I think you may be a little confused. QuickBooks is an accounting package which allows you to produce financial reports. Those financial reports mainly the year end balance sheet and annual profit and loss (income statement) provide the information to your accountant to prepare your annual business tax returns. If you would like to prepare your own tax returns you will need a product like TaxCut or TurboTax.
Being a Certified Public Accountant and a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor I work with many business owners who use QuickBooks. The best and most effective way is to find an accountant who will help you prepare clean reports from QuickBooks thus reducing the amount of time that is necessary for your accountant to prepare your year end business tax returns.
