Instructions for filing state taxes not included this year. The state of Arkansas does not accept e-file for certain entities and they must be mailed. Every year the TurboTax software has included specific instructions for filing the state returns. I paid $55 for each entity and am left figuring out how to file the state for myself. Not good.

the product has served me well over the years. What would be beneficial is to lift the restriction on the number returns that can be electronically filed. The up scale version is too expensive for the number of served at $2,000. You need to have a version that is some where in the middle.

Easy filing process for small business. TurboTax provided guidance along the way, and gave explanations for what is required with applicable examples. The review process helped to ensure accuracy and better understanding of auto-calculated values like depreciated assets. Was it fun and fast? Well, it was faster than a hard copy and cheaper than a tax adviser. Talk to Congress about 'fun'.

This was my first time using TurboTax Business to submit taxes for a trust. My biggest issue is that I was surprised that there was no user interface or instructions within the product to support entry of a 1099-R. Even if the IRS has different requirements for handling 1099-Rs, to help your users, TurboTax should provide a user friendly way to enter the 1099-R information, and then handle the information to meet the IRS requirements. Instead, the users are left to search through the messages of other users, and read IRS and State instructions. Additionally, I wanted taxes to be paid by the trust, not the beneficiaries. Even after searching and reading through input from other users, the only way I could figure to do this was to say that I did not make any distributions in 2024 (so the trust paid the taxes). The trust will have very little income in 2025, so I'll report the distributions and generate K-1s next year. Hopefully, this won't get me in trouble. On the positive side, this was certainly easier than filling out all of the forms manually.

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.

I engaged with Jackelyn, and she was very helpful. Once we figured out what we were doing, we were well on our way to getting things back on track. Once we stopped talking over each other we were fine. I think my biggest problem is that once it tells you where to find it, it would be most helpful to refer to that form and not a different form. example look at form 1120 line 23, I didn't use form 1120, I used form 1120-H.

How do you file your state business taxes? Turbo Tax said "can't e-file state taxes" So how do I file my state business taxes? No explanation. I paid $55 to get state forms but I filed only my federal taxes but what about state?? Very confusing!!!! Why the heck did I have to buy state income tax forms and I can't even file them. If I can't file them using Turbo Tax then I should be refunded the money I spent on state documents. By the way, I am filing taxes for New Mexico. So....... what the heck?

I have been using TurboTax for 20+ years and have been happy. But then there was this year - I installed TurboTax on my laptop and is was working, until the day that it wasn't and I got an error code that made no sense to me or to Google. But, I tried installing it on one of my old desktop computers, and it worked! So my advice, if TurboTax is working on your machine today, finish your taxes and file because it might not load tomorrow.

Most of the process was good and clear. But when i ran into error messages relative to the K-1 developed documents for the LLC partners - the recommended actions were not clear or detailed enough to get me going in the right direction. I had to request support to understand what was needed to correct the errors.

I used TurboTax business to prepare Form 1041 for a trust. The return was relatively simple, with one Form 1099 from a broker with whom marketable equities and ETFs were held and traded. TurboTax created multiple problems that took hours to resolve, including failing to properly enter or allow to be entered multiple foreign taxes paid on Form 1116, failing to recognize that foreign tax payment credits for amounts under $300 do not even need a Form 1116, failing to include Form 8995-A even though Qualified Business Income was recorded off a 1099-DIV, failure to allow upward adjustments to cost bases and failure to provide proper treatment for such commonplace things as credit adjustments from brokers and payments in lieu of dividends from brokers (which should be included in investment income, but are not). Also the terminology used in worksheets and on the form confuses or uses inconsistently such terms as total income, taxable income and adjusted gross income (which may also be an IRS problem). It would probably have been easier to fill out Form 1041 and relevant schedules by hand.
