Tax Software. Quicken Legal Business Pro 2011

Tax Software. I don't know if I would necessarily start a corporation with 250 employees with this software, but for most people, this software library will go a long way towards officially documenting their life's little legal affairs. Everything from buying a car to starting a small business, to even buying your own home (without an agent) can be accomplished with this software.

For those of you doing any of the above mentioned activities, this set should be perfect (for banks and IRS). For those looking to deal in large sums of money or complicated affairs - you are already talking to a lawyer anyway ... for those of us looking for a nice set of everyday legal forms and for those staring a business - this is a great and indispensable software set to get to up and running (looking very professional I might add).


Tax Software. Quicken Starter Edition 2011

Tax Software. For many years I have been a Microsoft Money user and have been extremely happy with it, but now since they are becoming obsolete, I had to make a change. New to Quicken, it was very easy to move all my files over. No problem whatsoever. I do banking with several different banks and several different accounts in each one, but have not had any problem connecting with them. At first I thought that it wouldn't send my bill payments out and was going to return the program to Amazon and upgrade from the Starter edition, however, I found that the software worked just fine in doing that job for me. So, it really does all that I need it to do for me. Do have a small problem with my regular checking acct in that one entry is missing and I can't find it yet so the online balance and my balance are a few dollars off. If worse comes to worse, I'll just make an adjustment somewhere to straighten it out so I won't get myself all in a tither over it..... Oh, I also have tried Mint.com, which is free and pretty good, but this Quicken is better for me.


Tax Software. Quicken Rental Property Manager 2011

Tax Software. I bought this based upon the positive reviews from the beta testers for this version of Quicken. Yes, it's a bit faster and yes, quite a few bugs have been fixed (the reporting interface in particular is much more stable now). With that, it took me only a few minutes to encounter a bug and significant features remain lacking. For example, Mint.com has zero integration. Literally, none. So lets see, you turned off my Quicken.com because you bought Mint.com but Mint.com has no interface within the product. Bummer for me as a customer...

I suspect as with many other pieces of software, Quicken is running on a very old code base and it continues to show. A few features or performance enhancements continue to be added each year, but nothing very big and generally nothing worth anywhere near the cost of upgrading. I was hoping for a lot more from this upgrade. I got better stability and a handful of new features.


Tax Software. Quicken Home & Business 2011

Tax Software. This purchase was a huge disappointment. The software is new and there were only nine reviews, but they were all extremely positive, so I felt confident taking the plunge. I was so excited in fact, that I paid a premium to download rather than wait for UPS. In retrospect, I should have paid more attention to the eerie similarity between the reviews, and in fact they were all from beta testers (shills?) perhaps working off the same talking points. The new version was supposed to run faster and work with twice the number of financial institutions. But this is not what I experienced. I was fairly content with Home and Business 2008. The only reason I downloaded 2011 is because I want to access certain accounts that 2008 cannot, such as my 401K with ADP, my kids 529's with New York State, and a savings/loan account with Sallie Mae. Turns out none of these accounts are accessible with 2011! It was a complete waste and it actually runs slower than 2008. Don't be snookered like me, save your money.


Tax Software. Quicken Deluxe 2011

Tax Software. I have been a loyal user of Quicken since 1994 and upgraded whenever each new version was released. This is the first time that I have returned the product. One of the features that I use every day is the Cash Flow center in the Planning tab. This has been removed. It is completely incomprehensible to me why they would remove this feature. At a glance, it completely encapsulated my cash flow for the month, both graphically and numerically. Their new "Projected Balances" feature is completely inferior. When I checked out the Quicken forums to find out where it had been hidden, my worst fears were confirmed about its removal. There was discussion about Quicken attempting to simply the product, but I don't understand why they have to remove features for the savvy user. My fear is that this feature is gone for good and I will be stuck with Quicken 2010 until they no longer support it!
