I type really really fast/accurately, and I use turbo tax hehe.. Either that or pay for the accountant.. Learning to type is cheaper : )

Use Quicken to track all your trades and you can import all your trades into Turbo Tax without retyping anything, just one click. Worked for me the past two years - I plan to use it indefinitely.

Randy, I download transactions into Quicken which then does the capital gain report matching buys/sells, determining gain/loss. That's the toughest part, without Quicken I wouldn't be able to manage. The report can't be exported into Excel, unfortunately. I just have to spend a few days doing data entry into Sch. D-1. Note that Quicken can screw up its report if you go long and short the same stock the same day. But those errors are so obvious you can't miss them. Regards, Tom
