I agree with Cam....a book keeping program is way overkill. If you're not comfortable creating a spreadsheet in Excel, then something like Quicken or MS Money to keep track of income, expenses & mileage would be a good choice.

IMHO you'd be better off spending $40 a year on a good tax prep program (which is a deductible expense). I personally like TurboTax Deluxe, which includes everything you need to do your schedule C. It really simplifies the process.
