You are absolutely right on that once. I have checked prices on other programs with other companies and there is not much difference in price. Some of the other preparers  who  prepare corporate and partnership state and federal income tax returns with intuit have rates like the one I am complaining about look like play money. Since I dont do that many corporate and partnershjip returns I find turbo tax meets y needs just fine. I just haite running into this this close to retirement.
