Read what the QB box says about payroll and don't waste your time, 
the time of an attorney or the time of newsgroup readers. Two 
Florida attorney's now say that the law was so clear that a court 
would penalize them and me for filing suit based on QB2000 or 2001
payroll. They also say the QB license agreement ONLY lets you sue 
in California. That is the license agreement on which you probably
clicked YES, without bothering to read it, when you installed QB.
Unfortunately, it completely binds you in all states.

You can quickly say NO to QB about later payroll tax updates. I 
am installing 20 copies of QB2001, so I know it can be done fast. 
Say you update QB annually & your computer people only let you use 
the Internet once a year (or you installed QB for other places & 
heard it all before, or your CPA does not allow tax table updates). 
The clincher is to ask for their name and number so you can report 
them for wasting your time (they are sensitive about how fast and
satisfactorily they handle calls).

Qtable avoids expiring QB6 - 2000 tax tables for $39.95 ((see
http://blocktax.com/ QuickBooks Add-ons for more than 100 add-ons).
2001 makes you to get a free table that works until 2/15/02, so 
Qtable does not yet work with it.
