Ask HN: Freelancers/Contractors – what software do you use for accounting

4 points by ktavera 12y ago ↗ HN

I recently switched over from a FTE to being a 1099 contractor and see there are some additional tax filing responsibilities i'll have the burden of now. I looked around for something simple - I put in my income for the quarter, and the forms are auto filled out and filed with the IRS. So far i've just come across accounting software for businesses with multiple employees. Any freelancers have any advice on a good tax/accounting management application?

http://ledger-cli.org/ , incredibly flexible, very powerful reports. but only use it if you're willing to really drill down the documentation and discussion group

I just use mint. Much easier to use then even the best freelance accounting software.
