The Web represents a treasure trove of information about personal finance, small business, and tax accounting that Quicken users will appreciate. Individuals, investors, and small business owners just beginning their research, however, often aren’t sure which Web sites offer the most reliable information. Here are half a dozen or so sites that provide lots of reliable information you can use.
| Site | Why It’s Useful |
|---|---|
| www.ssa.gov | The Social Security Administration Web site lets you estimate your future benefits. (Despite what you sometimes here people say, Social Security will “be there” for future generations. But benefits will probably be scaled back for at least some recipients, which you can read more about at the Social Security Administration’s Web site. |
| Financial Engines | Founded by Nobel Prize winner Bill Sharpe, this Web site lets you assess the riskiness of your investments and also make smarter asset allocation decisions. |
| Quicken | Find lots of stuff for Quicken.com users, all from the maker of Quicken — Intuit. Note that if you register at the Quicken.com site, you also gain additional functionality within the Quicken program. For example, you can usually download stock price information for free. |
| Microsoft Money | Find lots of stuff from Microsoft — most of it pretty good — about managing your money. |
| www.irs.gov | Most people by now know that the IRS Web site provides downloadable forms and informational booklets. What some people don’t know, however, is that it also provides access to U.S. tax law (both the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations). |
| This author of Quicken 2010 For Dummies has posted several hundred pages of small business, personal financial planning, and tax-related information, including free downloadable copies of many of his old (but still useful) books. | |
