I must agree.  I have used EasyAcct since 1995 when it was a DOS based program owned by TAASC Force.  When Intuit bought them out the prices immediately went up.  I was on the phone today with a support agent who was very helpful about transferring data to the IRS system for W-2s.  But ultimately the verdict was that I couldn't transfer from EasyAcct to the IRS system unless I had bought this year's EasyAcct program.  I had purchased the IRS to prepare W-2s since you cannot in EasyAcct without renewing.  I am ultimately changing software to another which company's I have used their tax software for about 12 years now and they have introduced an accounting software - simply because of price.  

Also, I verified that you cannot upload to the IRS with their IRiS system through EasyAcct.  Only FIRE. 

Support agent was great today but couldn't resolve my dilemma.
