sonicice: Oct 21, 2000; Michael J Beverage, I've got a bone to pick with you.

At the beginning of this year I started working as an independent contractor. My checks have no taxes taken out of them. Would this be a good time to start using, say, Quicken, to keep track of my expenses and the like? The thought of my tax situation come April 2012 is quite scary to me as I've always just filed a simple 1040EZ or whatever with Turbotax Free.

So, what is the best way to keep track of things like mileage, gas, and other expenses and my income that I will need at the end of the year?

EDIT: Also, can the purchase of the software be written off?

EDIT2: Do I need to pay taxes for January 2011-April 2011 by this April 18? Aaahhhhh.
