#Intuit proseries software

[kalianos]

It is a little past midnight. Have brainworms.

god I remember when windows 8 came out, immediately bought and installed it to troubleshoot Intuit Pro-Series. I was a chaotic force for good in some weird ways back then. Also Ironically working for Intuit was the first time I stopped hanging out in online spaces. ANYWAY!

Higher level techs were spreading the word that neither program would work on it. ProSeries and Lacerte (Corpo Tax Software) weren't built to handle Mobile Tablets. Day 1 of tax season that year and I had to walk a tax preparer installing pro-series on a windows tablet.

The Higher tech was confused as hell how I did it....apparently they couldn't understand how windows would just interpret the finger touch press as a mouse click. Now to right click, that was moon magic to me back then. Though I think they just wanted a mobile way to make tax sheets and input data then just slam it over to their desktop in the office/at home. You would be amazed how many people had this tax preparer software on their home computers. Hell I remember someone who had this expensive stuff and bought it every year just to do their own taxes and some of their friends.

Also obligatory, fuck Intuit. Never use Turbotax or H&R block to file what can be done for free. I gave away so much free stuff when I was in Turbotax even though I knew they were doing it on purpose to bait people to stay in their ecosystem before they "shut down" our ability to give out stuff for free. You can only word things in so many ways to avoid getting nabbed by the monitor police.

:V Call centers man, we had a department in one corner of this open office floor plan dedicated to monitoring us, recording our calls, and making notes on anything we did.

Randomly remembered this when someone was bringing up how Windows 11 wasn't the worst Windows OS and people were jumping on how Windows 8 was terrible and windows vista doesn't work on low powered systems. (Hey! Let's ship an OS that works best at minimum 2gb of ram! On systems that barely had 512mb! Because that was listed minimum spec. What Could Go Wrong?)

Double fun irony. That call center job was how I ended up making friends, learning more social skills, accidentally stealing someone else's girlfriend by being more outgoing and out there. Discovering the joy of dating someone who used to be a runway model and artist in new york who was more than a little obsessed with sucking dick. Older women man...definitely confirmed.

The downsides of having said person be your girlfriend when you are an immature little shit of a man and there was a good....seven year gap I think in our ages? Then again she was on Instagram constantly after me with a new guy on her shoulder every month after that...so minor gold star for being the longest relationship?

AAaaaaaaaaand figuring out the age old problem of "YOU SHOULD NEVER ROOM WITH SOMEONE YOU WERE FRIENDS WITH IN HIGH SCHOOL" due to the whole....situation that made my last year of freedom a descent into hell and depression that took almost a year and a half to escape. You know like, you friend is leaving the military...that he asked you to join up with him in....and you get dumped out leading to two year depression spiral where you took a call center job out of desperation to do SOMETHING with your life before you wasted away into a worthless pile of shit.

ONLY for him to show back up, joining the National Guard, and after apartment hunting for less than a week shooting down all your suggestions and saying we need to get this luxury 2 bedroom apartment that just opened up in this brand new apartment complex which..pricey, and doesn't include utilities. :D WHAT COULD GO WRONG!? Hey turns out....food costs money.

Walking in from work one day planning on changing to go out with friends to a bar only to walk into a big fat shirtless old guy sitting on your couch. Having to shoo said friends away from the door from the master bedroom. Only to find out hours later that it was your roomate/bestfriends dad who was now...crashing on your couch for a while?

Also not paying the bills. Getting a GI Bill to go to a mildly scammy tech school to learn HVAC and then...not...doing that....and basically flat out not getting a job. I can not stress how pissed off and stressed out I was for an entire year straight. My natural light brown/blonde streak in my hair got a few white hairs in it from that experience.

Though I am not going to lie it was a wonderful experience. KNOWING that yet again...as I was paying for half the rent, the electric, the internet, I THINK there was a gas bill as well? $100 easy a month on electric in 2012 was kinda hell for my area but oh well. KNOWING that he came to me saying he couldn't pay the water bill. So I needed to cover it. And me pulling a Luane from King of the Hill moment. I paid my fair share, I can live without water for a bit. (I was already having to drive to my parents house every week to do laundry sooooo....yeah we didn't have a washer and dryer for most of the year.)

