Do Quicken guarantee their software against an audit? I doubt it. The
EULAs on anything vaguely financial in nature that I've seen (and I work
in a financial planning firm, so I've seen my fair share of them) disclaim
every possible liability, and then some. Which means that your not
getting any extra protection out of your annual payments in the event of a
fuckup.
Best course of action is to maintain a good working relationship with an
accountant who is knowledgeable in tax law, and maintain your accounts in
an OSS package that you can customise to *your* needs, according to the
advice of your accountant.
