To import sales, you need to have a line feed/carriage return between sales to indicate the start of the next sale. This is because a sale might have several lines on an invoice so it needs to know when the sale ends and the next one begins. Try exporting sales from the sample file to get more than one and you'll see how to set it up. Rich @Crystal

Contrary to what Matthew Bird says, I think you can change the payroll tax rates. I've been doing it each year. You just have to do it manually through the payroll categories screen. What I find INFURIATING is that although it claims you can import sales from a spread sheet (csv or txt file), it doesn't work. It uses the client from line one and all their sales information fine, but then it just adds all the rest of the sales on to that one invoice. This is so ridiculous. Basically it means you can just import sales one by one, but what's the point of importing if you have to do this. It also seems to have a few other minor bugs. However, if you need to do payroll in addition to other bookkeeping it's a good solution. I wish Quick Books would just include a basic payroll in their Mac program instead of selling Payroll separately with a MONTLY fee. I may consider switching if it weren't for that.

And even if you DO purchase the upgrade, they do not guarantee that the rates are complete. Rhode Island has a Job Development Fund tax that is not included in the MYOB tax rate package, so even updating the rates each year does not produce accurate reporting. I find this INFURIATING, and however good the software is, the intentional locked-door that prevents manual rate changing is criminal.
