I am interested in tracking my stock sales in Quicken so I can transfer them at year's end into Turbotax. Which version of Quicken is adequate for that. Do I need Quicken Premier or can Quicken Deluxe do that? Other aspects of transfer are not important.
Transfer Quicken to Turbotax

This is, actually, a TTAX question ... not Quicken. TTAX reads the Quicken data file (.QDF extension) directly.

Well..... I'd say the question has enough of a quicken angle to qualify for inclusion in this group. But that's my opinion.
I think even Quicken Basic would fit the bill.
I don't think Basic allows investment tracking. As since Dankwart mentioned Stock sales I think he will need Premier!

It can be had through eBay for less than $20.
Deluxe is sufficient.

But can ALL versions of TTAX import Q investment transactions???

Basic was always sufficient in the past. But I got a free copy of QW05 deluxe due to the change in d/l formats, and I believe ttax will only directly import from QW04 or newer. Otherwise you have to export a txf file, which in my experience is much more difficult than the direct import.

Another thing to remember is that TT can import investment info directly from many brokers. So Quicken may be unnecessary for that task.

Yes, I just did the direct import from my broker. But it only imports the sales information, as it is reported to the IRS, not the buy information. Dankwart
I don't recall (and it may depend on the broker anyway), but does it report the amount of the gain or loss?
