Tax laws change, so the software must, too. I personally use an updated version so the integration to my bank and business stays current and within tax code.

One must upgrade to the unlimited employees package; there's only two options with QBs - up to three employees, or unlimited (and the latter is only available with the online edition, period!). It's about a $100 more if I recall correctly, which quite honestly, is difficult to do with all the disturbing and extremely costly add-ons, fees, upgrades, additions, support, services, etc., which QBs perpetually assesses for the seemingly minor details and pompous efforts they provide to assist their patrons with their product. Apparently, this process is quite intentionally designed to limit service, comprehensive accessibility and ease of use to the consumer, while incurring greater costs as he/she becomes aware of the "bait and hook." And rather exorbitantly at that. Tread with caution. You will likely pay in excess of $600/yr to utilize this program effectively. Everything with QBs, which I believe ought to be simply included with the program, comes at an additional, and very unwelcome fee. Trust me. Look into the other free, online programs which provide a very similar service, without all the hype, unnecessary control and expensive fees for your small business. Essentially, QBs has got me very tightly wrapped around their little greedy fingers. The software itself is alright, but they design (and are constantly redesigning) it to be much more complicated than warranted in an obvious attempt to offer you support at a significant drain to your small business resources. If you're loaded, go for it. If not, I highly recommend you look elsewhere.

I upgraded from version 9 to this one and it worked however the upgrade to away features I had with 9 like customers adding gratuity on their credit card receipts. When contacting customer service I was told it is no longer part of the basic program and that I would need to upgrade to another program to get that feature back. So I would just be sure the upgrade will enhance not take away from what you are using.

As an S-Corp with only myself, I do need to run a payroll but also find the subscription costs out of line with my need. As such, I continue to use QB4.0 for the Mac - which has and continues to run payroll with no additional costs since 1997. Although the tax table service is discontinued, I do update the tables manually to maintain current tax percentages. The 940 and 941 forms are now out of date, but the information is still correct. I transfer the numbers to the new forms manually. W2's and W3's I do online with SSA. Only runs in classic though. Hasn't been a problem until OSX 10.5. Now I'm researching options. Note: I have bought all QB upgrades through current versions for both the PC and the MAC. I have reverted back to QB4 Mac however every time because the payroll options there were just great for my needs - and have been stripped from all subsequent versions of QB since regardless of platform. Too Bad!

Yes, but you will have to download the update from the website so it will work.

For me it was a great improvement since I upgraded from 2009. I especially like the fact that my information is only one file now. I did the Amazon download. Hope this helps.

I have been using it for years, and this release has more issues than any other release I have used. I am on Win 7 Ultimate, 4gb ram, high speed Hard drive, so it loads well, I have learned to work around the issues for now, hoping the bugs will be taken care of. Main issue I have is with split transactions, seems to have an issue with updating them, always goes to the next one down on the register, haven't taken time to talk to quicken, other than that, works well

Are you looking for basic, pro, or multi-store version? Also, QB POS v11 is not as bad as some describe. We have a free trial available if you prefer to test it.

Good afternoon Brad, QB POS v10.0 Free, is not eligible for up grade pricing. You would need to purchase a new user license. Peter Customer Relations Manager

I am away from my home computer right now so I can't tell you exactly which version, BUT when I went to install it, it gave me a few worries and so I called customer support and they did their magic and took my numbers and then downloaded the current/best version for running on on an iMac/OS 10.8.2. They were helpful and polite and after the download all went smoothly and I moved ahead. I think you could download the free trial version and then when you decide it works for you, then just purchase it directly from IGG. Hope this is helpful. I am not a heavy iBank user, but have been pleased with my limited use.

I don't have windows 8 running on my office computers. But that is a good question to ask, as soon as I can I will download that, and give it a try. I am curious about that as well, and if I am going to have a problem with my payroll software as well.

The Pro 2011 version is not compatible. I upgraded to 8.1 with the new Office and it will not sync. ACT will also not support it. You will have to fork over another $300. The new version of ACT doesn't get any better, they just keep coming out with new versions so you have to spend more money ever couple years and you are stuck with it. After much discussion and complaints with ACT I have dumped it in favor of another contact management program. I'll never touch an ACT product again.

Hi Chancey: The only advice I can give you is that my old PC was dying, and I waited until I got my new one before downloading the updated Quicken. I was afraid if I loaded it to my old PC, it would totally crash. So that's what I would advise, but I'm definitely not an expert.

As is the case with most software, the version changes annually so last years edition won't be viable for this year (SUCKS!) Every copy I've purchased, both disc and download, was licensed for one computer only. A hidden subroutine key identifies your computer with the a specific copy of the software so if you attempt to install it on multiple machines, when it goes for updates, you'll be flagged for running without a license. I have, however, processed up to four return files for different individuals, then printed the returns out.

Not successfully, I am in the process of doing this over the last few days... I bought QB 2011, installed in on a Windows 7 64 bit PC, that was ok. Then the the 'fun' began, tried for 3 hours myself to get my QB 2005 company data file (either the .QQB version or the .QWB) to work, each time it crashed QB 2011. Then spent 3 plus hours on the phone with tier one and two QB tech support with them getting the same problems after trying just about everything! Now they "think" the fix is that the 2005 files needs to go to their 'File Fix' expert team, this will take about 5 business days. Please note my QB 2005 and the 2005 file work perfectly fine in my QB 2005 software. Now I am waiting for 5 more days.... I can only hope this resolves the problem. I'm NOT a happy QuickBooks customers right now! Good Luck, i think you will need it....

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.
