Mimi,
Thank you so much for your interest in our software. We have answered your questions below and trust me, there are no catches 🙂 We believe in inexpensive alternatives to business software, plain and simple!
Are there regular updates for tax tables? When you purchase version 2017, you will receive all updates for all forms within that tax year at no cost. This includes taxes and forms. You may look for updates at any time by clicking on the help button at the top menu.
Is the price $89/year most likely what it is every year? The cost is 89.00 per calendar year. We release it each December when the IRS has updated the tax tables. We will release the W2, W3, 940 and 941 as they come up to date by the IRS at no cost to current customers.
The only other cost for the software would be your blank checks and your W2 and W3 forms.
Please let us know how we may assist you further!
