Tax Software. QuickBooks Pro w/Enhanced Payroll 2011

Tax Software. I have used and shopped the competitors and settled on Quickbooks/Payroll this time. I have not used QuickBooks before. It's been too easy. Accounting software is the last thing I want to be concerned about. I'm happy so far.

I'll keep you posted.

Update #1 ... Day 3 - Wonderful! Transactions are loading as I write. Compared to past Peachtree & Quicken experiences, Quick2011 can't be made simpler or more intuitive. I have all 3 seats and server operating. If it took an hour to get everything running, I'd be surprised. There's a curiously intuitive network sensor/linkage algorithm in there somewhere that makes bundling multi computers a cinch. No need for an IT guy. It surely ranks highest on my list of the easiest network installs ever. The software is better than advertised IMHO.

Tax Software. QuickBooks 2011 for Mac

Tax Software. I owned Quickbooks 2007 for Mac and have used it for years. I am a registered user with Intuit. For the past few months, I got a message that I needed to register the product and that it would be good for only 30 days. This made no sense since I was a registered user and the "register online" option did not work. Finally, one day while I was working, I quit the application and tried to relaunch it. The message came up and would not launch. I called Intuit to help with the registration. I got a tech support in India who had passible English. He confirmed that the product was registered. He asked what system I was using. I was up to date with 10.6.4. He said that was the problem since Quickbooks 2007 was not being supported in 10.6, but only with 10.4 and 10.5. and would not work. I told him that it does work in 10.6 and I have been successful with it for months since upgrading to 10.6. He clarified that it would work only 15 times in 10.6 before the registration would not work. I found this to be incredible. This means that Intuit has written script to make the software not work after 15 times with the newer operating system. In some ways this seems illegal to me. It is one thing to say software is not supported with newer systems, it is another to purposefully make it not work when, in fact, it does work. I use Quickbooks basically as an accounting program and not for creating tax returns. As such, I don't need the most recent version. The tech person further stated that I had to buy the 2011 version and that it, too, would not work after 2014. Again, I'm flabbergasted. Intuit is purposefully making their software not work after a specific period of time. I am livid. I bought the newer version since I had to complete records for a number of clients but felt I was being forced to buy something I did not need due to planned obsolescence.

In general, 2011 seems identical to 2007. I don't need the newer features. I did notice that during reconciliation that often the program added incorrectly.

Has anyone else had these same problems?

Tax Software. QuickBooks Basic Payroll 2011

Tax Software. The software is good, except I had to call Quickbooks customer support to guide me through setting up payroll, employees, and tax details. Not very user friendly.

Easily pay employees in just 3 steps: create paychecks in just a few clicks; Basic Payroll automatically calculates payroll taxes; generate reports then work with your accountant on taxes (no tax forms included).
