Installation was awkward. I was asked to amend sections during the review. I just answered questions. Why did turbo tax fill out sections incorrectly, which I had to correct manually. Every year, I say never again. I'm moving on next year. Cost is not worth it.

I've used TurboTax (and TurboTax Business) for many years. It's generally pretty good about guiding me through and helping to check everything. One area that has always needed improvement is the state filing. There seems to be very little guidance to the state component -- just "make any adjustments if you need to". I'd really like help figuring out "if I need to".

I used Turbo Tax Business, because I needed to file a 1041 & K-1 for a Trust from my deceased mother. I have been using TT premier since the day TT launched, so I'm very familiar with the software. I have found a big flaw in the business program when it comes to filing for a Trust. This trust was created in Florida, where my mother lived. I'm the Trustee and live in Virginia. The program only asks for the address of the Fiduciary, but not the Trust Creation State. The program automatically assumed I needed to file a Fiduciary Virginia state return, however, I know I do not and Florida doesn't require a return, since it is one of 7 no state tax states. The program should have a question as to what state the Trust was created in and then when it came to the State portion, it would prompt for the correct state tax return that needs to be filed, if at all. I knew enough not to file with Virginia. However, what about all the people who do not understand this? Lastly there should be a way to indicate somewhere on the 1041 or one of the attachments as to where the Trust was created. (I over rode the name on the 8453-FE, adding in parenthesis, "created in Florida". Also, I receive a 1099-R from the brokerage as the distribution. This was a pass-through distribution to my niece. So this is income to the Trust and then a distribution from the trust. It took a while to realize I needed to enter this as other income and list it as 1099-R. TT should have a way to enter the 1099-R information (or even upload it, like in the personal programs), so that all the information is properly presented.

Overall a good product, easy to use and fairly straight forward. It is lacking in some regards to clarifying details, such as different terminology used by the different states or between states and the federal government. LLC's vs Corporation and what forms are required. This may also just be a gray area that is caused by states being unclear in their definitions or treatment of differing entities.

Intuit pressured me into upgrading from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online, by increasing the price until it didn't make sense to hang on to the Desktop version. Now, I discover that I can no longer import my company information from QuickBooks Online into TurboTax Business. I have discovered that you have known of this major shortcoming for many years, haven't bothered to resolve it, and don't bother to inform your customers of this. What a disappointment.

I ran into some nasty problems on my 1120S return and 100S return. Some of which caused me problems last year. The lady who helped me was very patient and we worked through the issues until we found what was causing the problems. I feel a lot better about the software as a result.

This is my first time not giving five stars after using Turbo Tax Business for over 25 years. While filling out this years taxes I realized that my 2023 state business taxes did not get e filed along with my federal return. Certainly, I have to take some of the blame for not following up on the filing but now I know I will get penalized and fined for this. Very dissapointed.

Notable issues. It lacks a Mac-compatible version, forcing Mac users to rely on virtualization software or a Windows machine. Additionally, the software struggles with complex tax scenarios, often abruptly redirecting users to IRS forms without adequate guidance. If your business taxes are anything beyond straightforward, or if you use a Mac, consider exploring alternative tax solutions.

The tax form I needed wasn't ready on time which was frustrating. The expert help was excellent once we got through a couple of technical issues with screen sharing. I was able to get a good amount of help with ChatGPT/Claude/Perplexity on nuanced questions when I didn't want to call and wait. I really wish this was integrated with QuickBooks Online.

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'.
