I haven't. I was forced (at gunpoint) in upgrading to 2013 since my old version would no longer update my 401K information from Hewlett.

There is no limit on how many employees you can have but you will pay for all but the first one. They used to include up to 3 employees for free and now they only allow the first one for free and charge at the moment $2 per plus sales tax for your state.

A combination of taxable & non taxable sales is not hard if you set up some non taxable keys. You can set it up any way you want. The daily report breaks everything out, individually.

Sure, if you are not interested in keeping track of total miles driven it could certainly work that way. I personally keep mine plugged in to log everything and then weekly I identify the business trips in their trip log. My understanding is if audited, the IRS wants to know the reason for the trips in addition to the miles driven.

Keep a paper copy of the very important hard copies (like 7 years of tax forms & current insurance policies) ... I then shredded the older supporting documentation and insurance papers etc guilt free. I have gone back to reference them via the neat folders without any problems. Also good to have a hard-drive back-up too.

I don't do payroll. Check with QB support or Sales. They will answer your question..

I know it can handle 0-3 from personal experience, and I know the payroll features allow for MANY more than that, exactly how many more I cannot say: I only know my catering business, which has two, and my friends 'scaping biz which has 48, and we both use it with no problem. If you're looking for something that can handle thousands of employees, it may be best to look into something else? Something proprietary maybe?

Just used it because of a suggestion on one of the reviews on amazon. I was fully satisifed. Within 2 hours I had filed my federal and state forms electronically and paid much less than TurboTax or TaxCut. I itemize deductions but otherwise don't have an especially complicated tax form to file, so I'm not sure how it would work with a more complicated tax situation.

That is exactly the question I have! I want to do taxes on my own - I have a full time job and my husband is self employed...help!

I think it depends on who issues your 1099 for int div b & r. I know Morgan Stanley has said it could import information directly to H & R Block at Home.

You have to designate which one you are putting in & do them 1 denomination at a time & then yes it will give you a running total. It is a wonderful machine. Love It.

I think I am paying by the month for three employees or less. If you go over three employees the monthly fee increases. I haven't been using it very long so I'm still learning my self. Good luck to you, Bob.

Unfortunately beginning with version 2013 Sage 50 no longer has a "manual payroll module". Of course you can always enter payroll (or anything else) in the "general journal". But the manual payroll module, once you set it up, would do the calculations automatically. Sage 50 took that feature away and worse. If you don't pay a yearly maintenance fee then you are no longer able to enter new data (90 days after your fee expires it locks you into "read only mode"). It is perfectly understandable, however, since the accounting software business isn't what it used to be (due to free alternatives like "Gnucash" so all of these companies have to change their business models. Sage 50 is excellent excellent software. It's just not as inexpensive as it used to be.

You have to add the hours manually, but it is not difficult to do. If you had a large number of workers it might be cumbersome, but we only use it with one employee so it is not a problem.

No, but if you work for a large company they may have an agreement with Microsoft for huge employee discounts. If you search for Microsoft home use program you can find out whether or not your employer participates.

Data can be downloaded anytime you want. I normally download the data weekly just before payroll, to calculate absences etc
