The only issue I had was that the program disc was unreadable in my computer. I simply downloaded the program from the web for free (except for my time) and used the validation codes from the package to activate it. The payroll disc reads OK but as others have said, after loading the new payroll program it won't work with an existing company without a call to Intuit customer service (ONLY during business hours) and a ridiculous amount of time on hold. (Almost an hour this year.)<br />My rating is for the seller. I use QuickBooks because I have to, not because I like it. The Intuit company writes mediocre software that works OK for accountants but is a PITA for the average business owner like me, and their customer service is particularly poor in my opinion. Regrettably there is very little competition in this market.
Rating: 5 stars
