Description:

Managing your personal finances always has been a game of give and take, and Intuit Quicken 2001 Suite gives you all of the players in one user-friendly, fully integrated package. New and improved features such as Smart Reconcile, better 401(k) tracking, and integrated Web browsing make this software a comprehensive way to organize your personal finances. Plan your investments and finances with Quicken 2001 Deluxe, prepare and file your taxes with TurboTax Deluxe, and protect your family's assets with Quicken Family Lawyer 2001.

Quicken 2001 Deluxe is designed to control seven major areas of your personal finances: banking, investing, taxes, planning, spending and saving, loans, and insurance. Improved Activity Centers link these sections together, while enhanced Alerts let you stay on top of investment opportunities. Travelers will appreciate the ability to view banking and investments online through a secure Web page at Quicken.com. However, if you are new to online banking or feel uncomfortable with the idea of being able to access personal information on the Web, you might need some time to adjust to this new feature.

TurboTax Deluxe will guide you through the process of filing your taxes with step-by-step interviews, careful checks to catch errors, and personalized money-saving features. A TurboTax State manufacturer's rebate lets you file your taxes electronically (one free State program per rebate, along with a free Federal return). If you prefer to file the old-fashioned way, you also can print your return onto IRS-approved forms that are integrated into the software.

Finally, Quicken Family Lawyer 2001 will walk you through the preparation of legal documents from start to finish. Get help deciding on the documents that you need and preparing them (based on step-by-step interviewing), then prepare and print your legal documents.

People who have not used personal-finance software in the past should be prepared to spend a few hours entering relevant financial data. However, Quicken Suite 2001 comes with a slew of handy setup assistants and a formidable help section. All things considered, this is a comprehensive, relatively easy-to-use suite of products that is designed to make planning of your finances easier, which is always a good investment. --Gisele Toueg
