QuickBooks Self-Employed is the ONLY version that integrates with the mileage tracker AND provides quarterly income tax estimates – taking into account your own health insurance profile. It is designed essentially for a single person business.
If your business has employees, inventory or track jobs, one of the other QuickBooks Online versions will suit you better.
