What is the difference between QuickBooks Premier Contractor 2014, 2013, 2010? Is there new features or is one just as good as the other.

The only thing I know for sure is that if you want to use the payroll add-on service, you have to have one of the three most recent versions, currently 2015, 2014, or 2013. I had 2011 and I was forced to upgrade to 2014 to continue using payroll. It's a little better organized than 2011, but they perform pretty much the same if you don't need the extra services.

I upgraded to 9.8.2. I did not notice any major differences. I have been using smart suite for over 15 years. I find Word Pro is much more user friend than MS Word. I would like IBM to update it so It would match up the new material in MS Word. they don't seem tp respond to my requests.

I upgraded from 2012 and only purchased it because it was on sale for 50% off. Otherwise I would have waited. As for any differences, the only thing I have found so far is the Quicken Cloud and the mobile app.

The only difference is like you said. It's newer. They all provide the amount of online time as displayed. You should have no problems what so ever.

Quicken is personal finance software, while QuickBooks (I believe) is a business accounting package that takes care of accounts payable/receivable, payroll. etc.

Not sure who "they" are, but you get genuine QuickBooks and whatever support is advertised with the particular package you may purchase. I have both QuickBooks 2012 (single), and QuickBooks 2013, 3 user.

I don't use the emailing capabilities. I'm sure it is good. Quickbooks is a great program. I have used it for almost 20 years. There have been many upgrades but this last upgrade is so different and I don't like it.

I have been using Quicken for about 10 years. It is generally OK, but not spectacular. If you are starting fresh and setting up new accounts, you'll probably be fine. But, the latest update from 2013 to 2014 has been very problematic for me, starting with One Step Update not working properly, and some strange entries being made all on it's own. Quicken tends to "fix" things that aren't broken. I might try Microsoft Money, or maybe some other accounting software if I was just starting out.

Quicken is not as complete in accounting as is quick books. Quick Books allows for multiple businesses.

Edit: I have realized that this review links to different products entries so I will say to look for the product with specific year information indicated or with close enough graphics to see it.===========Nope! They COULD have been generic and reusable forms but TOPS prints the year on them in giant letters to encourage folks to buy new ones each year so you're best off looking for ones that say the most recent year. I have checked and was told that the IRS doesn't care about the big year imprint so one can supposedly reuse them (I am not authoritative on this, just what I heard), but some contractors may ask why it says a different year on it in big numbers.

QuickBooks is a business accounting software that is geared more towards businesses that are other than a "home" business. I would say if you are set up as a corporation, you would probably use QuickBooks. Quicken is geared towards personal finances and a business that is run out of your home. If you are a sole proprietor and run your business out of your home, Quicken would probably be the better way to go.

Hi Debbie, Yes, as long as you are comfortable with the reduced functions. Your 2010 QB Pro will be able to open your 2008 QB company file. I recommend you make a backup before the migration which is a standard precaution when doing any changes to company file or upgrades. I hope that helps!

I'm not sure. We use it in Filemaker Pro. We don't have quickbooks for me to check.

10164 is a newer version. There appears to be a slight color difference. *shrug* I bought the one that was cheaper and it does the job.

It came out in 2013. I don't think there is a difference with 2013 and 2014 model.

I'm not aware of a separate QB Accountants 2013 version for Vista. Just Windows or Mac. I'm not aware of a limit on how many times you can reload as long as its for yourself as a user. Its not supposed to be reloaded for other users though without a license. We received a call once about why a copy was registered multiple times and once we explained why everything was fine after that.

Oliver, QB 2004 Pro is set to "sunset" May 31, 2007 per the Quickbooks website http://www.quickbooks.com/support/policy/sunset.html I rcvd a paper mailing from Intuit today hawking the upgrade. They did include a $20 off coupon good at several retailers, including amazon. I don't think that is much of a break for upgrading. I'm using QB Pro 2005 and I guess I'll be waiting till May 31, 2008 to upgrade :-) ...Ken
