This month, our main article is a review of one of the "Ten Awesome Add-Ons" solutions we will be presenting at our "QuickBooks Consultant's Conference" being held November 3-5, 2004 in Boca Raton, FL. SalesTax-Pro is one of the many solutions we will cover at the biggest QuickBooks event of the year. Intuit Product Managers will also be at the conference to present QuickBooks version 2005.

SalesTax-Pro enables you to prepare your California sales tax return automatically from QuickBooks data. By extracting the data directly from QuickBooks, SalesTax-Pro automates the data entry, calculations, and printing of your sales tax returns. Currently, this product only works for the California returns, but the company is planning versions for other states soon.
