    LOL, my sister-in-law is a teachers assistance. Every single year she gets back more money than she put into taxes. I guess this is the benefit of having two kids without a father in the picture. Why should she get my tax dollars if she did not pay them in?

  12. Re:And what alternative do you have? on Intuit Disables Features in Quicken To Force Upgrades · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's not so much that Quicken 2004 and earlier versions will stop working its that the current versions will stop working.
    From my credit Union www.coastalfcu.org
    Dear Users of Quicken,

    Intuit has announced that its Quicken version 2005 will no longer support the .QIF file import capability. Today, you can download your Coastal transactions from COLTS or the e-Statements site in a .QIF file and import that file into Quicken 2004 and earlier versions. In the future, Coastal will continue to make .QIF transaction downloads available via COLTS and e-Statements. These download files will continue to work with Quicken 2004 and earlier versions as they have in the past. At this point, we have no plans to discontinue this support. If you choose to upgrade to or purchase Quicken 2005, you will lose the ability to import your Coastal transactions. Coastal has chosen not to support the real-time .OFX interface required for Quicken 2005 as Intuit now charges each financial institution a yearly licensing, setup and maintenance fee to achieve the same functionality available in all previous versions of their software. However instead of assessing a fee based on the number of actual Quicken users here at Coastal, they require a fee based upon our asset size and TOTAL number of members. As a not-for-profit organization, we are not willing to submit to such an unfair pricing structure. We appreciate and value your business with Coastal and will notify you if this situation changes.