THE HILARIOUS THRILL OF JOY I FELT WHEN I LEARNED ON MY DAY OFF AS MY ROOMMATE COMES IN HALF COVERED IN SOAP FROM HIS SHOWER TO TELL ME THE WATER WAS SHUT OFF! AHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Schadenfreude. Justified.

The amount of times I had to cover all the bills and the Rent...sometimes completely in a 12 month lease was hellish.

So hellish I somehow managed my money to not go into debt back then. Instead I almost to the Penny Zero'd out myself. Including renting the Uhaul to transport my stuff back into my parents house.

OH and him running to the office to grab the deposit money and just leaving with it to buy an engagement ring. That also sucked. Not like I didn't know where a lot of the money was dissapearing to. When you hear stories from friends about him going to a certain fake Australian restaurant and tipping the waitress personally over $100....in 2012. And constantly making us go back to that restaurant to specifically get her and tip her more money.

.....ah memories. Oh yeah and I got invited to a threesome around that time. Probably should have said yes since I knew them but oh well.

And to think I wondered when I was half my age if I would even survive up today. All the things I would have missed out on experiencing. Never was suicidal. Just genuine curiosity in some morbid fashion if I would someone how just be able to live as my crazy stunted self.

....We own a mower now. We have to fix a few more things on it and the tires definitely need to be replaced but it mows better. And now my girlfriend doesn't need to drive her parent's mower down the highway just so we can cut the lawn. It was worth it for piece of mind.

A handful of people I went to school with have apparently tried to reach out to me a few times. At least one of them died a month after doing so. Never opened that message to find out what they said and that was about a decade ago now. We didn't interact much but I am pretty sure he just thought I was annoying dumbass. Wonder if I should completely erase that.

Think I'll title this brainworms or something. I kinda just let my fingers typed whatever came to mind. This was fun.

:V May you not be bored to death if for some reason you read this. I should add a cut not to take up space. Yis yis.

Hi, i used to work for intuit, as a trainer for their proseries and lacerte programs and seasonal trainer for TurboTax

If you would like more reasons to hate them i can provide them

Remember those free free free commercials

If you see that, know, that there will be a class action lawsuit filed against them

You can get it free, but its not straightforward its designed to make you pay for it, but not until your return goes through

They ran the numbers and it's cheaper to scam people then give out a settlement of of a few million dollars to those who catch it and lose customers over it to hr block instead of just...you know not scamming them.

Their lacerte and proseries products are also very old software that just hasn't had meaningful competition in the market in decades.

They're wildly unstable, and unsafe

When they moved them to cloud based versions me and some other people on staff were repeatedly able to compromise peoples data in closed tests, to show them it was not ready for release. Stuff like renaming other people on the servers files, open and save as to files owned by completing tax firms etc

They still released the product with a disclaimer instead

Theyre a shit company

We deserve to live in a society where companies like Intuit cease to exist

Why Free Trials Are a Great Business Move [5 Examples of Free Trials Done Right]

If you’re selling products or services online, find out how to use Free Trials to boost sign ups and turn potential customers into recurring revenue.

Everyone loves free stuff.

In fact, a study by Duke professor Dan Ariely found that when consumers are presented with a free Hershey’s Kiss and a dramatically reduced Lindt truffle (13¢), they get an emotional charge and choose the free Hershey’s. They perceived the Hershey’s kiss as more valuable, even though the Lindt truffle was a better deal.

There are many ways businesses can offer something for free to lure in potential customers: buy one get one free deals, free giveaways, free memberships, and free trials, among many others. Today, we’re going to focus on the art of offering a free trial.

From SaaS to eCommerce sites, there are many reasons why free trials are a great move. Below, we’ll go over why you should consider offering a free trial of your product or service to customers, along with five examples of free trials done right. Keep reading to learn more about how to effectively offer a free trial, or use the provided links to skip to a section of your choosing.

What is a Free Trial?

