TT did not ask me about apportioning state income. I manually opened Schedule R and manually filled in all fields. Then I was not able to efile unless I removed the entries on Schedule R, so I had to print 53 pages and make an unnecessary trip to the post office.

Software was easy to use. However, i kept getting error 2 upon e-filing submission. After spending hours and hours trying to resolve the issue and checking online. It ended up been the size of the attachment. Which the error code displayed does not give me a clue of that being the issue. Otherwise, it would have been a great experience.

Great Solution for S Corporation filing with Turbotax Business. It was hard for me to locate and download the software. I had to use a 3rd party and it was not my preference. The software is fairly easy to use but there could be more explanation on different subjects for people that are not as familiar with tax code. I had to use a lot of outside resources to understand what choices to make and what entries to make in preparing my taxes.

Generally, does a decent job, however the NC state return has a bug that you CANNOT get around. In NC, if you have a partner that lives outside the state, it seems to think you need to fill out the apportionment section of the form, even if all business was in NC. It automatically fills in the special apportionment formulas field with a 0. Once that field in the worksheet has a number (even a zero), it insists that you MUST fill out the apportionment section. Even after selecting No to this option, you cannot clear the field (it will put the zero back in), so you end up in a loop. It was the only issue, so I saved the return and modified the page in a pdf editor, then printed it since in NC you have to mail it. Never did get it fixed.

The only thing I would suggest is a tighter cross-over from federal to state tax numbers. I bought the Pa. state package and had to autofill my income into the state form. I recognize state and federal tax law differences can make this difficult so If autofill is impossible from federal then walk us through a PA exclusive interview. Don't let it to me to figure out. That's a little scary.

Not enough explanation of forms, no running total of taxes owed. I had to search in the support forum for too many topics, and those results were not curated so I couldn't assess whether the answers were correct or not - is a 5 year-old answer still reliable? I have no idea!

I am an experienced tax preparer who has been using turbo tax business for a long time. The product was easy to use, but I found the purchase so cumbersome that I ended up purchasing the federal version twice and I still cannot figure out how to get reimbursed for the second purchase. The product is too much of a black box and it is difficult to check for errors. You have to start all over again to check for input errors.

First year LLC I augmented your software with Chat GPT and to be honest I found the AI much easier to work with on specific questions. It was like having a tax accountant next to you helping with the filing. you might want to add this to the software especially for a small LLC paying $190 federal plus $55 state when I could just use the forms and AI and save these costs.

Turbotax has been great for us for many years. It allows you to work through and better understand the forms and how they work. It helps to ensure accuracy, and allows you to easily port year over year information. You can upload directly from QuickBooks as well.

Turbo Tax-- took me over an hour to download to my desktop after I already paid with assistance from customer support. It seems you can't switch to the app if you've been using the desktop version previously (you can but you need to hand enter all the information again). I'll guessing they will stop supporting desktop versions soon and I'll need to do this eventually. Once I was in the guided walk through is nowhere near as helpful for small business as it is for personal filing. I am doubting my accuracy and hoping forth best. Feeling pressured to keep using Turbo tax because there are not lot of other options especially if you Quickbooks as well. FYI Audit support is moneymaking scam, I didn't buy it this time but have used it in the past and still needed to hire my own independent accountant to represent me on a simple matter since the Quickbooks audit support person was very qualified. I ad to pay to have the mess they made cleaned up.
