It’s tax season — ugh. Very few people look forward to tax season, especially if they have small businesses or multiple income streams that make filing complicated and cumbersome. Thankfully there are a lot of software options that help do the work for you, and some of the best tax software out there is actually on sale during tax season. Intuit’s QuickBooks Online is one of them.

As with any kind of business venture, QuickBooks Online is definitely where you want to be. It’s comprehensive, with support for payroll, income and expenses, taxes, and much more. Perhaps you already know that and have just found it’s too expensive for your tastes? There’s a silver lining here. For a limited time, when you buy any QuickBooks Online plan, you’ll get 50% off for 3 months. That drops the price of each of the tiers considerably, but also you’ll get access to the free guided setup that will walk you through everything you need to do. It’s just in time for tax season, and to get you get all prepped to file with minimal infractions.

Now is the perfect time to get set up, run through the free guided system, and get your business accounting in order for the 2023 tax season. More importantly, you’ll get up to three months of coverage at a discounted rate, giving you plenty of time to try out everything that QuickBooks Online has to offer. The real benefits unlock when you start using the platform year-round. It’s always better to keep your accounting in order through regular maintenance, rather than doing a panic scramble at the end or beginning of the year, just to prep for tax season. A Prep for Taxes tool built into QuickBooks, for example, will help you easily calculate taxable amounts, without altering any of your reporting or records. You’ll know exactly what’s going on for the upcoming tax season, and you can review it anytime.

But QuickBooks Online goes way beyond just tax filing, deductions, and tracking. It’s an incredibly valuable tool for standard business, as well. You can run, generate, and export reports on things like profit and loss, expenses, balance sheets, donations, cash flow, and much more. You can also view sales and sales tax information, see and customize estimates for clients and customers — including converting those estimates into active invoices — assign vendor payments for contractors and organize those vendors, handle standard invoicing and payments, and much more. It’s a comprehensive business tool that simplifies a lot of accounting and finance-based tasks.

There are four tiers, beginning with Simple Start at $30 per month — right now $15 per month — up to the top tier which is Advanced at $200 per month — discounted to $100 per month currently. Each plan includes free guided setup, but the basic only offers one sales channel, while each additional tier adds more, along with extra users, more features, and better workflow options. Sign up right now, you’ll get 50% off any QuickBooks Online plan for 3 months. It’s a great deal, and honestly, the longer you wait the more difficult the process is going to be — get ready to file those taxes as early as possible! Bear in mind, there is a QuickBooks Online free trial, which you can absolutely still take advantage of, but you won’t get the discounted pricing mentioned here.

It's important to keep your data and information safe while you're browsing online. That's something that McAfee Total Protection Ultimate is particularly adept at assisting you with.

It's called Personal Data Cleanup. Here's what you need to know.

Personal Data Cleanup is able to find and help you remove all your personal info from data broker and people-search sites. The service scans the riskiest data broker sites for information such as your home address, date of birth, and even the names of your relatives.

A group of people sitting at a desk looking at 1Password displayed on a screen.

Right now, you can save 50% off 1Password for ether you or your family. The single account plan costs just $1.50 per month billed annually and offers unlimited passwords, items, and 1GB of document storage. Alternatively, you can sign up to the 1Password Families plan for $2.50 per month and share the features with up to five family members. Here's why it's so important that you sign up to 1Password.

1Password is one of the best password managers out there but you may be wondering why you even need it. A password manager means that the app keeps track of all your logins, passwords, credit card details, and a bunch of other details about your identity right down to secure notes, so you don't have to worry about remembering everything yourself. Without a password manager, it's tempting to reuse passwords across multiple accounts and that's the worst thing you can do when trying to keep your data secure. Once a nefarious source gains your password, they can access so much more about you than if you have unique passwords for everything.
