QuickBooks Pro 2009

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Personal Finance
from: Intuit

October 06, 2008
This Seller/Merchant was a new launch, set up to TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN. BEWARE of this Seller/Merchant and other NEW LAUNCHES, on this and other AUCTION SITES. Because Amazon.com gives the Seller/Merchant more than 3 weeks to respond to a sale, instead of scaling that down to 3 days like other sites command, this gives the Seller/Merchant ample time to collect the funds, access your account, take possession of your money, then close all accounts (transfering the funds to another Account/Bank) making collection efforts virtually impossible. In the end, Amazon.com has to refund the moneys, driving all transaction cost up for both Seller and Buyer. Meantime your money is tied up for more than 5 weeks. This practice is especially prevailant ... Read More:

Quicken Deluxe 2009

September 09, 2008
this is the first time i've used quicken and i think it's terrible. it picks and chooses what transactions to download from my accounts and is NOT user friendly. i consider myself pretty computer savvy and able to problem solve, but this program is confusing and does not come with an instruction manual. worst purchase i've ever made.

H&R Block TaxCut 2008 Premium Federal + State + e-file

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Personal Finance
from: H&R Block

December 01, 2008
I switched from TurboTax to TaxCut this year primarily due to Intuit's new pricing structure where they both raised the base price quite a bit and then they charge $9.95 for each additional return you want to prepare beyond the first one. Given those changes, it was time to try something else.

So far I am very pleased with TaxCut. It imported my TurboTax data from last year without any problems at all. It also will import data from Quicken, though I don't use that option.

It is a different interface and takes a little getting used to, but then TurboTax's interface changes every year also so with either product one is going to have to adjust to some new interface quirks.

Of course, it is pretty early to be ... Read More:

Quicken Home & Business 2009

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Personal Finance
from: Intuit

September 09, 2008
Quicken Home and Business 2009 is perfect for any small business. I manage properties, and this has proven to service these accounts above and beyond. It is excellent for preparation of the data that you need to prepare your tax returns, and doing on-line banking.
On-line banking without Quicken Home and Business still leaves you with a lot of work to do at the end of the year.
I have and will continue to recommend this product.
Try it, you will like it!

Quicken Premier 2009

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Personal Finance
from: Intuit

September 09, 2008
I had used Quicken until 2006 and it worked well then. Bought Premier 2009 and paid full price for it.

Installation appeared to be all right but the program kept crashing every time I used the password vault. Called quicken support multiple times and spent at least 10 hours, and finally it was I who figured out the solution. The password vault was crashing because the password for one of my credit cards was too long and it caused the program to crash. Now I cannot use the keyboard to move between transactions, whether using the tab or enter button. Spent another 5 hours with customer support and they found no solution.

There are other bugs as well. This program is not worth more than 10-20 dollars most, given the amount of heartache ... Read More:

QuickBooks Pro 2008 [OLD VERSION]

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Personal Finance
from: Intuit

October 11, 2007
I purchased QuickBooks Pro 2008 several months ago, because it is supposed to be the best out there for small businesses. I have been trying since then to get it to work -- without any success. Each time I tried an installation, something else would go wrong. I would give up in frustration, uninstall and clean my registry to remove all traces, and set it aside to try again later, only to find yet another problem the next time I attempted an install.

I am not a computer novice... I have been in tech support in the past and consider myself a pretty savvy user. I've tried to install the program on two different Vista computers (it is supposed to be 100% Vista compatible), and have received everything from .NET errors to the inability of the install to find Flash ...

Quicken Starter Edition 2009

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Personal Finance
from: Intuit

September 09, 2008
I bought the Quicken Starter Edition because I thought it was replacing the least expensive Basic Edition this year. But Intuit failed to indicate that it was disabling the ability to accept data from earlier years. For that you have to upgrade to the more expensive Deluxe Edition. So the Starter Edition is absolutely useless for a long-time Quicken user. The only thing good I can say about this is that Intuit returned my money and I did not even have to return the CD. That deserves the one star I am giving this product.

When I got started in building furniture for my customers I was doing all of my finances the in cash. Over the years I got better expose with my work I needed a better way of keeping track of my money, so I went shopping and found QuickBooks Simple Start 2007. I've been updating for the last few years, and then I updated my computer to Vista and needed software that was compatible with Vista that is when I went with QuickBooks Simple Start 2009. Not much of a change from the previous years, but I see a difference with the Vista computer.

Quicken Personal Finances 2007 for Mac

If you are updating a previous Quicken file be sure to back up your data on a CD before installing this version on your computer. It has serious bugs and can wipe out all or part of your data. Intuit is issuing update on this version online to correct the problems but it may not correct the flaws.

Quicken Rental Property Manager 2009

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Personal Finance
from: Intuit

September 09, 2008
We have just gotten in to the rental business & this software is great! It automatically gets the tax deductable items marked for tax time. It produces tax paperwork so all we have to do is print it out during tax season & if we do our taxes ourselves, it transfers the info to Turbo Tax. We also keep track of our personal accounting with this. I highly recommend Quicken Rental Property Manager for anyone who is in rental business. This software is very easy to use, as well.
