It includes everything in Quicken Premier - bank sync, budgeting, investment tracking, and advanced reports - plus dedicated tools for landlords and self-employed individuals.

Quicken Home and Business vs QuickBooks
Quicken Home and Business is ideal if you have simple freelance income or 1 to 3 rental properties alongside your personal finances. If you run a business with employees, need payroll processing, or have complex accounting requirements, QuickBooks is the better choice. Quicken Home and Business is a personal finance tool with business features added - not a full accounting replacement.

Conclusion
Quicken Home and Business is the most comprehensive personal finance tool for users who blend personal finances with rental property income or self-employment. By consolidating everything in one application, it eliminates the need for separate spreadsheets or multiple software subscriptions to track your finances holistically.
If you are a landlord with a few properties or a freelancer who needs to keep business and personal finances separate, Quicken Home and Business is a cost-effective solution compared to maintaining both Quicken and a separate accounting tool. Just keep in mind it is Windows-only, and users with more complex business needs may still require QuickBooks alongside it.

Frequently Asked Questions
For very simple businesses it can, but it is not a full QuickBooks replacement. Quicken Home and Business handles basic invoicing, profit and loss tracking, and expense categorization. It does not support payroll, inventory management, accounts payable workflows, or multi-user accounting access. For businesses with employees or complex accounting needs, QuickBooks is the better tool.
There is no hard limit on the number of properties you can track. You can set up as many rental property accounts as you need, each with its own income and expense tracking. Performance may slow with a very large number of properties, but Quicken does not enforce a maximum.
Yes, Quicken Home and Business includes a Schedule E report for rental income and expenses. The report organizes your property income and deductible expenses (repairs, depreciation, mortgage interest, property taxes) in the format needed for Schedule E when filing your taxes. You can export this data to TurboTax for filing.
Yes, Quicken Home and Business includes basic invoicing tools. You can create invoices with your business name and logo, send them to clients, and track which invoices are paid or outstanding.

Quicken Home and Business adds rental property management, business profit and loss, invoicing, and Schedule C and E reports on top of everything in Premier.
