I have a VERY simple trust in which all income flows to my personal return on a K1, and the income stream is very simple. It would be nice not to have to pay $140 every year for the return to be completed. Otherwise, the program works well for my situation.

I am a tax attorney working for a big 5 accounting firm, and this software really needs a lot of work. It needed work last year and needs more work this year. I am filing a trust as an estate under Sec. 645 and it is prompting me to make estimated tax payments to the Commonwealth of Virginia. It still doesn't prompt for a 645 election. One really has to know what he or she is doing to use this software

Need a better way to import assets instead of just one at a time. Bugs. M2 Distributions use last years values, not the newly imported data. Every year 1120 3-4 balance sheet is messed up in 10a and 10b when adding in section 179. Also intangible assets include in my liabilities. Line 13c.

Several times numbers from previous year's return didn't come through. There were also cases where last year's selections weren't showing, so you have to re-look things up (Form B2, etc.) The whole bit with form 8453-PE and the physical signing - good grief! President Bill Clinton made it so e-mail was a valid signature! AND...I still can't e-file with CO. I feel like, for the grand price you are asking for this product, it's not doing very much for me. Looking into other options. At least I didn't have to fight the activation this year, so something got fixed - thanks.

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".

It does the job for a trust filing, not as sophisticated as the personal version that can download bank / brokerage statements. But it only run on PC (not on MAC), and also it does not have an online version. And for CA state filing, many fields need to be manually entered without interview.

NOT USER FRIENDLY! Very confusing and you are left to figure out forms and information on your own. It adds forms you DO NOT NEED! I had to google how to delete the form. Import from QuickBooks does not work (did not work last year either). I will not be using Turbo Tax for my S-Corp ever again. HR Block software is MUCH EASIER!

I encountered an error when doing my state taxes. I spent four plus hours on the phone with the support personnel to rectify the issue. The solution was a creative one the second customer service rep devised, while legal is skirted the bounds. I was disappointed to have paid the sum of money I did for the Intuit tax product only to spend four hours plus on the phone with a technical rep to resolve a programming issue.

So I've been using TT Business since 2013 and it works pretty well. It's easy enough and fast, if you have your paperwork organized. A nice new feature is being able to electronically sign the filing form. The quirk that I discovered, is that when I attached a blank form by mistake, it will not allow you to go back and remove it. As you move through the e-file process, it will ask if you want to edit the attachments and say if you want to delete it click the yes button. That just takes you back to to find the form and attach it window. I ended up having to attach a couple of copies of the same form. You should be able to remove a form either from the Tools menu or Attachment window.

Sure beats paper. Leaves quite a bit to the expertise of the user. Bug: Form 1065 L Ending Balance (to Schedule L, column c, line 9b) does not transfer correctly. I had to exit and re-enter the program and check and uncheck the Yes box a few times before it transferred. Also, it takes a bit of searching to learn about and find the box that must be checked for the current year's depreciation to show up on Form 1065 L.
