It’s tax season — ugh. Very few people look forward to tax season, especially if they have small businesses or multiple income streams that make filing complicated and cumbersome. Thankfully there are a lot of software options that help do the work for you, and some of the best tax software out there is actually on sale during tax season. Intuit’s QuickBooks Online is one of them.

As with any kind of business venture, QuickBooks Online is definitely where you want to be. It’s comprehensive, with support for payroll, income and expenses, taxes, and much more. Perhaps you already know that and have just found it’s too expensive for your tastes? There’s a silver lining here. For a limited time, when you buy any QuickBooks Online plan, you’ll get 50% off for 3 months. That drops the price of each of the tiers considerably, but also you’ll get access to the free guided setup that will walk you through everything you need to do. It’s just in time for tax season, and to get you get all prepped to file with minimal infractions.

Now is the perfect time to get set up, run through the free guided system, and get your business accounting in order for the 2023 tax season. More importantly, you’ll get up to three months of coverage at a discounted rate, giving you plenty of time to try out everything that QuickBooks Online has to offer. The real benefits unlock when you start using the platform year-round. It’s always better to keep your accounting in order through regular maintenance, rather than doing a panic scramble at the end or beginning of the year, just to prep for tax season. A Prep for Taxes tool built into QuickBooks, for example, will help you easily calculate taxable amounts, without altering any of your reporting or records. You’ll know exactly what’s going on for the upcoming tax season, and you can review it anytime.

But QuickBooks Online goes way beyond just tax filing, deductions, and tracking. It’s an incredibly valuable tool for standard business, as well. You can run, generate, and export reports on things like profit and loss, expenses, balance sheets, donations, cash flow, and much more. You can also view sales and sales tax information, see and customize estimates for clients and customers — including converting those estimates into active invoices — assign vendor payments for contractors and organize those vendors, handle standard invoicing and payments, and much more. It’s a comprehensive business tool that simplifies a lot of accounting and finance-based tasks.

There are four tiers, beginning with Simple Start at $30 per month — right now $15 per month — up to the top tier which is Advanced at $200 per month — discounted to $100 per month currently. Each plan includes free guided setup, but the basic only offers one sales channel, while each additional tier adds more, along with extra users, more features, and better workflow options. Sign up right now, you’ll get 50% off any QuickBooks Online plan for 3 months. It’s a great deal, and honestly, the longer you wait the more difficult the process is going to be — get ready to file those taxes as early as possible! Bear in mind, there is a QuickBooks Online free trial, which you can absolutely still take advantage of, but you won’t get the discounted pricing mentioned here.

Dell XPS 13 laptop just crashed to its cheapest-ever price
The Dell XPS 13, open on a table in front of a window.

If you like the idea of a thin and light laptop like the MacBook Air but don't want to enter the Apple ecosystem or spend a lot of money, then the Dell XPS lineup is right up your alley. In essence, the Dell XPS 13 is Dell's response to the MacBook Air, and while it can still be relatively expensive, this configuration has a great deal on it. You can grab it now at Dell for just $600, rather than the regular $800, making it one of the better Dell XPS deals we've seen this week.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 13
The Dell XPS 13 is a surprisingly powerful little laptop for its size; with a mid-range 12th Gen Intel Core i5-1230U, it can handle many things. That means anything from day-to-day activities to productivity tasks and even potentially some editing work. Because of it's 0.55-inch thickness and 2.59-pound weight, you can easily put it in a bag and carry it around with you, making this a great option if you're constantly on the move and need a laptop for work or school. The 13.-6inch screen only runs FHD, but that's not an issue with a screen that small, and, more importantly, it can hit an impressive 500nits of peak brightness, meaning you can use the XPS 13 in any situation, including outside on a bright day, which is impressive.
