We use QuickBooks to run 3 separate businesses. When it comes to tax time we hand a CD to our accountant and she takes it from there. If you don't have an accountant then you are selling yourself VERY short. I would first find an accountant you feel comfortable with and listen to him/her for what software package you should select. Picking the software first may be putting the cart before the horse. I switched accountants 2 years ago and she showed me legal tax savings my old accountant ignored because he was lazy. Just my 2 cents..... Jerry **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance. (http://money.aol.com/tax?NCID=aolprf00030000000001)
