Yes $15,000 for Lacerte... unlimited individual, unlimited CA returns, unlimited S corporations, pay per return for C corporations, partnerships, etc.

Yes it is a lot of money and for that amount of money you expect the product to work. I actually used to work at Intuit in early 2000s and at that time this kind of thing would not have happened. The Quality Assurance people would have caught it and sent it back to the programmers. It is obvious in many ways this is not the way it works around there anymore.
