Understanding where to get the pin number for the Michigan Fiduciary would have been helpful. There should be a part that says "if you've never been issued a pin number select a 5 digit pin here." This would have saved me an entire day of headache researching.

If I hadn't been a professional tax preparer in the past, this program would not be easy for a lay-person to use. But since I have the skills, it's better than paying a fortune to a CPA. I might suggest for other people to use the TT tax prep service though, if it's affordable to you.

This is my 5th filing year for a Trust, and I've used TurboTax Business each time. Here are the three key reasons for my rating. 1) Does not import data from my financial institutions (like Personal does). 2) Does not help at all with my State filing for Utah. 3) Does not offer a Mac version of the Business software. I switched from a PC to a Mac a handful of months ago and was really disappointed to learn Intuit does not offer a version of TurboTax Business for the Mac. Luckily my PC is still functional, so I was able to file for 2024. But I'm now worried about next year.

I filed an S-Corp extension. When I tried to do the final return, it would not let me send it electronically, it kept telling me it had already been filed in March. I ended up mailing the return. For what you pay for the software, this should not happen!

I purchased TurboTax Business - Desktop specifically because I needed to file a trust tax return (Form 1041). One of the reporting forms I received was a 1099-OID. I spent hours on the phone with various support agents, both product and tax specialist, trying to figure out where entries for a 1099-OID can be made. The conclusion after six separate conversations is that I couldn't make those entries under a trust Form 1041 filing. I cannot be the only person who ever had taxable amounts on a 1099-OID for a trust. Additionally, even though I specified early on that I was filing for a trust, there were business-related questions that did not apply and I did not know how to answer. I realize this is a desktop product that is supposedly going to be moved (about 5 years too late, in my IT professional opinion) to an online product like TT for personal taxes, but the product is clunky and slow at times.

Normally I give Turbo Tax (TT) 5 stars. I've been using it for years, and it's always been accurate and easy to use. This year there were a couple hiccoughs: - the questionnaire didn't ask how to apply my overpayment, and the program defaulted to "refund"; this required a call to TT, and two different people getting involved before we stumbled upon the solution (basically overriding the "refund" and "credit" lines on the PA-41 form) - even though the reviews all said "no problems with your returns", every time I printed the program said there WERE problems with my returns and was I sure I wanted to print?! - after efiling the federal 1041 and printing the PA-41, the program said I was required to print my federal filing instructions one more time. Weird ... why?

I have been using TurboTax for my personal taxes since its inception in the 1980s, as well as for my corporation since it was founded. Each year, my experience remains the same: I can complete my taxes quickly and efficiently, without any issues or obstacles. TurboTax is an excellent investment because it identifies all my eligible deductions and saves me a significant amount of time. Most importantly, I can trust that my taxes are completed accurately.

Overall, Turbotax Business was helpful in preparing taxes for a multi-member LLC in a rental real estate business.. It was helpful in guiding through the various topics, preparing forms, and adding a sanity check to the overall tax preparation. There were two scenarios that didn't seem to be well supported by the user interface in step-by-step mode and required me to dig into forms mode and perform multiple overrides. This also meant that I needed to know the answer and had to figure out how to get the software to the right answer on the forms. The two scenario's were: 1) non-deductible meal expenses for rental real estate, and 2) gift transfer of LLC interests between members. The issues mainly showed up on the reconciliation schedules (L, M-1, and M-2). As a summary statement, there seemed to be more of a disconnect between the step-by-step user interface and getting information into the correct spot on the forms than I have experienced with the Turbotax Individual product set.

I have a German computer and was unable to correctly enter the partnership percentages. It would not take any format, copy and paste, etc. The only solution was to send the file to another US computer, correct these entries and send back to my computer. I do not understand why there is nothing I can do to make the percentages of ownership correct.

Works great, however it will not work with older versions of Quickbooks Pro. I used to use H&R Block tax software for my business and because of the frusteration of trying to get it to import from Quickbooks Pro, I switched to Turbotax Business, It worked great. However, this year it would not import form my Quickbooks Pro because my "version" is too old, even though I pay the subscription on Quickbooks Pro to keep it up to date. Its a Money racket!!!!!!!
