With Quicken Deluxe 2000, you can pay your bills, transfer funds, track your stocks, and download current home and car values at the click of a mouse. Tax preparation is also possible with the already included TurboTax Deluxe, the bestselling software by the same manufacturer. The software also helps plan for major life events--like retirement, college, or a new home; while using the software, you prescribe realistic goals and track your progress toward them.

The TurboTax Deluxe application enables you to print your returns onto IRS-approved forms or to electronically file your return for a faster refund. The program interviews you step by step, reminding you of all the information you need when filing and why, ensuring you've taken proper deductions and that your report is accurate and legal. TurboTax Deluxe even double-checks your return for errors and potential audit flags, as well as offers personalized suggestions to save you money.

Quicken's Family Lawyer 2000 uses plain-English explanations and inquiries to help you draft vital legal documents, such as wills and trusts, powers of attorney, small-claims worksheets, and much more. The built-in Plain-Language Law Dictionary defines over 7,000 legal terms and phrases, guaranteeing you will understand the documents you prepare. Together with the other two Quicken Suite 2000 applications, this software protects you from and prepares you for the inevitable as well as unforeseen circumstances ahead. --Cintra Pollack
