Lenovo in itself is not a poorly rated piece of equipment. It was, after all, the child of IBM. I know that my IT person respects it. See if the warranty fits your needs and if you are only using it for what you say, it should be fine.

Unfortunately, I have already renewed and committed after sitting on the fence for several months. I intend to give it my best shot. I have really never depended on the software. I always wanted to know where a number went and why. If not, why not? Right now, I feel panic and uncertainty and will try not to let it ruin the rest of the year for me. My clients need me now, more than ever, but I will not take on any new clients and will try to cut back sharply. Most of the dire agony of change over the past several years has been cited in the above posts. This, however, takes the cake. I am pretty certain that 2025 could be my last year even though I have always loved this work.

I don't judge my clients or their choices. I only recommend, advise and explain the law. They aren't going to stop gambling just because we tell them it is a bad choice. IMO

I am still filing 2021 just to get my clients up to date. The most recent ones had refunds that they will never see. What is fair about that? If they owed, they owed interest and penalties regardless of the window.

Excruciating for self=employed people then. I remember deductibles that kept climbing right along with premiums. We had to pay in order to protect what we had and never collected any benefits. I worked a part-time job just to pay for health insurance premiums and the deductible was always higher than the bill.

To me, it seems like a reversal of why partial SS income was being taxed in the first place. This appears to benefit high income taxpayers and does nothing for low income taxpayers who did not pay tax on SS income anyway.

Yes, shutting off your AV for five minutes or more might just do the trick.

I am stand alone and not networked.

In addition, both programs updated when I opened them. I did have to create a new password, therefore having to enter the installation codes. Good Luck to you.

I can't help you other than to say that I just prepared returns on both 20 and 21 Max, using the programs which were already installed on my working computer. You didn't mention which program you were using.

No, John, apparently not. I contacted them and he has to have his own IDMe. There is nothing wrong with his mind; he just never uses a computer; EVER. I can still order his meds over the phone, but the VA.gov was so convenient. Thanks for the thought. Nothing is getting easier; that's for sure.

IMO, it is a pain. You have to upload pictures of proof of your identity. I understand that the easiest way to do it is on your phone, but I really haven't gotten beyond pay.gov myself. I tried to do it in order to log into VA Health so that I could continue to order my husband's prescriptions. However, it didn't work because I am not HIM and HE does not compute. Alas.

This is why I use Quicken 10; the last year that it came on a CD. It works beautifully with all versions of Windows (including 11) so far and I never have to update. It allows me to create all the ledgers and accounts that I want and creates beautiful end of year reports that allow me to create tax returns right from the reports. No need to ever go online. It can still be found on Ebay if you want to pay the price. I can also import, export and backup accounts as I wish.

I use Quicken 10 for all of my personal bookkeeping.

I got mine on Saturday.
