At its most basic, in terms of ease-of-use, features, and price point, QuickBooks Self-Employed-is the best entry-level bookkeeping software for the solo entrepreneur, such as a real estate agent or any other independent contractor or freelancer.  It is a simple bookkeeping solution that anyone can master.

• Three versions are available. They will each do the same bookkeeping tasks, but the Tax Bundle version will help you with filing taxes using Intuit’s TurboTax.  The Live Tax bundle includes the additional benefit of having live assistance available to answer questions and a CPA will review your return before it is submitted.
