This is just condoning proprietary vendor extortion to force an upgrade 
to their accounting software. For example, ff you want to import 
financials into TurboTax 200x, you also have to upgrade to Quicken 200x. 
When I started with TurboTax it would import from several years old 
Quicken software. Now only the current year is supported. For this 
reason I am considering abandoning it this year.

So the import feature in TurboTax or other proprietary tax software is 
mostly a false feature.
