What is difference from quicken to quickbooks

Quicken is not as complete in accounting as is quick books. Quick Books allows for multiple businesses.

QuickBooks is a business accounting software that is geared more towards businesses that are other than a "home" business. I would say if you are set up as a corporation, you would probably use QuickBooks. Quicken is geared towards personal finances and a business that is run out of your home. If you are a sole proprietor and run your business out of your home, Quicken would probably be the better way to go.

Quick books is more expensive and works on Mac and PC. Quickbooks is more for business. Quicken is more personal/family and only works on PC.

Unfortunately, I never used quickbooks, so I don't know the difference. I am just beginning to use quicken, as well.

Quicken is personal finance software, while QuickBooks (I believe) is a business accounting package that takes care of accounts payable/receivable, payroll. etc.

Quick books is an over simplified spread sheet. Where Quicken for one and business will give you a complete accounting interaction for your home and small business. You will be able to create tax documents for your tax preparer and have complete profit and loss statements. You are able to have the system write checks and figure payroll and payroll taxes. It's the only way to go when you want to do it right.

There is no difference. They both have the same keys, I use the Business one at work and I dont see any difference.

I think that is one for Quicken staff. I would think it is one or the other. Disk or download. Not sure, but disk is sometimes a little higher price than download. I choose disk because I move around to different machines and I think it would be less hassle than placing or removing the licenses on those machines.

Yes, I have no problem running QuickBooks. As a matter of fact, I run more than one version of QB for different clients. But beause I spend hours at a time making entries, I prefer to use a full size keyboard and mouse with the laptop.

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.

Sorry, I don't use Quicken. Try the kodak website for a quicken print driver.

According to Checkmark: "CheckMark Payroll handles standard business checks in top, middle, or bottom format" - as the Intuit Quickbooks format is standard business format, I would think they would work. I have only used them with Quickbooks.

I am sorry. This is the first time I've purchased Quicken, so I don't know if it is compatible with earlier versions.

I don't know. You can call Quicken and they can answer your question. I called them to ask questions before I bought it myself.

The Quicken Starter version can't read old Quicken data files. Quicken Starter version was created as a cheap and simple version of Quicken to bring new customers into the market. I had to upgrade to Quicken Deluxe to maintain access to my old Quicken 2010 edition data files.

Yes as others have said. Unfortunately quicken has a single format which means you must use one format for checks and envelopes. Others allow you to design spacing etc.

Hi Bonnie, You will be able to migrate your 2011 data to the 2014 version. As for seeing what the forms and reports look like, they will not be significantly different from the 2011 version. Intuit does not have a "trial" of the Premier software, but you could download the QuickBooks Enterprise 2014 Trial, it is important that you do not use your "live" data as once the data is converted to QB Enterprise it will not convert back to Premier. After you download the QB Enterprise Trial, when you install it choose "Non-Profit", that will give you an idea on what the reports and forms will look like in the 2014 version.

You have to buy checks specially designed for quicken. There are suppliers other than Q. Otherwise they work fine.

Quicken Bill Pay is an online bill pay service that works with Quicken personal finance software, although the software is not necessary to use the service. Quicken Bill Pay is a service from Intuit, the same company that runs PayTrust online bill pay service.

Yes. Here is the official Intuit position on this: "With a single-user license, you can install QuickBooks on 1 computer and on 1 additional portable computer (e.g., a laptop that you own and use in your business) as long as both devices are used by the same person. ONLY that specified person can access and use QuickBooks on both computers." My note: the second computer does NOT need to be a laptop or portable, but the rest of the conditions apply. Let me know if you need more info.

I have been using Quicken for about 10 years. It is generally OK, but not spectacular. If you are starting fresh and setting up new accounts, you'll probably be fine. But, the latest update from 2013 to 2014 has been very problematic for me, starting with One Step Update not working properly, and some strange entries being made all on it's own. Quicken tends to "fix" things that aren't broken. I might try Microsoft Money, or maybe some other accounting software if I was just starting out.

I just use quicken to write checks and balance my checkbook. I know there are many more features but I don't use them so I don't know the answer to your question.
