The most important advantage of the contractor edition is that it supports the concept of estimates and invoices. You can create an estimate to give to a client, then update the estimate, and QB will track the line-items added. Then eventually when the job is done, you can make an invoice from the estimate. Not just useful for contractors, but also useful for auto repair or any business that is required to produce estimates before an invoice.

Extra $100 for 4+ employees. I just called. It's a bit of a hassle if you already have a payroll subscription, like I do. First you have to cxl your current subscription, then install the payroll disc and then call and they charge you the full whack ($429) for enhanced payroll, then credit back the value they assign to the enhanced payroll of 3 or fewer employees ($329). SO, if you get the enhanced payroll for less than $329 off the shelf (i.e. Costco or Amazon), then you decide if it's worth the hassle. From everything I've read, the 2013 QB Pro is not something to be super excited about, and may even boggle your brain due to poorer visual interface, new report menu format, etc. I'm thinking about getting the Value pack and if I can do the payroll only, and without simultaneously upgrading the QB Pro, then that's what I'll do for now.

QB Accountant is usually more than most people need, unless you have several companies that you are working with. QuickBooks Pro is usually all people need if your company is small and you aren't a bookkeeper or accountant with several clients/companies that you are doing the bookkeeping for. Support lasts forever, but right from the get-go it's virtually no support unless you have a couple hours to try to get a hold of someone that can help you. Usually google searching for the answer is quicker and more helpful, which speaks poorly of QB support. I wouldn't purchase it until you need it, though, unless you have a reason to do so.

If you need any of the new features they've added for 2015, that would be a reason. http://quickbooks.intuit.com/pro/compare/ Also, since they tend to retire support for a version after 5 years or so, you will most likely be able to get updates from Intuit for a longer period with the new version. That's an issue if you need payroll updates.

No. It figures the overall total if you keep the correct information entered but it does not even attempt a report that you can file with the state. 99% of the time it even gets the totals wrong and you have to fix the Quickbooks accounts by editing the liability payable account after you figure it manually. I returned to basic payroll because Enhanced does nothing for the State of Alabama and only prints 2 extra forms for the federal government. These forms are available for free on the IRS website.

I have found several people online who say they are using QB Pro 2011 with Windows 8. There seem to be some problems with printing the pdf but I quickly found people who had found ways to work around the issue. Here is the workaround: I have had this issue and found that by changing the Shortcut under the Compatibility Tab, tick Run as Administrator fixed it. Also run the QuickBooks Connection Diagnostic Tool can help as it looks at ports that are not open in the firewall and opens them for you. That said, if you really want to be sure before making the investment, Laura F. Hoak is correct and your best bet is to contact Intuit customer service and they should be able to answer any and all of your questions regarding their product.

Unfortunately, you'll have to buy both because Intuit won't support QB 2011 by this May & your payroll service expires this summer. I hate the way Intuit makes money like that - they set up in a way that you'll have to buy their software every several years.

Quickbooks Pro 2012 2011 can certainly look at 2009..what hogwash! If your accountant told you that, then get rid of them. They certainly are not that familiar with QuickBooks. In the Denver metro area at least, almost all small businesses use some form of QuickBooks. It is the best software for small businesses.

The ones I purchased were compatible with QBooks; however, when I ordered these forms in December 2014, I received 1099s for 2013! Amazon gave a credit to my account. I didn't re-order but used the free ones from the IRS instead since I only had a few to do anyway.

If the format is the same as QuickBooks yes, but I would check the size first as I do not use Quicken

I'm not aware of a separate QB Accountants 2013 version for Vista. Just Windows or Mac. I'm not aware of a limit on how many times you can reload as long as its for yourself as a user. Its not supposed to be reloaded for other users though without a license. We received a call once about why a copy was registered multiple times and once we explained why everything was fine after that.

Quicken is personal finance software, while QuickBooks (I believe) is a business accounting package that takes care of accounts payable/receivable, payroll. etc.

I'm not sure. We use it in Filemaker Pro. We don't have quickbooks for me to check.

Yes, you have to buy Quickbooks Pro in order to run the payroll and it only covers 1 employee. They used to cover 5 then dropped the count to 3 and this year its only 1 employee. To add more employees it costs per employee every month. That's not the only problem, they take your credit card info and charge it to renew the service without your permission. As many have pointed out its not an easy job to get a straight answer out of them even if you get hold of anyone. They all are good at false promises. Only if they trained their employees that well to help the consumer instead!

Hi Debbie, Yes, as long as you are comfortable with the reduced functions. Your 2010 QB Pro will be able to open your 2008 QB company file. I recommend you make a backup before the migration which is a standard precaution when doing any changes to company file or upgrades. I hope that helps!

I wouldn't. I wish we had stated with quickbooks. The customer service at sage is really bad and they charge over $1,200 per year as a service contract.
