Reviewed on 2008-01-19 Beware of mandatory updates ! I bought this program thinking it would save a lot of time. Yes, it does once you've manually set up your state & local withholdings. But be prepared to shell out money each year to keep it operational even though the manual says the updates aren't mandatory. THIS IS FALSE ! The real problem I have with the product is that you need to buy a mandatory update each year ($125) in order to access the W2 forms for the current year. For example, I bought this in 2007 and ran my company payroll through it. Now that I want to print W2 forms for 2007 I HAVE TO BUY THE 2008 UPDATE - This is BS !! (bait and switch marketing). So your real cost will be $165 PLUS $125 update just to use it in the current year. Of course these subtlties don't surface until after the 60 day customer support period is over at which point Checkmark will be glad to charge you for this information. I'm giving it here for free !

Reviewed on 2007-07-26 Basic For my 4 person practice its more than adequate. Support is a little shabby but the human you eventually speak to could not be nicer. Fax in the registration right away to get the 60-day free support.

Reviewed on 2007-05-20 Does the job but : Found this more difficult to use than the simple Quicken payroll I used on my PC. Switched to Checkmark b/c Quicken does not work on Mac. I preferred the print outs more in Quickpay. I found some of the data I put in as for example : hours rates were changed in the calculations and I had to go back and correct them manually. Admittedly, some of this may be due to my inexperience.

Reviewed on 2007-02-05 Very Narrow in Scope I need to be able to generate 1099 forms as well as W-2, but this program assumes that you never have to deal with contractors. For crying out loud, would it really be that difficult to include a template? And of course, the competing manufacturers' business software will allow you to print 1099 forms--unless you have a Mac, like I do.

Reviewed on 2006-12-01 BUYER BEWARE! I have no idea how good this product is because when it arrived, the cd-rom was missing. Amazon is always good about dealing with such issues, but they've run out of stock on this item. There is another review here with a similar "missing" software issue. I'm a little freaked out about what to do next. The Amazon cardboard box was intact, it's the retail box that had the issue. This means Amazon has a problem at their warehouse, or the theft must be taking place at the software maker's warehouse and Amazon is neglectful about checking the seal. Either case, this is a really lame situation. I'd suggest walking into a brick and mortar store. Buy the software in your hand, sealed box, etc.
