I had a real difficult time with my small S-corp that has both rental real estate and an agricultural business. I couldn't figure out how to trigger multiple K-1's (one for each business line). Having a single K1 with real estate and non-real estate business totals consolidated made it very difficult to load my personal taxes as TT Home wanted to see them split out. In the future I would like to tie my S-corp details to be imported automatically into my personal tax return. My wife file jointly and we are the only owners of the S-crorp so all of it's profit and loss comes to our personal return..

I have used this tool for years and appreciate its capabilities. However, it really needs better, more detailed explanations for what to include in each section. With new family and retirement-related taxes now in place, it’s not always obvious where these payments should be entered. Clearer guidance in the instructions — especially with examples — would make the process faster, easier, and more accurate.

When I logged into my account this year to start business return, the default was Business Live which is a much higher cost product. I just wanted to access/download the same TT Business DIY package I use every year, but there was nowhere to click for it, to find it, purchase it, etc. after logging in. Each year it becomes more and more complicated to find online and purchase the DIY Business download, and it is not clear on the TurboTax website which business version is required for an S Corp filing. Had to actually call TurboTax and spent half hour with tax expert just to find which version I needed to download. Agent said she would send me link directly to it, but never did. Had to call again and it took another agent more than a half hour on the phone and on screen share to figure out how/where to purchase the download online. This is the first year I was so frustrated just GETTING TurboTax that I was seriously considering another tax prep program.

Not super easy to use, but was less expensive than going to an accountant. With a little help, it did what we needed on the Federal side. Wish the download was available on a Mac and also wish you offered the Ohio IT 1041. Somewhat expensive for only using the Trust portion of the software.

I have had the worse experience of my life with turbo tax and intuit after 20 years of using their products. I have spent hours on the phone, spent tons on quickbooks on-line was told if I purchased the more expensive online plus that it would seamlessly transfer into turbo tax, all of it was lies they do not work together and never have, its all useless money spent to aid in preparing a business return

1st using Turbo Tax for Business. Found it to be user friendly with helpful guidance to answering questions and explanations. Learning how to navigate through the various sections was a little unfamiliar to me doing Business for the 1st time, but overall was able to get the filing done for Federal along with the State.

This was my first time doing an estate tax return (my parents very small estate). It was not difficult and what I did not understand , it was fairly easy to find the right answer. My biggest complaint is the cost. This is a very expensive program. It was $171 for Fed and $55 for the state. The personal versions of Turbo tax are a much better deal and they are on "sale" sort of at the beginning of tax season. I wish they had a smaller version for less cost.

Clunky handling of our S-corp taxes; unable to handle owner distributions and balance sheets without editing forms manually. For an expensive, "user-friendly" program, this was unacceptable. Unable to e-file (Colorado) because TurboTax is apparently not an approved vendor. Wowza.

Always a challenge to find where to access CD download. Too many user accounts are created for every different return - should be one user, then options should be presented from which to select. Information overload on the website, except for what you are searching! Like a contact phone #...

After 25 years of getting both my Business and personal taxes done through a professional CPA, I decided to give it a shot myself just for the heck of it and curiosity as many AI tools are available this year to help from co-pilot to Grok to gemini, etc. For a first timer, it took me about 3-4 hours and most of it were spent with Live tax advisors from Turbo tax who were easily reachable and 0 hold time. I definitely couldn't have done it without Turbo tax Live help which is an excellent offering and all the advisor's but 1 was deeply knowledgeable, courteous, had a lot of patience to answer questions and fix issues and made it a great experience. I realized atleast for now, AI can only get you so far but cannot replace humans with years of experience and tax knowledge. A lot of questions on the software are not a 1-1 match to the forms of previous tax returns if one is not used to tax and accounting terminology and that's where the live experts play a big role. As a software professional with a lot of focus on UX, I feel Turbo tax has a lot of opportunity to redesign the desktop software and make it more user friendly. The online version might be better which is more expensive and may have better features like the saying goes what you pay is what you get.
