My TaxACT Review was my first tax software review this year since the folks at TaxACT were the first to get in touch with me. TaxACT has a free version that can be used for even more complex tax returns, but I say part with $10 to get some extra features that are pretty helpful.
I wrote Working with Financial Accounts: Categories and Tags, Attachments and Flags to explain how each of these features can be used in personal finance software to define financial transactions. Spending categories are the most basic way to differentiate one expense from another and are necessary if you're going to use your software for budgeting. Flags are used to call your attention to a transaction for any reason (perhaps to remind you to verify a credit card charge), tags further define categories if you want to get that anal about budgeting and attachments are images of receipts, etc. which are associated with transactions.
Account Registers in Personal Finance Software was written for total newbs who want to really understand their software and where all the action starts: in the account register.
What is Personal Finance Software? was also written for those who are completely new to the software or who are considering using personal finance software and have no idea how it can help them to manage money.
