Reply from Rose-A in Jan 2019: "I can definitely see how this feature would be useful. As a team with a massive roadmap, we have to pick new features based on the value they’ll add to the most users possible."
I understand the need to prioritize tasks for maximum benefit. What percentage of QBO users need to also file taxes? (Rhetorical). How SHOULD we be maximizing the benefit of QBO data at tax time?
The Tax Exchange Format (TXF) has been around since 1991 (source) and was intended for just this purpose - moving your data from one program/platform to another. Although it is dated (outdated?) there is no good replacement available and its exclusion from QBO seems like more than just an oversight.
In my case, I want QBO to export data in TXF format so I can import to H&R Block Tax software, a non-Intuit product. The data is mine, I should be able to do this using a 20 year old standard without obstruction.
The only help I am getting from QBO this tax season is helping me to consider my alternatives before next tax season. My experience with QBO support has been a nightmare (multiple other issues) so I am frustrated but not surprised by the headaches of this latest obstacle.
