I got a call today from a fellow who had lost his QB 2009 Enterprise disk and needed to install the software on an additional computer.  He had it installed on 3 computers and wanted to add a seat (he owns a 5-user license).  He had misplaced his disk and wondered if he could get a copy or some connection to a download. My suggestion was to call Intuit and have his license information handy.  They could help him, Out of curiosity, I did a Google search to see if there is a convenient way to get that download link information without bothering the folks at Intuit for such a simple task....there is! You can use this link to get downloads of most current versions of your software , but you must have your license information in order to do so.  To get that, just press Ctrl and the 1 key in the top row of your keyboard at the same time. Keep this information just in case you have this issue in the future....great that Intuit makes it so easy! Got a QuickBooks ...

IR-2011-69, June 23, 2011 WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced an increase in the optional standard mileage rates for the final six months of 2011. Taxpayers may use the optional standard rates to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business and other purposes. The rate will increase to 55.5 cents a mile for all business miles driven from July 1, 2011, through Dec. 31, 2011. This is an increase of 4.5 cents from the 51 cent rate in effect for the first six months of 2011, as set forth in Revenue Procedure 2010-51. In recognition of recent gasoline price increases, the IRS made this special adjustment for the final months of 2011. The IRS normally updates the mileage rates once a year in the fall for the next calendar year. "This year's increased gas prices are having a major impact on individual Americans. The IRS is adjusting the standard mileage rates to better reflect the recent increase in ...

Income Withholding Order/Notice Income withholding is the court or administratively ordered deduction of a specified amount from a parent’s income for payment of child support. All employers must honor an income withholding order/notice for child support from any state. Out-of-state income withholding orders/notices are valid throughout the country including US Territories. All states are required to use a standardized withholding form entitled Order/Notice to Withhold Income for Child Support (OMB No. 0970-0154). A child support income withholding order/notice must be paid before all other garnishments, with one exception. The only exception is a Federal (IRS) tax levy entered prior to when the child support order was established. It is the date the child support order is established, and not the date the withholding order/notice is served on the employer, that determines precedence. The employer deducts the specified amount of child support each pay period and sends it to the:...
