Mostly good but I had trouble with the Federal Partnership Return specifically focused on the balance sheet entries. I chose to use the guided approach and had significant trouble getting the capital amounts balanced. I reviewed all the forms individually and could not locate where the incorrect information was stored. After reviewing several on line help notes, I found a reference to use the quick entry solution. Upon using the quick entry, it took me to a second page that contained the incorrect info which I was able to change. After review, I was still not able to locate where this information was accessible except through quick entry. I also was not sure where the incorrect information had come from since I had not previously used the quick entry solution. I suspect TurboTax auto populated the info on my first pass and then never updated it after that leading to an error that was difficult to resolve. Also, from early on, I could see the error was driven by Form 1065 p5-6 line 21 column D. Unfortunately the magnifying glass, quick zoom and Source selections do not work for this field which made tracking down the source very challenging. I've used TurboTax for years and have higher expectations for the product. It would not be such a challenge but I spent probably 4 hours tracking down the solution to this problem which with correctly working quick zoom or source could have been solved in a few minutes.

In the previous years I was able to prepare the W-2's and 1099's very easily and without any hassle. This year it is been more complicated and asking too many questions making it very hard to with, just because I registered and gave all my information. In previous years I just installed the software or downloaded it and worked on it without registering.

i spoke with Amber (might have wrong name but easily traceable). in my 70 plus years as a multiple hospitality business owner, state licensed electrician and rental homeowner this is if not the most complete employee i have ever encountered she is definitely top 2 or 3. She was very knowledgeable, pleasant and more than willing to assist.

Special allocations are incredibly cumbersome and hard to verify how amounts end-upon individual K-1s; it doesn't matter if I use the guided approach or the direct-to-forms approach (I tend to default to the latter because I essentially prepare this tax return (including K-1 amounts) in Excel for quality control.

Program worked fine for Federal but it did not include the state's forms we needed. No where on the website or program description does it say that some states are excluded. Spent an hour on the phone with TT and the reps there were very nice but equally surprised. They tried to help, but there was nothing to do, so had to fill out the state form manually and submit by mail. TT Business let me down this year.

The app works fairly well but I would really like to see a Mac version. As is, I have to run on Parallels and switch back and forth between my Mac bookkeeping, spreadsheets and banking software and TurboTax. This is inconvenient at best and there is no way to import Mac Quickbooks data into TurboTax business. Between Intuit's 2nd class support of the Mac platform (in the case of TurboTax business, none at all), the move to online/cloud applications (I don't want my finances online!) and the push toward subscription services, I am looking for alternatives to the Intuit universe.

Everything went fine through the federal return , but Virginia State was a nightmare regarding getting it to efile. The final stage where errors are discovered does NOT prompt with clarity to help you make the corrections. I was forced to guess. Making various changes allowed me to eventually successfully efile. I spent 4 times as much time this year on my LLC's tax preperation.

Terrible!!! Isn't properly reconciling capital. Return and K-1 info doesnt reconcile. I know exactly how to fix yet this terrible system isn't giving me access to make the correct entries on the forms. Made to be simple and fool proof until it clearly is not working and then no ability to fix!

The SW needs to: 1. Not use rounding as this causes errors that need adjustments in obscure places. 2.SW should query the user if they would like to use schedules like (M1, M2) even though they may not be required, for instance, by income. Keeping the schedules ensures that a full record is kept. Finding out that schedules can be enabled by going to forms, clicking yes instead of no is not good and causes much loss in time.

1) All I need to do is file a 1041 for a trust. Many people are in this same position. Why doesn't TurboTax have a much simpler and less costly program to do this? We don't need everything else that TurboTax Business can do. 2) Why on earth is TurboTax Business unable to download the Trust information directly from my Broker, like TurboTax Premier does?!? Why, after paying so much for TurboTax Business, do I have to ferret out all those blasted numbers on the paper copy from my Broker and manually type them into the program?!? FIX THIS, please!
