    Quicken is a convenient way to keep track of personal finances, but many people are unaware of Quicken's power and end up using only the basic features. Sometimes Quicken raises more questions than it answers: Return of capital from stock? Net worth? What are they and why do you need to know about them? Luckily, Quicken 2009: The Missing Manual picks up where Quicken's help resources leave off.

You'll find step-by-step instructions for using Quicken on your Windows PC, including useful features such as budgeting, recording investment transactions, and archiving Quicken data files. You also learn why and when to use specific features, and which ones would be most useful in a given situation. This book helps you:

• Set up Quicken to take care of your specific needs
• Follow your money from the moment you earn it
• Make deposits, pay for expenses, and track the things you own and how much you owe
• Take care of financial tasks online, and quickly reconcile your accounts
• Create and use budgets and track your investments
• Generate reports to prepare your tax returns and evaluate your financial fitness

And a lot more. Quicken 2009: The Missing Manual accommodates readers at every technical level, whether you're a first-time or advanced Quicken user. For a topic as important as your personal finances, why trust anything else?...

    Maybe your idea of an accounting system is a shoe box that you simply stuff all your receipts and statements in when you shuffle off to see your accountant once a year. Perhaps you wonder where the money goes while you sip your daily cappuccino. Or maybe your retirement planning consists of buying lottery tickets.

It’s Quicken 2006 to the rescue! America’s #1 personal finance software, it helps you balance your bank account, track income and expenses, pay bills, manage investments, plan for the kids’ college or your retirement, and more! But merely owning the software won’t help—you have to know how to use it. With step-by-step instructions and lots of screen shots, this friendly guide shows you how to:

• Install and set up Quicken (or update from a previous version) and navigate using the financial activity centers and QuickTabs
• Manage personal or small business bank accounts and even print checks
• Set up and review a “Secret Plan” (the author’s term for a budget)
• Track your tax deductions
• Monitor your income and outgo (with eleven suggested categories for expenses)
• Track your assets (bank accounts, investments, and real estate), and debts (home mortgage principal, loan and credit card balances, etc.)
• Monitor stocks, bonds, and mutual funds
• Pay bills electronically and, in some cases, do all your banking online
• Maximize your investment earnings and minimize your taxes
• Handle the payroll for a small business

Author and Quicken guru Stephen Nelson is a CPA, so he knows how to help you get the most from Quicken 2006 and the most for your money. This guide empowers you to take charge of your finances. It covers:

• Using Quicken’s six powerful calculators to compare options and make smarter borrowing and refinancing decisions, more accurate savings and investment calculations, and more
• Creating and printing reports and charts to summarize your financial information in all kinds of ways
• Working with the Premier, Deluxe, and Basic editions of Quicken

Think about it. For less than the cost of a pair of shoes (and a new shoe box to put your valuable financial info in), you can learn how to determine exactly where your money goes and how to make it go further. Quicken 2006 For Dummies is an investment in your financial future—one that pays very good dividends....
