I actually plan to do 2014 taxes. The old 2013 version may be good guidance ONLY if it allows Schedule B, C, calculations. Does it?Please let me know

I have used Turbotax since the 1980's and yes, if you enter the information on your interest and dividends, etc. in Schedule B and your income and expenses in Schedule C it makes the calculations. You can then import the basic information from the previous year into the current year to help speed you through the process in doing your current tax return.

I would say yes. I haven't been able to install 2014, getting numerous fails and errors and the customer service with ancestry is awful. If 2014 can't handle a simple installation then heaven know else would go wrong. I currently use the 2012 version and have been very happy with it. There s a lot of great upgrades in 2012 that i found helpful (I had upgraded from 2008 to 2012). I'm attempting to get my money back for the 2014 and will stick with 2012.

It is best if you have it. Internet access will let you update the program. I believe you can run the program without doing this. Also, if you buy it and get the free state offer it is by download only. You have to pay if you want your state shipped by disc to you. You don't need it to submit your taxes, you can still print them out and send them in.

Well that depends...First talk to your CPA and see what he/she recommends as you will be sharing info with them and it's good to be on the same page. Second, and this is my opinion, avoid this software unless you can help it because once you use it, you will be stuck with them much the way a gambler would be to the Mafia. Depending on which features you use, you have to upgrade every 3 years or they stop working. Yeah. Also, this is a very basic skeletal accounting software and things like payroll, printing tax forms, or even attaching files to invoices ON YOUR OWN computer requires a monthly or annual subscription service which often times costs many times more than the software. Case in point, enhanced payroll costs over $300 a year on top of the software. Read the high star reviews on here. Then see why Intuit would send so many "product managers" to spin greedy marketing practices as "features". Read the positive reviews too but you'll notice many of them are suspiciously cut and pastes from the Intuit website. Also notice how many comments have been removed by amazon to censor negative reviews. That should tell you about the character of this company.

It has a blank calender so that it will work any time of the year you want it too. You just have to put in the dates and it has a date list for 2015-2016 for you to refer too.

If I understand the question properly, the answer is yes. Based on ones input for 2012 taxes, TurboTax will estimate quarterly payments to the US and state governments for the 2013 tax year, print the government forms and inform you on the dates each quarterly payment is due.

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.

I am sorry that I don't know. I have Q for investments, but didn't have it previously as I was using a very old version. Good luck!

Tax laws change, so the software must, too. I personally use an updated version so the integration to my bank and business stays current and within tax code.

As an S-Corp with only myself, I do need to run a payroll but also find the subscription costs out of line with my need. As such, I continue to use QB4.0 for the Mac - which has and continues to run payroll with no additional costs since 1997. Although the tax table service is discontinued, I do update the tables manually to maintain current tax percentages. The 940 and 941 forms are now out of date, but the information is still correct. I transfer the numbers to the new forms manually. W2's and W3's I do online with SSA. Only runs in classic though. Hasn't been a problem until OSX 10.5. Now I'm researching options. Note: I have bought all QB upgrades through current versions for both the PC and the MAC. I have reverted back to QB4 Mac however every time because the payroll options there were just great for my needs - and have been stripped from all subsequent versions of QB since regardless of platform. Too Bad!

Unlikely ... usually available 4th quarter; usually around Thanksgiving.====if your issue is notations for the "coming year' (i.e., 2015); what I do is save the 4 year calender index cards (which are always included) and use that as a xref for the new year ... make up a Envelop to retain reference documentation (with calendar) and store in a safe place ... then make 1/Dec/2014 "Get 2015 xref envelope and add these items to your day planner -- It works for me; enjoy, Best of luck

Similar product, but uses the 2013 tax forms instead of 2012. Trying to use the 2012 software to file 2013 taxes won't work as it will print out on 2012 forms and e-file as a 2012 return instead of a 2013 return.

I purchased mine this year from Staples. It has 2013 printed in the box that says OMB No. and Form 1099-Misc. If it comes without a year on it then you can probably just write 2013 in that box.

I previously had to do an amended return with Turbo Tax and since I keep all of my disc's, I did not have a problem. You may have to input all of the original data into the 2013 version and click on amended return. Good Luck

It does not. You need to purchase an annual subscription which for more than 3 people costs you around $380 a year in addition to whatever your software costs. If that's not bad enough, after 3 years you will be FORCED to upgrade your Quickbooks software in order to continue to have the privilege of paying the annual subscription which by then will likely be $500 a year. There is an all manual mode buried in the software somewhere or it used to be...but good luck finding it and if you do use it, you can't print any forms. In the old old days, before Intuit turned evil, they would offer a one time free tax table download which in many cases was good for a few years...all you had to do was tweak the federal withholdings manually. Those days are long gone.

Yes it is, but no 1099's which my wife buys separately. The Schedule C we use allows you to put in separate entries. We do not use the Q & A system.

I would recommend researching the product as I do not have Windows 8 and did not retain the box. I am getting ready to upgrade to Quicken 2014 and it is my understanding from what I have read is that both 2013 and 2014 operate on Windows 8 but as a mouse driven application and not touch screen based. Please research before doing anything as I am not an expert on the interface with 8.
