Keeping track of my business

1930 said
I have been in contact with the SBDC in my area and have used their services every chance I can get.

Not knowing enough about quickbooks I need to ask...is there a version that is released every year that is only good for that year or can I use an older version of the software to manage my business.

Is there a recommended version that is maybe more simple to use than others ( assuming I do not have to go and buy the latest version and us it)

I would buy the latest version. It is supported and updated regularly, so you can keep current on taxes, mileage pay (that's right, any miles you put on your vehicle running for parts or whatever, is allowed).

There are so many things it will track and calculate for you, it's well worth the investment and the time to learn it.

As long as you enter everything that is transacted and allowable, you will be amazed.
