1. Absolutely *insane* that you cannot import transactions from QuickBooks Online, when you've forced people away from QB Desktop versions. You're the same company! Make it integrated! People have been commenting on this issue for YEARS and your product team refuses to fix it?? Starting to think you purposefully make the software hard to use so that people will be upsold to hiring your live agents to help. 2. Not Mac friendly?? That's really not hard to do. Unacceptable. 3. Overall just a poorly designed product. Not intuitive, feels like it hasn't been updated in a decade. Information is hard to find and/or incomplete. Definitely going to switch to another provider next year.

TT is likely the best program out there but it is far from a total solution for business taxes. If you're not familiar with tax filings and have questions regarding which forms are required for your business, seek professional advice. TT regularly overlooks forms required for my business filing. It constantly updates but seems to never be quite up-to-date with the latest requirements. If you have any special circumstances, seek professional advice - not advice from TT.

Mostly works fine, except every year the changes are not seamless, and I always have to enter the partner percentages which is always in a different spot. It would be nice if there was just a question about partner percentages as I answer the other common guided questions.

Hardest part is navigating the Website to buy TT Business! My Trust is a very simple one, and the TT Business software kept it simple. A couple of terms might have had a pop-up definition, e.g., a trust's distributable "income" which appears to exclude capital gains distributions. Cap gains distributions would be considered "income" on an individual return. And something odd happened when I tried to back out of the underpayment penalty questions: the calculated penalty changed even though I backed out. Fortunately the amount was very small. Finally, there might have been a bit more guidance about choosing Estimated Tax options: which option provides a "safe harbor" against underpayment penalties? These are minor issues: the software (at least the parts I had to deal with for my return) is well designed and easy to use.

There were two errors in the software: Schedule G.Line 1 under "Other Information" for the question "Did the estate receive tax-exempt income" was answered Yes, with a contradictory amount of $ 0. There was no tax-exempt income recoreded. The Yes answer could not be manually changed to No. On the 1099-INT Worksheet, I would get an error message (when checking for errors during the final review) that said the Market Discount (Box 10) could not be zero or less than zero. My 1099-INT shows zero for any Market Discount. In order to be able to file electronically, I had to change this to $1.

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.

I believe the business version of your product leaves much to be desired. There is no way to add attachments to support the return when e-filing. "Tricks" have to be used to try to attach it to the scanned upload of the electronic signature filing form. I have had to file by mail for lack of confidence that these "tricks" actually work. The product also has bugs - does not allow printing of the forms when at the end and it only gives a preview with no print or save option. Also, the "preview" and "print forms" are switched. They do NOT perform the function that they say they do. The product is plenty expensive when compared to the individual version and this product should be improved. I have been using Turbo-Tax for over 25 years and this is the worst version of the product that I have seen. Please put some more quality into this version of your tax tool!

Initial CT filing rejected due to software issue. Got help with TT expert, did a great job! Recommendations: Make it easier to reach a person in your help process. Change wording in your Save box from "Save" to "Save Changes." Keep your US, American English speaking help staff. DO NOT GO OFF SHORE. I have submitted detailed suggestions for changes several times over the years, Never received any acknowledgement, No suggestions were accepted as far as I know.

The 1041-ES tax vouchers print even when you don't want them. If you check Complex Trust in the Information Worksheet there should be a follow-up prompt, " Is the trust required to distribute all income currently." If so, the Exemption is $300, not 100. Currently you have to override the $100 entry with $300. Would like to download the Form 1099 information from the brokerage account rather than have to enter manually.

Excellent for the complexity of a trust. Got a little wonky when I did not want to provide beneficiary information - I should not have to provide it if I made no distributions. I had to provide personally identifiable information regarding the beneficiary - which is none of the state's business if I did not provide funds from the trust to the beneficiary.
