    ATBS lost my business after four months when the rep suggested my wife “maybe didn’t know how to fax something”. Insulting prick.

    Basic Quick Books will help you set up your company, keep track of expenses and pay them, pay you a paycheck and figure your quarterly taxes and pay them along with filing the 941 quarterly forms and the annual 940 and W2. Then have an accountant do your year end taxes and you're done.

    What he said
    I did this for 21 years in my first career. I can't tell you how stress free & easy it was when I became company driver. Sure, I'd like to own a kick ### truck but don't know if I want to go back to all that lol

    How did you get them to actually call you? Once we paid them to start we have heard nothing. Hubby called and was told they would contact later that day, well it's been 2 more days of nothing. Doesn't give me confidence.

    I talk to them regularly. No issues with communication. Interesting. Do you have a person you work with? Email them.
