    Helpful & easy to understand. The ledger portion was especially nice to have in here.

    I was looking at specifics on what to file and where to file when I do my own payroll. This course very briefly goes over federal taxes (how to calculate but not how to pay), and very briefly quickbooks. The test link for quickbooks is expired, so it is not user friendly.
