Fairly good, but lacking financial tracking

Worst program and support ever encountered !
I purchased this program and have had nothing but problems from the start. It installs, loads and opens fine but thats where it ends. The program is dead slow in operation. Changing the format of a Resume can take up to three minutes to happen. Just opening the dialog button to make a change, any change is drastically slow. You are much better off using word. After e-mailing their Technical Support staff I can see why the product does not work. They are all totally ignorant of their own product and how to fix any problems. You would have better luck clicking your heels together and "wishing" it were fixed. The company policy states a full refund from the manufacturer if not completely satisfied, FORGET IT. Upon asking for a refund after many attempts to get help, I was told that they would only exchange the product for another. What a Crock. I have since purchased another product that works just fine. It is Nova's Win Way Resume and it is just great. If you need a Resume software program go with them and stay away, far away from anything that Individual Software produces, they are a rip off.

Stick with Word. This product is a loser!
This program is an exercise in frustration. Once you get past installation problems and run time errors, there is not much to be rewarded with. The format is awkward and difficult to understand. After spending the time to make the resume look just as you'd like it, you find that it will only look that way if you print it from ResumeMaker. Forget about sending it by email. Nobody out there has ResumeMaker to open your file with and converting the resume to a common file type mangles the look you spent so much time to create. Despite the informative content, this program lacks a lot. The Resume Caster and Job Finder take too much time for the poor results they produce and there is a lack of example resumes for common professions. For the quality you get, this program should be shareware. Anything over $10 for this product is too much. And it's a good thing Individual Software's tech support is toll-free because their knowledge and service leave much to be desired.

Better than nothing but not by much.
The program does not allow you to easily reuse previously entered data. Most of the time I would like to reuse the entered data for different resume types. But the program does not allow you to choose to use previoulsy entered data and makes you enter it again each time. So you must enter your employment history over and over.

Better than nothing but not by much.
The program asks for the same information over and over. Each time you change the resume format it ask for you employment history and education. This information is usually the same. The program should give you the option of reuse of previously entered information. Other users also mentioned a version 7.3. Yet when I called customer support and asked where to get the upgrade they either had no idea or said the program would automatically update during registration. Well the program does not self upgrade and the current 7.0 version hasproblems. ... Read more

Very helpful
This software helped me get a job much easier than I thought it would be. The best feature is that you can automatically send your resume to lots of employers, and - surprisingly - they get back to you, as this doesn't go through the "spam channels" that annoy them. I have since allowed several of my friends to use it and they all got new jobs very easily. I give it a big PLUS!

WASTE OF MONEY
From the annoying "merlin" character who "guides" you, to the cluttered layout this is a miserable piece of software.It appears to have been thrown together at the last minute.There is no polish whatsoever.

Bland Resume Styles
I'm very disappointed with the choice of resume styles.

Outstanding
Based on the implementation of Windows XP, this resume maker is perfect for the system.In addition, the data were compliant with all system requirement and created perfect winning resumes. ... Read more

Staff Files 3.0
I am the HR Manager for a company with 50 employees. After having documentation in many different locations, I decided to look to see if any companies made HR software. I was looking for software that would be very easy to use, was not time consuming to learn, and had many features that we need at our company. Staff Files was the software I purchased.

Some of the features I love: 1. Auto Accruals for keeping track of vacation or sick time. Yes, it will automatically calculate sick/vacation time and does the work for me! 2. Ability to display my employees picture and important documents - resume, I-9, time off request forms, etc. 3. It will also remind me of work anniversaries or when someone needs to update certification. 4. Track wage information, when pay increases/decreases have been made, current wage information. 5. Variety of reports available from general employee to staff reports. I can also create additional reports through MS Access. 6. The flexibility to define categories, notes, departments & locations to meet our company's needs. 7. Sort/Filter function so I can get the reports I need with the right group of staff.

This program is as thorough as it gets. Staff Files has made my job and life so much easier. At the click of the mouse, I can have all of the employee info I need instead of rustling through mounds of paperwork. If you are looking for HR software, this is the one to purchase. It is inexpensive, keeps employee information in 1 easy to find location, easy to use, and saves time.

Staff Files has been a great investment for our company and would recommend it to anyone! ... Read more

Worth it!
The $100 investment in worth it! We've had to pay our tax preparer over $800 to calculate our taxes this year. We keep good records and decided to find out how close we would come to his calculations by doing it ourselves with Turbotax Business. Let's just say that next year we'll be doing our taxes ourselves.

A sink hole of time and worse than useless
This program proposes to assist you with filing corporate (including "S" corp) taxes.

It deserves a rating of minus 10 stars.

It is hardly more than a fill-in-the-blank set of continuous forms.It assumes you are fully familiar with the entire multi-thousand page Federal Tax Code and offers no real on-screen assistance.In a word, it is a (...) waste of time, a vast black hole of time wasteage.

Besides, it demands a fearfully long registration process just to refuse the incredibly stupid junk e-mail that Intuit will smother you in if you do not turn off its relentless marketing junk.

For all of this, you should pay $100?Not next year.

streets ahead of the competition
This year I had the unenviable experience of buying both sets of software: Tax Cut Home & Business, which failed me utterly; and TurboTax Business, which worked just fine.

Tax Cut worked fine for my 1040, and with some difficulties it also worked for a 1041 trust return. But it simply could not file a corporate tax return, 1120-A. The software was buggy, it wouldn't print a sample return, and a week before the deadline it still hadn't updated the forms. Worst of all, an attempt to update had corrupted the file. (See the agonized comments on the Tax Cut Home & Business page.)

So I ordered TurboTax Business and paid for express delivery. It worked just fine, though of course I had to enter everything anew because the Tax Cut file was corrupted.

In the future, I will stick with TurboTax Business, and add a cheapo version of the personal tax software, which is available and cheapest. (I prefer to deal directly with the forms, without interference from an "interview.") But I will never again try to save a buck with Tax Cut Home & Business.

What's all the fuss???
I am not a CPA, nor am I a tax expert.However, I simply read the instructions, followed the recommendations, referred to my prior year 1120S for some minor guidance, and all seems to have gone just fine.The tax return went in the mail yesterday!

Maybe I'm blessed with a simple business model or lack some of the complications and complexities compared to the other reviewers but I really cannot complain about this product.I have had frustrating experiences with Intuit in the past but not this time.

My final comment is this: if the $100 I spent on this software helps me to permanently avoid the annual $2,000 payment to my CPA for tax preparation, then I'll gladly buy Turbo Tax Business year after year.The $1,900 difference will go to a Hawaiian vacation!Mahalo, Intuit!

Your killing me!
In my opinion, I'm sorry to say, TurboTax Business is about as useless as you can get.During the last three years I've used it and the same deficiencies continue with more being added "every day".

The most disturbing deficiency is when errors are found during the review.First of all these errors are simple reconciliations of two lines in the return.The software performs the math and numbers are entered through worksheets.However, when the review finds a reconciliation error, all the software says is something like "line 6 on form x is not equal to line 9 on form y".When you search for help, all it says is "line 6 on form x must equal to line 9 on form y", and that's all.To resolve the problem I've had to read the appropriate pubs, instructions, and forms myself.

Also, the itemization of the deduction isn't much better than paper and pencil. To use the software you need to know more than the software.

Great, thanks for nothing! ... Read more
