If I am operating with QB 2011 can I just buy 2014 payroll or do I need the bundle. Would rather just purchase the payroll

Yes, you can buy just the basic payroll or the enhanced payroll separately from Amazon.

Read the reviews on the 2012 vs. and I think you will see that the 2011 vs. may not have the issues that the newer vs. does. I have used QuickBooks Pro in the past, beginning in 2002 and the last year was 2008. I was very impressed with the ease of use and the ability to make corrections to posting without having to do journal entries, ie. just fix the posting. The payroll, when I was doing it came with the annual upgrade for free, so I upgraded annually. There was no limit on the number of employees, or if there was we never reached it. Our highest employee count was probably twenty. But having read the reviews for 2012 I am wondering if I want to install for my new start-up company. Maybe the 2011 for now and see what else is out there before we have employees.

I believe you can just download the software BUT if something happens to your machine and you need to reload it on a new machine before the year is out, I think you'll be required to buy another license. I prefer to actually have the disc so I have options at a later date.

Only if you want to upgrade to unlimited employees. The Enhanced will only allow you to pay up to three employees. If you process more than three you will be charged by Quickbooks per employee.

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 The 940 and 941 forms are now out of date, but the information is still correct.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!

It can be used by any business as it is a general accounting package. Be aware you are forced to upgrade every few years. There are other accounting packages available.

I have found several people online who say they are using QB Pro 2011 with Windows 8. There seem to be some problems with printing the pdf but I quickly found people who had found ways to work around the issue. Here is the workaround: I have had this issue and found that by changing the Shortcut under the Compatibility Tab, tick Run as Administrator fixed it. Also run the QuickBooks Connection Diagnostic Tool can help as it looks at ports that are not open in the firewall and opens them for you. That said, if you really want to be sure before making the investment, Laura F. Hoak is correct and your best bet is to contact Intuit customer service and they should be able to answer any and all of your questions regarding their product.

You should ask the vendor who is selling it. I do not think that 2014 is available yet? Or check with the IRS forms and publications portion of their website at IRS.gov and it should say when it is being released.

There's instructions on the box on how to download a backup copy. However, I think you're doing yourself a disservice by purchasing the old version. 2013 is designed around touch. You could also consider purchasing a subscription to Office. The Office 365 Home Premium subscription for $99/year has most of the same programs and lets you install on up to 5 devices.

The year starts with the first installation and activation of the code that comes with the software. The nice thing is you can buy these when they are discounted and use the codes when needed. When you use the code, they work for the latest version of the software.

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.

No. You can not. If you buy the 3 user version, you can have 3 people (not 4) use the QB at the same time.

the only reoccurring costs I know of are the subscriptions like PAYROLL. We also only buy the new version every 3 years, because after 3 years they stop supporting them. $499.90 yearly would be to buy the new version of the software... which you don't have to do.

At registration of your QB Payroll subscription, you will either register and subscribe to 0-3 employees or unlimited. The appropriate fee will be assigned to your subscription based on your needs.

I believe you will have to backup QB to zip drive at the office and bring the zip drive home to update QB there.

The QB Pro 3 User is a 3 user license. If you buy the one user, you will have to buy 2 additional licenses on line. FYI: The three user license is for 3 concurrent users. More computers can be networked, but only three can use at the same time.

Yes you can prepare estimates and payroll on this 2011 version. It's mostly the basics and more advance 2013 edition. Regards Tisha
