1.0 out of 5 stars [$$]? Not if your doing payroll!, January 29, 2003

This product is very misleading, in order to do payroll you have to subscribe to the 'payroll tax service' from Peachtree, which costs [$$], twice the original product price. Sure, they say you can 'edit the tax tables' yourself, but this is actually entering an equation where you must know all the variable names the program uses.

2.0 out of 5 stars It takes time to learn this software!, December 31, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Peachtree First Accounting 2003 (CD-ROM)

If you dont' know anything about accouting, this is not the software for you. There are tutorials available with the software, but you must know the terminology first for it to make sense. There is a free trial of the full PeachTree Accounting available from Best Software, but be aware that if you try it out, you cannot transfer anything from the free trial to First Accounting, since they are different versions. You could spend a lot of time working with the trial and then have to do it all again if you buy First Accounting.

I am able to handle a small payroll without subscribing to the payroll service, but it did take some experimentation and time to figure out how the user-entered tax formulas worked (there are two sample companies included with the software). There are a lot of options for computing taxes -- you don't have to use complicate tables, and simple formulas are available. But it wasn't easy and I am still learning.
