I'm conisdering getting TurboTax but had some questions that don't seem to be answered elsewhere.

I don't want to make my tax and financial data available to Turbo Tax or have it stored on their servers, so I am looking to get the Downloadable software option (likely premier, given my financial situation). I don't really care about e-filing, I'm happy to print completed forms and mail them. Now my questions:

 

1. If I purchase and download the software (currently offered for $99), how much will I have to pay to get forms and updates next year when/if the tax codes change? Will I have to outright purchase the software again next year for another $99, or whatever the cost will be then?

 

2. The website mentions fees to file state tax returns. Is that for electronic filing, paper filing or both?

 

3. I see that Turbo Tax interacts with Quick Books (both Intuit products) but does it interact with any other financial management programs (I'm using Microsoft Money).

 

Thanks,