A free trial is exactly what it sounds like—a trial of your product or service that you offer to consumers for free, so they can learn more about what you’re offering without making a financial commitment. Free trials can take one of two forms: limited-capability or for a limited amount of time.

A limited-capability free trial is where you offer a “basic,” “demo,” or “beginner” version of your product. For example, if you’re offering a free trial of your software, only include basic functions and features. This will hopefully encourage users to upgrade to the full package. For a limited-time free trial, you restrict the time of your trial, such as two weeks or thirty days. You often see limited-time free trials with gyms, where customers can test out a gym for a week or two before signing up to become a member.

However, you need to be careful when offering free trials, especially if you’re a small business. This is because offering free trials costs a lot of money in marketing expenses. As you create a free trial plan, think about how long you can afford to offer the free trial, what functionalities you’re going to provide that will allow customers to determine whether your product or service will work for them, and so forth.

Why Offer a Free Trial?

There are many reasons why businesses should offer free trials to convert leads into customers. As Dan Ariely proved, people love free stuff, which means if you offer a free trial, visitors to your website are sure to bite the bait. Take Marsh Supermarkets, a grocery store, for example. They conducted a study where they offered free samples of their Signature line products, such as deli meats and coffee, and saw a 600 percent to 2000 percent increase in sales.

Giving people and businesses an opportunity to try before they buy will allow them to experience your product or service without the fear of buyer’s remorse. As the seller, you get the opportunity to show off your product and convince consumers that they need what you have. For both B2B businesses and B2C businesses, you’ll be able to boost your conversion rate dramatically, as shown in the chart above.

Pros of Free Trials

As with everything in life, there are advantages and disadvantages. The same holds true for offering free trials. As a business owner, it’s important you weigh the pros and cons to determine if free trials will hurt or grow your business. First, we’ll take a look at the benefits of free trials. Check them out below:

Promotions, deals, and coupons: Once a free trailer has completed their trial, you can offer them incentives, such as coupons and exclusive deals, that will entice them to purchase the full product.

Feedback: Ask free trialers for feedback—even if they don’t end up purchasing your product or service, their feedback can help you improve what you offer and gain insights on its effectiveness.

Competitive edge: Offering a free trial will give you an edge over your competitors. When you offer a free trial, you’ll be able to show how great your product is, which may encourage customers to refer your product to their friends, family, coworkers, and other people in their social circle.

Cons of Free Trials

There are many pros to offering free trials. It’s an opportunity for customers to invest time and interact with your product before the trial is over, and experience what it has to offer. However, this doesn’t mean it doesn’t come with its drawbacks. Below are some disadvantages of free trials:

Money and time: While your free trial is free for customers, it’s not free for you. Offering a free trial has monetary costs, such as money spent creating the product. Additionally, it will cost time, such as the preparation for designing the free trial and devising a marketing campaign to promote it.

Taken advantage of: When you offer a free trial, there are going to be people who take advantage of your product or service, which will cost you even more money and time. For example, someone may make multiple emails and usernames just to get an extra free trial, and competitors may even sign up to gain insight into your services.

No conversion: The goal of offering a free trial is to convert leads into customers. However, not everyone who tries your free trial will sign up for the full package. Or, someone may sign up for your free trial and never take the time to even try it, which is also a loss.

5 Examples of Free Trials Done Right

Now that you know what free trials are and the advantages and disadvantages of each, let’s take a look at some companies who know how to do them right.

1. Netflix

Netflix is one of the most popular streaming services around. They paved the way for other streaming services, such as Hulu, Disney+, and HBO GO. However, Netflix charges a monthly fee for users, either $8.99 for their Basic Plan, $12.99 for their Standard Plan, and $15.99 for their Premium Plan.

For those afraid of commitment, Netflix offers a free trial, and you can choose any of the three plans and stream their movies and TV shows for 30 days. If you’re not satisfied, you can cancel at any point without being charged. But, if you need more time to binge-watch your favorite shows, you can leave your plan as is, and you’ll be charged after the trial period is over.

