Tax Planner in 2006 H & B

I have discovered after up grading from 2004 H & B that the tax planner in

2006 does not allow me to enter data manually and incorrectly states "quicken data" amounts. For example, in the "Business Income and Loss - Scedule C", "Other Allowable Expenses" field the details listed at bottom shows Actual YTD as $-865 and projected at $-473 in Quicken Data line EVEN though the Quicken YTD total as listed at end of transaction list at bottom of details shows quicken YTD of $1690.35 which is correct. I have verified that the categories have correct tax lines and the transactions do appear here in transaction list but quicken insist on using a total from who knows where. In addition, Quicken does not save any of my user entered data. If I override this field by entering a user entered amount it SEEMS to take until I either select another field or go to next page/screen at which point it returns to original value.

I assumed that there may be a problem with my data file so I did a copy of it (using Quicken) and retried. Validated copy and retried. Did a year-end-copy and retried. No go on any of them. One additional irregular behavior is that I played with importing from Turbo Tax and the application allowed me to do this from TT 2003 but NOT TT 2004 (gave does not support tax year on 2004 ... yet allowed 2003).

Anyone else having this issue? I plan on logging it as a bug at intuit but wanted to see if this effects other users/versions of quicken 06'

Thx.

Yes , i have same problem with Tax Planner not accepting and keeping manual data inputs. I close the window, then reopen it and the data has reverted to original value.

Thanks for posting this bug to Intuit.

Update:

Quicken Technical Support suggested I had datafile problems, so I ran a file Validate and then a file SuperValidate. Doing so corrected some data corruption problems and helped with some of the you described in TaxPlanner - but not all of them.

The other thing I noticed is that TaxPlanner would accept the first several user data changes after initial launching; but would revert to the problem described.

I am able to make some changes; Exit and Relaunch Quicken to do more changes. This might help as a temporary work around until Intuit fixes the underlying bug in TaxPlanner.
