What kind of file does TaxCut accept? (I have never used TaxCut so I
don't know).

Quicken (at least the 2006 version I am using) can export the Cap. Gains
report in TurboTax (txf) format, plain text (txt) format, and MS Excel
(xls) format.

Perhaps TC can accept one of these formats or a bit of processing with a
global text editor can change the txt file into a space or comma
delimited file.

Typo.... I meant to write File > Import Financial Information does
not accept a TXF file?

The tech support gang said that I need to enter each transaction by
hand. If that's the best answer guess which tax program I will be
buying next year.

I have quicken 2008 and export my capital gains to a .txf file. In
Quicken 2008 - ReportsTaxCapital GainsExport Data and select "Report
to Tax Export File. This gives you the opportunity to save all your
capital transactions as a .txf ( Iassume early versions of Quicken work
the same way)

In Taxcut, select ImportQuicken and enter the file name you saved above.

I have personally done that and filed electronically on 3/13 and had my
refund credited to my checking account on 3/28 so I know it works.

If Taxcut won't let you import a .txf file using the above procedures,
than you may want to re-install the program

Nonsense: Use the "Other program..." option of TaxCut. It worked for me.