2. Intuit

Intuit is a financial software company that sells a variety of software, including accounting, tax preparation, and accounting software for individuals, small businesses, and accountants. You may be familiar with their services—they’re the maker of TurboTax, QuickBooks, Mint, and ProConnect. They, too, offer free trials on most of their software.

Take Intuit ProConnect ProSeries, for example. You can try a full working version of ProSeries for free. All you have to do is create an account, and you’ll have access to every feature to help your customers. You can use ProSeries with ease, utilizing missing client information tool makes it easy to quickly find input fields that are missing client information, the K-1 data import tool that makes it extremely quick and easy to transfer data to individual returns, and much more.

3. Spotify

For all you music listeners out there, you’ll be pleased to find that Spotify offers a free version of their music platform. With Spotify’s free plan, you’ll be able to discover new music, browse playlists, and share your favorite tunes with friends. The caveat is that you can only play and listen to your music, playlists, and podcast when it’s in Shuffle Play mode, which requires an internet connection. You’ll also be interrupted with ads here and there, but if you plan on only listening to music at home, you can enjoy the free version for as long as you’d like.

Spotify Premium gives you access to all the songs in their database, and you can listen to them when you don’t have an internet connection and are using mobile data. You won’t be interrupted by ads, and your music will have the highest quality.

4. Instacart

Instacart is a same-day grocery delivery service that will do your grocery shopping for you for a small delivery fee. However, new users can enjoy a free two-week period where the delivery fee is waived, Or, if you sign up for the Express membership, you can enjoy unlimited free deliveries as long as your order is over $35.

5. ClassPass

Going to the same gym multiple times a week can be boring. ClassPass changes this by giving you credits to attend gyms and fitness classes throughout your area. You can even take video and live workouts from top-rated studios straight from the app if you want to work out at home. With ClassPass, you can choose one of three plans. The $9 plan gives you 4 credits to book up to 1 class a month, the $39 plan gives you 21 credits to book up to 5 classes a month, and the $59 plan gives you 33 credits to book up to 9 classes a month. You can then use your credits to go to any gym or studio in your area that works with ClassPass.

If you’re new, ClassPass offers a free 14-day trial where you can try up to 9 different classes, and you can cancel at any point during this period if you don’t want to commit or are not ready to pay. This is great if you want to attend a cycling class one day, HIIT training class on the weekend, and a yoga class on a Sunday morning.

Wrapping Up

Free trials are a great way to bring exposure to your products and services, and convert leads into customers. There are many advantages of free trials, such as the ability to convince consumers they need your product, as well as disadvantages, such as monetary costs that can be expensive. However, many businesses across a wide range of industries use free trials as a powerful marketing tool to grow their business, and you could too!

ProSeries is a popular tax preparation software developed by Intuit, known for its comprehensive features and user-friendly interface.

Scalability:

Adaptable Resources: Cloud hosting allows for easy scaling of resources, such as storage and computing power. As your practice grows or experiences seasonal fluctuations, you can adjust your hosting plan to meet your changing needs without significant downtime or hardware investments.

Cost-Effectiveness:

Reduced IT Costs: Hosting ProSeries eliminates the need to maintain expensive hardware and IT infrastructure in-house. This can lead to significant cost savings, particularly for smaller firms.

What Should Every Entrepreneur Know About Taxes?

Whether you’re developing a new app, designing a helpful product or opening a new restaurant, taxes are eventually part of the financial equation for entrepreneurs. With tax season in full swing, the time for reporting expenses and claiming important deductions is now and how new business owners handle their reporting can make a big difference in terms of their bank and accounts and their success down the road.

Ensuring taxes are filed accurately while maximizing savings is a big job for new business owners. Entrepreneurs are likely to have their hands full with a variety of priorities from one moment to the next, so it’s important that they’re aware of ways they can successfully tackle their taxes with some money left to spare at the end of the season.

From hiring to business development, there are so many responsibilities that entrepreneurs have to keep in mind that taking on the project of taxes might seem daunting. With a better look at what options are out there and tips on where to save, new business owners can make the most of their earnings for the year while saving time on reporting. Any ambitious entrepreneur or prospective business owners, read on to learn more about how to set your business up for success during tax season!

