I have a home daycare and am looking for an easier way to keep track of my expenses for tax purposes. Would this be a good product to invest in for a small home business ??

Yes! The software allows you to categorize expenses according to the tax code, and allows you to transfer the information to Quickbooks, Quicken, Turbotax, or an Excel file. It's great!

The Neat Scanner does a great job of first scanning receipts, papers, even business cards then putting them into folders that can be labeled and called up whenever needed. I have been using the scanner to scan PDFs of oil leases and mineral deeds that were made back in the 1940's and 50's. The time the scanner saves me is super. The cost of the scanner is made up in the the quickness it takes to scan the material. I also think it is a cool design and fits anyway as it is not so big.

IT is doing it for me, and some assets can be fully depreciated. Important not to fully depreciate items that must be amortized over 27 or so years....it will also depreciate your home office assets...I find.

No, this is not a money management tool in that sense. But it does one thing well, better than Quicken or any other app: records who you owe, when it's due, and when and how much was paid, with alerts and reminders and such as needed. Frankly that's the only thing that was missing in my money management arsenal. Nothing else gives me-quickly, with no fuss-a snapshot of exactly how much needs to be paid out. A great app.

This system will work for a baby store, it's very flexible. There is a monthly fee for the software. Our most popular package is our Silver POSimplicity Software which costs $39/ month and includes functionality such as inventory management, basic reporting, numerous departments, numerous tender options, etc.

I have never used Basic; it has been the Deluxe which I have used at least 15 years. The program has changed some over the years. If you have been using a tax program or have been doing your taxes, it has a fairly good interface.

Yes, it is excellent for that. It can be used, essentially, as an electronic check register. If you use the mobile app it makes tracking your accounts extra convenient because you can enter transactions as soon as you make them.

Yes, it would work very nicely for a baby store. It's pretty easy to set up and the advanced online reporting is excellent. There is a monthly fee however compared to other POS systems we looked at it's a good deal.

You should get a lot of uses out of it. It goes a long way. It allows you to try it, and know how to use it before you make to much of a financial commitment.

Turbo Tax is really easy to ask questions of this year, just type in the help. It's 5 actually.

Yes, you can key in cost manually on the main keyboard and then enter tax/dept code with the keys on the right. Hope that helps.

Small receipts will work. If I have very small ones I just put a sheet of white paper behind it and send it through.

Actually it's a little anti-intuitive, but once you fiddle with it a little (I rarely read the directions), it turns out that it's an awesome time saver. The biggest trick is to know to scan business cards face down. The software captures about 90% of the info on the cards without errors and also gives you an image so you can correct info. I haven't scanned individual files, but it is creating a database of all the hundreds of business cards that have been cluttering my desk for years and for that alone it is worth the price.

It's worth the investment if you know you will be printing in high volumes or on a weekly basis. Also if you decide to purchase it, seriously consider refillable ink cartridges and/or high yield ink, that and the printer will pay for itself.

Not likely.... this machine is almost perfect for home use, but not that suitable for commercial use, even if its a small coffee shop. You will need a faster machine, specially when frothing milk... this machine is reliable but definitely slow for commercial use, so you might find yourself delaying the coffee orders because you would not be able to deliver them on time. Additionally, I dont think this machine would stand the this level of commercial usage for long.... maybe 1 year max. By the way, 50-100 cups a a day is not that small, I rather say its medium sized coffee shop. Go for the known and reliable brands on the market such as Rancilio, Cimbali, Gaggia, etc. They are costly but they well pay themselves in less than a year.... its a pretty straight forward business, dont go for the cheap!

I think it would be too slow for a business. It's fine for home. My mother loves it!

Sort of. I make sure to set up categories for business income and deductible expenses and make sure to categorize those expenses when I enter them throughout the year. At the end of the year I just print out a category report and I have my numbers.

No. This is just a handy timer. It is very very practical especially you're a first time parent. If you really need to keep track of everything that happen to your babies, you should opt for mobile app. There are plenty out there in iOS or Android market (not sure on Win mobile). From my personal experience, you're unlikely to be that organized when baby arrives, unless you have at least 2-3 helpers/maids in your household managing your daily life.
