Not the issue - thing of it is, my life gains in complexity without interoperability to Quickbooks because it's the language my accountant speaks. And without my accountant, I'm fucked. Fun example:

In 2008, I paid the state of California $800 in franchise taxes for my business.

In 2009, I paid the state of California $800 in franchise taxes for my business.

In 2010, I paid the state of California $800 in franchise taxes for my business.

In 2011, I paid the state of California $800 in franchise taxes for my business.

In 2012, I paid the state of California $800 in franchise taxes for my business.

In 2013, I paid the state of California $800 in franchise taxes for my business.

In 2014, I paid the state of California $800 in franchise taxes for my business.

In 2014, the state of California hit me for $92 in interest for not paying my taxes in 2012. My accountant gave me the direct number of an actuary at the State of California who revealed that my accountant in 2011 (different accountant) had filled out the wrong paperwork, thereby paying my 2010 $800 twice but not my 2011. Thus, I had to pay the $92, and fill out a special form that gave the state of California permission to transfer my overpayment (which they had been under no obligation to tell me about) to 2012. Without that magic number, I'd still be fighting it.

Two months later - Friday - the State of California declared that I hadn't paid my taxes in 2012 so they were going to hit me for $800 plus interest, minus the $92 that they'd billed me erroneously for interest on a payment I hadn't actually made but an additional $150 penalty for not paying. I gave this notice (as well as a scan of the cancelled check) to my accountant, who spent an hour and a half in Franz Kafka's phone tree to determine that the entire problem was that the state of California had fucked up, not my 2011 accountant, and that they were going to refund me the $92 in interest they had charged me for their own fuckup.

Fuck California, by the way, and fuck Los Angeles in particular: two years ago they sent out "AB63s", which is a form that says "since we haven't gotten any business tax from you, and since you haven't registered your business with us locally, we're going to assume you've been in business the maximum amount of time and making the absolute maximum amount of money, therefore you owe us $296,000." They sent these out to everyone who had ever done I-9 work within Los Angeles county. So you call them up, wait on the phone for two hours to learn that it's a scare tactic to get you to cough up your $9 in entertainment industry tax, which you then pay and get your business license. But since the office that sends out the scare notices and the office that actually records your business are different offices, even if you pay and get things straightened out, Los Angeles sends you out a nastier scare-o-gram saying that since you didn't respond to their last terrorist threat, they've added $136,000 in penalties to your $296,000 tax bill and if you don't pay immediately they will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.

TL;DR - I need my accountant the way Avon Barksdale needs his lawyer, just because I live in this beknighted corner of the world.