Where Can Entrepreneurs Save On Taxes?

Depending on their business structures and enterprises, entrepreneurs could be taxed differently and will probably have the opportunity to apply for different tax write-offs. Today, there is a range of helpful options that can simplify filing taxes while empowering business owners to maintain enough cash flow to keep their business viable. Professional help and new technology can make the process much more efficient while knowing how to structure your business and its investment programs based on tax regulations might help you identify places where you can save money when filing.

Expenses that can be written off on your tax return are things such as employee salaries, employee gifts, company events that benefit the business in general (trade shows, conferences, educational events). It is important to keep track of such expenses, especially if they’re accumulated expenses.

PRO TIP — Make sure to include office supplies expenses, utilities, auto cost, and other travel expenses in your write-offs if applicable. Deductible expenses are usually those that are used to help keep running your business.  

Subsidies

Other aspects of filing taxes are the same for all American citizens, whether they own and operate a business or not, but subsidies will be very different. Different government agencies work to create incentives through tax savings for small and large businesses, often with a focus on start-ups or newly developed companies, so business owners should look for subsidies they qualify for.

Entrepreneurs can find more information on relevant government subsidies on federal websites and can also keep an eye out for new tax-break programs for small businesses. New owners will want to take advantage of every subsidy afforded to them in order to maximize financial gains for the year. It’s likely that after you launch a new business venture, you’ll have to submit both professional and personal income, and you’ll receive a refund at the end of the year with everyone else.

Depending on your business, you may qualify for federal or state subsidies to help finance your business and it doesn’t hurt to keep tabs on the U.S. government’s Economic Development Administration to see what type of grants you may qualify for.

PRO TIP — Small Business Development Centers can be a good first step when looking to get a better handle on your business’s finances. They are located in cities all around the nation and can help provide resources for reporting.

Remote CEOs

Business owners that are operating their business out of their homes might qualify for certain tax deductions, and while many people might not think to claim their home office during taxes, taking a second look might be a lucrative way for entrepreneurs to save where they can. If your whole team is working remotely, it may help to know that you may pay taxes based on the different locations of your employees and be subject to particular regulations in those areas.

Employers will likely need to communicate and notify tax authorities in the state where their employees reside to pay taxes through that state. If your team is working from different countries, figuring out taxes becomes considerably more complicated.

PRO TIP — Many companies working with specialists in other countries often hire them on as contractors or freelancers so that those workers can simply pay taxes based on their location.

When to Seek Professional Help?

While many entrepreneurs tend to take a self-sufficient approach to most of their business endeavors, filing taxes can be quite an arduous and time-consuming task, especially for those that are unfamiliar with the filing process. Small mistakes can be costly in terms of money and the time it takes to correct the mishap down the road, so it’s imperative for entrepreneurs and business owners with little time to spare to take careful steps to ensure accuracy when recording tax information.

It might be worth the investment for business owners to seek outside help to handle their taxes because there’s a good chance the price of working with a professional will be less costly than filing incorrect expense information.

This can be even more difficult for entrepreneurs and business owners with a lot of reporting information to manage during tax season. It might make sense for entrepreneurs with heavy workloads to seek outside help for their taxes so they can rest easy knowing their reporting will be accurate and an experienced professional will leave no stone unturned when it comes to claiming relevant deductions.

You might not be ready to look at more drastic measures such as relocating your business to somewhere with different tax laws, so when considering more modest efforts that can make a real impact, seeking professional assistance might be a new owner’s best bet.

Tools that Empower Accuracy and Efficiency

With extremely large amounts of reporting data that can significantly impact a business’s taxes, it’s very important for entrepreneurs and business owners to ensure they and their CPAs are using the most reliable and comprehensive accounting tools available. The IRS stated that more than 21 percent of paper tax filings have errors, while less than one percent of online filings have any mistakes.

Some of these tools provide automated features that not only save time but also decrease the chance of human error. Tax and accounting software provides hundreds and even thousands of error-checking diagnostics that simply indicate mistakes and help prevent inaccuracies when filing taxes for businesses.

