Quickbooks for Mac or Windows?

I need to run quickbooks for a new company I am a partner in. My question is...should I just run quickbooks for mac or should I install XP and run quickbooks for windows? I am looking for ease of use but I have heard all the good support and instruction guides cater to the windows versions and the mac version is lagging by about 5 years of innovation. Opinions?
Thanks
Tom

  • Transfer files from QuickBooks for Mac to TurboTax in Windows 2000

    How can it be done to transfer QuickBooks for Mac data into TurboTax on a Windows 2000 PC? Is there any kind of utility program or file converter?
    I already know there is NO BUILT-IN SUPPORT in QuickBooks or TurboTax for import/export if the two programs are not on the same computer. Also, Intuit does not have any kind of utility or converter to pass files between Mac and Windows.
    Also, I spoke to an Apple technical support person who said that Boot Camp will not support Windows 2000.
    Does anyone have any bright ideas on how to get the data out of QB into TT?

    You should really consider posting your question on the QuickBooks community forums, as if anyone has any experience doing it, you'll find them there.

    You need to contact Intuit, from this page: http://quickbooksonline.intuit.com/questions-answers.jsp
    There's a link there for converting data from Peachtree to Quickbooks, which requires you to contact them; clicking on that Contact Us link for that FAQ item takes you to another page where you select which product you have, so they can address your needs.

  • I want to use QuickBooks for my very snmall bussinesso the recommendation from my accountant was QuickBooks (Windows). I just do not understand enough to decide whether to buy QuickBooks for Apple or Windows and use it in the Parallels world?

    I want to use QuickBooks for my very small bussiness, the recommendation from my accountant was QuickBooks (Windows). I just do not understand enough to decide whether to buy QuickBooks for Apple or Windows and use it in the Parallels world?

    QuickBooks for Mac has been available again since at least 2004 (Intuit before that had done nothing with it for years). The current version is QB for Mac 2014. It's pretty much the same price no matter where you look.
    The Mac version data is not directly compatible with the Windows version. Sending your data out to your business tax accountant and getting it back in is not at all easy. It's such a pain, our accountant comes here to finalize the books at year end.
    There is still also a lot of Windows features for QB Pro which have never been added to the Mac version. They're all on the higher end side that larger businesses would need. I've never run into anything with the Mac version I couldn't do.
    If your accountant wants ease of data transfer, then you'd be better off purchasing Snow Leopard Server and run that in Parallels. Then run the Windows version of QB in that.

  • Quickbooks for Mac

    Has anyone used Quickbooks for Mac?
    I currently use Quicken Home and Business via Parallels running Windows XP.
    Does Quickbooks for Mac have all the features that the Windows version does?  Does it function as well as it does on Windows?  I realize the Intuit website will have many of these answers - but getting information from users is far more informative!
    Can you transfer data from your Windows version of Quicken to Quickbooks for Mac?

    "Is it easy to convert my old Windows Quickbook files over to the Mac version?"
    Here is a link to a web page that explains what quickbooks files can be converted to what other versions.
    http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/search.aspx?kbid=1000640
    As for converting back and forth, I wouldn't recommend it. Here is what the Quickbooks people say about it: "When converting a company file between Microsoft Windows and Macintosh versions of QuickBooks, some data is not converted or adversely affected. This is due to differences in features, report filters and database structure."
    I am a committed Mac User but if you have an intel based mac and you intend to share financial data with Windows users, it would be best to purchase Parallels or VMWare so that you can use Windows Quickbooks software on the Mac. In my experience, the performance is very good.

  • How to install "turbotaxdeluxe2010"for mac or window on linux?

    I bought "turbotaxddeluxe2010" for Mac or Windows by mistake and would like to insstall it in"ubuntu"(linux}. Is it possible?
    turbotax2020 website said it could be done if it is downloaded online from mozilla fire fox

    Download MS Office for Mac 2011 from Microsoft, use it for 30 days, and if you like it purchase a product key. Alternately you can buy a disc with the activation code from Amazon, MacMall, or a number of other online retailers (generally for $30-50 less than what Microsoft charges).

  • I have a Samsung Chromebook; which do I download -- for Mac or Windows?

    I have a Samsung Chromebook; which do I download -- for Mac or Windows?

    From what I have read, you can use neither of those option.  Google Chrome OS is a completely different animal and you would need to check on the chrome website for apps that are available for use with it.
