1.0 out of 5 stars Costs more, delivers the same., March 18, 2009

The other reviewer said it correct, "QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll allows you to pay for features you could careless about. However you need not worry as Intuit will slowy remove features until you are forced into a new product line."

Yes, intuit software generally works the same way - you get used to it, then they remove features unless you "upgrade", soon those upgrades are required each year and cost more. Try another accounting package, you will appreciate it next year when it's time to buy next years required upgrades.

Unlike some other reviews which seem to come right from Intuit marketing I'm a real user. So I'm here today because the Basic Payroll only does tax tables. Gone are W-2, W-3, 940, and 941. I like how Intuit tells you to go see your accountant to fill out these forms (QB Basic Payroll). Kind of thought that's what QB function in life was, to reduce the need for an accountant. Kind of late for me to jump to a new program however Jan 1 of 2010 I'll no longer be dealing with this spiral cost increases and the pay more for less progression built into the Intuit product line. I'm not so old nor stupid to learn a new software package. Oh right the product review part.

QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll allows you to pay for features you could careless about. However you need not worry as Intuit will slowy remove features until you are forced into a new product line.

1.0 out of 5 stars Shame on Intuit, July 26, 2010

Dee - See all my reviews

This review is from: QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll Unlimited Employees 2009 (CD-ROM)

I don't often write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my intense dislike for Intuit's business model of constantly removing features and charging you more. The "subscription" to payroll costs more than the software. They have stripped even basic functionality - filling out your tax forms - from the 1-3 employee version, which is unconscionable. I've been using quickbooks since it's inception, not only do I not feel valued as a customer, but I also feel trapped.

To make matters worse, I had a subscription that ended at the end of the quarter, my taxes forms are due the next month, they will not even print the forms for the period I was covered.

If this could be rated with a negative number, I would do so.

PS it does what it says it will do for +/- 300/year!
violating the consumer - priceless!