Automated technology and new software are changing the way that all data is filed and reported, and tax information is no different. Oversight when it comes to spotting deductions and inaccurate reporting can become a real problem for a business owner’s chance to save. Features such as error-correction and automated data import can help ensure correct filing, and some business owners might benefit from connecting with tax professionals who have experience with these tools.

Another digital tool that might help when reporting taxes is some type of automated data-based that regularly collects and stores important financial information from your company’s activities. There are a variety of apps and platforms that track spending and income. By creating an automated system for storing company data from the start of their companies, entrepreneurs can ensure they have all the information they need for reporting in one place and can make the whole filing process more efficient.

Business Loans and Taxes

Depending on the type of business loan an entrepreneur obtains to jump-start their business, they may qualify to claim deductions related to these loans. By financing a loan, business owners can sometimes claim their loans as deductibles and might benefit from knowing that these loans are not viewed as earnings.

When applying for a small business loan, lenders will typically ask how long you have been in business. The longer you have been in business, the better. This shows the lender that your business has been successful, which increases your chances of getting the loan approved. Typically, lenders require you to have been in business for at least two years before being able to qualify.

PRO TIP — If a business loan is refinanced or your debt is forgiven by the lender, the amount forgiven will then be considered income that you should report on your tax return. 

Founder of Source Capital Funding and finance expert, Sacha Ferrandi claims “With any loan, you need to be able to show lenders you have a good financial credit history, both personally and for your business. This will show lenders whether you are responsible for your finances and if you will be able to pay back the loan. The higher your credit score, the better, as it gives you more loan options and heightens your chance of getting approved.” Failing to pay taxes may eventually ding your credit score.

Depending on your business income, and your industry, you will be required to prepare taxes for your business on an annual or quarterly basis. Ideally, you will be able to deduct the interest paid on your business loan since it is not the amount that you initially borrowed. The amount that you are repaying is not considered a business expense.

As the borrower, you will receive a specific form according to the business loan you were approved for, which will be stating the total amount of the interest paid throughout the year. All this information is heavily important to your accountants or tax preparer, which is why you need to be highly organized when running a business. A piece of information lost when it comes to filing taxes can harm your business and can cause issues with the IRS.

IRA Accounts and 401(k) Plans

If entrepreneurs are able to reach a point where they’re looking at offering their employees retirement investment programs such as 401(k) plans, they’ll want to know about all the potential benefits as well as how their tax filing might be impacted. The government does implement some measures to encourage 401(k) programs, and knowing how to claim expenses and deductions while looking at possible savings might help owners decide whether it makes financial sense to offer these types of investment options to employees.

Business owners might even see their tax payment reduced after implementing a 401k program thanks to government tax credits with some money back for the cost of implementing the program into your company. One important note is companies that provide matching benefits will not be taxed on that money and neither will their employees, but the money employees contribute will be. Another benefit is that businesses can also claim this as a part of their deductions for company expenses when filing taxes.

It’s also helpful for entrepreneurs to know what investment options become available to them if they initiate a 401(k) program.

PRO TIP — Business owners in early stages of their ventures can take advantage of retirement investment programs such as those offered to every individual, like a Roth IRA as well as their company’s 401(k) at the same time maximizing their investment options.

Final Thoughts

Taxes play a powerful role in our economy and can make a strong impact on whether new business owners decide to take a chance and launch their new businesses. While everyone pays taxes, the way business owners file taxes for their companies varies and can make a big difference when it comes to savings and growth for their venture, so it’s imperative that entrepreneurs consider how to report income accurately, efficiently and reasonably.

However entrepreneurs decide to approach their taxes, they should be well-informed through thorough research and be aware of how their unique situation should inform their tax plan. Once a business owner has a solid understanding of how different aspects of their business change their taxes, they can seize opportunities to save and can also rest assured that help is available when they are unsure about the process.

In the end, a detailed look at how taxes affect your new business can be the difference between overpaying, major savings and long-term growth.
