  • Rabbit - Why skip payroll??

    I was really looking forward to better understanding the ins and outs of the QuickBooks payroll module. So I was stunned to find the author say, on p. 409, "...this book doesn't include the instructions for using QuickBook's built-in payroll feature." WHAT? Sorry Ms. Biafore, as far as I am concerned, part of the "missing" manual is still missing.
