Tax season is upon us, and the filing deadline is approaching fast. Partnerships and S-Corps must file by March 15 unless they apply for a six-month extension, while individual income taxes are due by April 15. If your business operates on a fiscal year basis, your tax return will be due on or before the 15th day of the third or fourth month after the close of your recent fiscal year. In any of these cases, the time to file is either here or soon. Intuit’s QuickBooks Online can help with the process, especially if you’re a small to medium-sized business and trying to do all the work yourself.

As a financial and bookkeeping suite, it’s crucial to point out that QuickBooks Online can help you with much more than your taxes, filing, and basic expenses. It’s a one-stop shop for business finances, in general, from managing and paying bills to handling employee payroll, tracking inventory, managing receipts and invoices with clients or partners, and much more.
For example, here are some of the features you can expect from Simple Start, the lowest tier of QuickBooks Online:
That’s a lot already, but with the higher tiers, like Plus or Advanced, you get even more:
A list makes it easy to see what features to expect, but it doesn’t necessarily give you an idea of how helpful a platform or service will be for your business. Some of the features above, for instance, you may not need or use.
If you haven’t filed yet, need help organizing your tax information, or just have some questions, QuickBooks Online offers an excellent way to kickstart the whole process. And if you stick around after filing, you’ll get all the additional features to help you manage finances throughout the year, so during next year’s tax season, you’ll be ready to rock and roll before the deadline.

Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
Two new highly requested iCloud plugins just got added to ChatGPT, giving people who rely on Apple’s Mail and Calendar services a way to search emails, check appointments, and manage their schedules directly through the chatbot.
The integration is rolling out to all ChatGPT plans, including the free tier. You can access it on the web, desktop, and iOS.
