I'm going to be talking about Quickbooks Self Employed (QBSE) a lot in the series of posts on taxes, so figured it would be useful to have a full review post of it. Quickbooks has multiple offerings, so it's important to understand that I use and recommend the Self Employed product, and this review isn't of the Online or Desktop offerings.
