Why could you not save? Click on File --> Save As don't work for you?

Never used it so this is wag'ing of course, but what I have used some of the TaxAct I'd expect to be able to switch back and forth from one view to the other.

sometime in the recent past Salmon Egg posted this:

Not really sure why you couldn't save at will. First off, I've used Taxcut for years and CTRL-S is always available for saving. Secondly, there is an auto-save function that I usually set to 2 mins. and that saves it automatically. If what you mean by 'quitting' is that you had to close the form to access the File/Save options in the top tool bar, that doesn't mean you have to quit at that point.

My gripe with them this year is that they moved form 4136 to the Business software while they still sell the Premium Home & Business software without that form. A call into Taxcut will only elicit the comment 'Taxcut P.H.&B no longer supports that form.'
