I am looking for a package that will keep track of my checking and savings accounts, as well as my investments in stocks, mutual funds, etc. I'm not looking for a program to give me investment advice, but one that knows how to calculate return on investments, etc. Ideally, the program should be able to help me fill out my tax returns. Recently, I've been filling out the 1040 long form with several additional schedules as well as paying estimated tax, so the ability to fill out a 1040-EZ is not sufficient. As far as I can find out, there are several packages that might do the job. They are: Dollars & Sense, MacinTax, MacMoney, MarketPro (might be too {much,specialized}), and Quicken(?). Are there any others that I should consider? What do people think of the above programs? Any thoughts, experiences and/or recomendations would be appreciated. --marc
