Orlando, FL -- (SBWIRE) --05/12/2011 -- The latest version of ezCheckPersonal, the personal use check writing software from Halfpricesoft (http://www.halfpricesoft.com), contains several new features that make check writing and tax reporting easier and faster.

New features included with the current version of the software include:

User-defined payment categories - Users can now classify payments using ezCheckPersonal's suggested categories or categories they define and assign themselves. This feature lets customers assign payment categories that make more organizational sense to them or that align with their tax reporting needs. Users spend less time searching for the right category for a payment and less time going through reports for tax-deductible payments at tax time.

Expanded MEMO and Note fields - Halfpricesoft.com has doubled the space available for both memos (on the check) and note (not seen on check) fields. Customers can now add more information in each field (total of 40 characters in the memo field and 100 characters in the note field) to help them remember what the payment was for and any special actions that need to be taken regarding the payment.

"Simple, easy, fast. That's what computer software should be," said Halfpricesoft.com founder Dr. Ge. "Tax forms are enough hassle without having to sort through a ton of paper records and trying to remember which expenses are deductible. ezCheckPersonal lets users record a transaction once and find the data quickly and easily anytime they need it - a real benefit when tax time comes."

Additional Features

In addition to the user-defined categories and expanded note fields, ezCheckPersonal includes numerous features that make writing checks and tracking transactions faster, simpler and more affordable:

- So easy to use customers can begin printing checks within minutes of installation
