I purchase turbo tax biz each year for $99.00. It is super easy to use. I am doing taxes this week too.

I'm a TaxCut Girl. I've had them done for a week or so but the IRS isn't ready. If you want to claim a deduction for college tuition the forms won't be ready for a couple more days. Grrr.

I try to keep the receipts in a file, just as back up, but I put everything into accounting software, MS Money for home and QuickBooks for business. Then at tax time I just pull it all in and I'm done. Makes doing the taxes a breeze, 1 hour at the most.

How much does the MS Money (home) & Quick Books (business) software packages cost?

Deda · Jan 27, 2009

I really don't know - I've had MS Money for so long, I always just get the upgrade. The Quickbooks was around $500, but I got when I owned a Skateboard Shop, so for this business it was free!

Your tax prep fees are tax deductible (for individuals anyway, not sure about businesses, but I would imagine the same holds true).

Try TAXACT. I'm a CPA, and that's what I use. It's also VERY cheap, but so easy to use and it's really good. It's less then $20.00....For Real. There's even a FREE version.
