I have been using TurboTax online for years with great success, and for personal taxes or a pass-through entity, it works great. This year I needed to file a C-Corp tax return. TurboTax Online does not handle C-Corp returns, so I opted to download the Desktop version - TurboTax Business 2024. For starters, you can not directly import QuickBooks information from Quickbooks Online into the desktop version of TurboTax Business. You have to have QuickBooks desktop software installed on your computer, because TurboTax Desktop automatically looks for a Quickbooks Desktop file (.QBW), and doesn't give you the option to browse for a file manually. There is a migration tool that lets you convert a downloaded .QBXML file from QuickBooks Online, and import it into the QuickBooks Desktop software (if you even have the desktop version, and have an active subscription to it), which you can then finish setting up your company in the QB Desktop version, and then if all went well, you can hopefully import it into TurboTax Desktop. Unfortunately, I only have Quickbooks Online and NO subscription to Quickbooks Desktop. I was able to download a 30-day TRIAL version of Quickbooks Enterprise (Desktop), but unfortunately, it doesn't play very nice with the migration tool. After 2 solid days of trying to get the migration tool to complete a migration without any errors into the trial desktop version, I was finally able to verify my data in the desktop version, and then import it into TurboTax desktop, which also didn't go smooth the first couple of tries. The trial version would often times close by itself or give some kind of error preventing TurboTax from completing the import. Apparently both programs have to be running for the import to take place, TurboTax desktop doesn't seem to be equipped to import a QB desktop file by itself. This would probably go a lot smoother if Intuit gave TurboTax Desktop version the ability to import directly from Quickbooks Online, or at least be able to import data using the QBXML file that is downloaded from Quickbooks Online. The whole idea of having to use the Quickbooks Desktop software as a middle-man for importing into TurboTax Desktop is poor design, or a terrible oversight, in my opinion. Better yet, Intuit could just outfit Turbotax Online to handle C-Corp returns and import directly from Quickbooks Online, and do away with all of this software requirement craziness. Wish I could give 5 stars, but this whole C-Corp process with Turbotax has been a nightmare, and I came very close to opting for a different solution. Aside from all of the absolute insanity with importing the Quickbooks data, the software by itself performed pretty well, but next year, if nothing has changed, I'll have to find a new solution. I'm not buying QB Desktop software (in addition to QBO) just for the ability to import my data into TurboTax Desktop software.

1. Gui looks like it was made in the 1960's, maybe 1800's. 2. When checking for errors, we updated according to instructions, then when filing, we were told those updates had to be undone. 3. Had to update turbo tax to continue filing form. 4. Expensive for a primitive under supported app. 5. Will never recommend. 6. No automation, a lot of data was repetitive. 7. Resizing window doesn't resize its contents. Add responsive design please. 8. This survey couldn't even automate to add email used in app.

I would have entered fewer stars if possible. You teased me with being able to import from QBO, but then would only import from the desktop version and sent me to QBO to pay you again for assistance when I already purchased this product. Next, the interview was abysmal - didn't remember any of my choices, endless loops of trying to sell me more services - felt like I was buying a low cost carrier airfare. Finally, the forms did not work and I ended up just deleting some that were reported to be necessary just to finish. I have been doing my own business taxes for decades and the product just keeps getting worse. I know you want me to pay for a person, but can you just make the product work?

When I amended a previously e-field tax return the amended file continued to carry and print the instructions for electronic filing rather than the ones for mail in filing in spite of the fact that I repeatedly checked the box indicating I intended to file by mail and the only way I could force it to provide the mail in instructions was to move to the forms mode and specifically search for the correct form. It still would not include the mail in form with my printed copy, nor could I delete that form from the file. Also, I updated the signature date for the form 1065x and updated the 1065 amended return, but the interview process never prompted me to update the signature date on the 1065. It continued to carry the date for the originally filed return and again I had to go into forms and change the date manually to be consistent with the 1065x form. Lastly, the amended 1065 return continued to carry the original attached signature form 8453 PE. I was unable to remove or replace it had I wanted to because the program would not allow me to file the amended return electronically and therefore would not reach the point in the program where I was asked to upload the sform 8453 PE.

Im an infrequent user, once a year only. Generally, the program gets the job done, but there are times that it is confusing. For instance, to fix an issue I had to move to the forms section, but it took a phone call to TT to find that out. Better than paying a preparer though, for sure.

Have used TurboTax Business for 4 years and Trubotax Delux for the last 20 or so years. This year our business and investments brought us to 2 new states and into Ira and Solo401k investments. Specifically, IRA and Solo 401k ownership of a multimember LLC and purchasing properties in Tennessee and Arkansas. TurboTax gives very little guidance on this type of returns. The Tennessee and Arkansas state returns are vague as well. Once downloaded I found that they can both be completed non each of the state's sites for free. I realize my specifice tax return is a little more complicated than a standard 1065 but wish there was a little more help and clarity on the topics

I encountered an error when doing my state taxes. I spent four plus hours on the phone with the support personnel to rectify the issue. The solution was a creative one the second customer service rep devised, while legal is skirted the bounds. I was disappointed to have paid the sum of money I did for the Intuit tax product only to spend four hours plus on the phone with a technical rep to resolve a programming issue.

Turbotax should do a much better job of having the software updated. My return was rejected three times and Turbotax finally told me that their software needed to be updated and I was told on the due dated that I could not file because they needed to update the software.

Your product naming is downright deceptive, almost criminally so. I purchased 2024 Personal and Business Turbotax, only to discover that it is not at all a superset of 2024 Business Turbotax. And yet that's in the very product name. It says personal AND business. It does not say "Personal and if you own and operate a home business we can help but we can't really file a 1041 or other business form. For that you need to purchase a more expensive different product with a very similar name."

TurboTax Business CONTINUES to improperly do the Massachusetts trust income reporting. I have reported this same problem for the last 3 years yet TurboTax doesn't fix the problem. The problem is that it fails to carryover from the Federal return that all income was paid out to the beneficiary. The Federal is correct where there is zero income so there is zero tax. However, the Massachusetts state return shows ZERO income distribution when the inputs to the software clearly shows that and is reflected in the Federal return. I have to manually go into the Massachusetts IDD form to enter the distributed amounts which TurboTax failed to fill in. Only then is the Mass return correct with all income distributed so there is zero tax due.
