a direct import
from Q05,06, and 07. Q04 and earlier you to use a txf file, which
in my experience is just one (small) step from entering it manually.
Same thing for QB.

Hi, Scott.

> according to the help in TTax06 deluxe, you can do a direct import

Yep! That's exactly what I read, too. So I tried it - importing into
TT2006 Basic from Q2007 Basic. Last week, it didn't work. Yesterday, it
did.

When the direct import didn't work last week, I went back into Q and
exported to the .TXF file; that imported into TT just fine.

But the direct import is much easier. I just hope it keeps working. ;<)

Hi, Jason.

Oh. Online? Why didn't you say so? That's quite different, and I know
nothing about that. Are you sure that TT Online will import from Quicken?

i've done it before, and there is a section for it in the online
software..but following the directions doesn't yield the results.
