Ok - so here's what I did. Since the program stalls right before the Capital Gains, Stocks., etc., section, I started the whole thing over without importing financial records from brokers etc.. When I got to that section, I used the menu bar at the top to move past that section entirely and went to the next section. I entered all of the required information from that point on, using the step-by-step as usual only as if I had no financial records to add. AFTER I finished entering everything else, I went back and imported the necessary financial documents WITHOUT using the step-by-step. After I got myself off the floor (after 10 times reinstalling, uninstalling, starting over, etc etc... and then after importing the necessary financial documents which made the numbers change dramatically... LOL) I went to the review section and checked my return for errors, correcting anything that came up as a possible error from there. Then I did my state return (uneventful). I am assuming it's all correct. However, when I tried to print a PDF to review and for my records it said I needed to print 1,780 pages. What?!?! Um, no.... So, I just printed my return as it would be to send in and that's that. I am thinking though, that I will redo my taxes in HR Block or some other tax reporting software, just to check that all of the numbers are the same before I will send it in. This is what worked for me (as far as I can tell...) - Good luck! p.s. One thing the rep I spoke to advised me of (before all of this stuff I did as a work-around) is that the program can not handle more than 2000 Capital Gain/brokerage/stock entries. I didn't have that many so it was finally determined that the software is likely flawed. She emailed me a fresh, directly downloadable copy - still glitched in the same spot.
