Use Book keeping methods. See this -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-entry_bookkeeping Or best thing is to hire an accountant like I have done. But still I have to maintain a ledger. Understanding taxes is like understanding female psychology. Some naturally do it in a better way and some just fail.

Why not just pay yourselves as contractors (1099)? Or is there some law against that?

I agree that QuickBooks takes some getting used to. They definitely believe that more features is better. We did use Bank of America for a little while for payroll, but QuickBooks payroll seems to integrate a little easier. I also prefer their customer support over Bank of America’s.

But QuickBooks is just such a pain to use. Maybe I'm really bad with software, but I've paid for training from our accoutant, but I still pull my hair out each time I have to open up Quickbooks.

As for payroll, our accountant recommended us Paychex, and we haven't had any good experience with them. Looking to switch, so we'll check out QuickBooks Payroll.

Did anyone tell you about Workers Comp? For whatever reason, both our accountant and Paychex both failed to tell us about that...
