I hoped it would be easier than typing into the forms manually. It is marginally easier, but there's not nearly as much support as I expected. There are so many places where I was asked "do you need to attach form XXX?" or "are you going to take this credit?" with minimal context provided. I mean - if I already know what all the forms and credits are and which ones apply to me, why wouldn't I just save the money and fill out the forms by hand? Also - there's an ERROR in the NC state form that causes the returns to fail review every time, and it's not correctable by the user. Based on the online discussions, the error has been there since at least the 2024 version. So happy I paid extra for the state form so that it could fail review every time, making it impossible for me to know if there were actually any legitimate concerns with the final return. Actually, after writing this, I feel like 2 stars might be overly generous. Very disappointing.

While I wish this desktop business software was available on a Mac system as we have to use a production room PC to complete this annually, that is the only downside. The software is perfect for our business needs, it's easy to use, it walks us through the process and has helpful tips and links to explain things that might not make immediate sense. Overall, very happy with this product and will continue to use.

Business edition for federal is still buggy, and state programs are even worse. For 2025 tax year: * Insists I enter farm income even though I don't have a farm * Salary and wages import from prior year is incorrect (only shows office comp) * Maryland interview defaults to form 510 and doesn't provide the option to file 511, so you have to know to go into forms mode and switch forms there * Maryland form says direct debit should only be checked for electronic filing, but the only option for 502-PTET is electronic filing * And so on

Overall, I love TurboTax. The system really makes completing a return a simple process. The one problem I encountered is more fully described below. One other issue is that as I began to print my returns, I was told that the return contained an error; however, when I went to complete the return, the error message disappeared. So, I don't really know if I have an error or not. In reviewing the returns, I don't see anything obvious.

TurboTax has a very helpful interface. I like to start with Step-By-Step and walk through the natural progression of addressing each piece of the business. It feels very thorough and brings a lot of details to my attention. I also like being able to see th actual forms and worksheets whenever I want. All told, I feel like my return is correct and at the end, I am confident when filing. And, BTW, I don't like taxes. But this really helps!

Form 1041 Trust does not generate a Schedule F or any Forms required for Schedule F in easy answer or the form drop down menu. Schedule F, Form 4562 Depreciation and Asset Entry are only available under View, Forms, Schedule F. Then corrections have to be made from the previous year form.

There was no way to attach my 990-B forms to the federal return. That required me to mail the returns in to the government which cost additional time and money on my part vs. e-filing. This funciton MUST be fixed or i will not use th product again in 2026.

I've been doing my personal taxes with TurboTax for 20 plus years and have had no issues at all. Since 2018 I have been using Turbo Tax Business to handle Trust returns and I find this product to be far less efficient. Why won't you upgrade the software to allow for import of brokerage documents, or at least the ability to upload brokerage documents? From online comments that I have seen it appears that this capability has been there in the past. When addressing the income sections the software actually states that later in the return you will be instructed to upload 1099-B to avoid having to manually enter multiple transactions. That's clear false advertising! I bought the software at a premium specifically because it had the e-filing capability. Now I still have to print 50 pages and then go to the post office and get charged for mailing and then charged extra for ensuring delivery. In this case, you guys have rendered e-filing for this product absolutely useless. I'm very disappointed and may look elsewhere for software next year.

TurboTax charging $143 for this level of service is ridiculous. Business tax filing is already stressful, and the software made it worse by being unclear, confusing, and poorly explained at several key steps. Instead of giving users confidence during an important financial task, it created frustration and uncertainty. What makes it even more embarrassing is that ChatGPT provided clearer and more useful guidance than a paid tax platform. For $143, users should expect clear instructions, reliable support, and a product that actually helps them file correctly. That is not what we got. In an era where AI support is everywhere, it is hard to understand why TurboTax does not offer intelligent, step-by-step help built into the process. That alone could have prevented a lot of confusion. The worst part was the actual filing experience. Even though our business has two shareholders, the forms only showed one, which caused errors and turned the entire process into a mess. After spending two hours trying to fix it, we had no choice but to start over from scratch. It was a nightmare. Overall, this was a deeply frustrating and disappointing experience. For the price TurboTax charges, users deserve a product that works smoothly and supports them properly, not one that creates more problems than it solves.

Turbotax is very accurate, but sometimes the questions asked are impenetrable. One form, an explanatory statement for form 1116 continued to reappear after I deleted it multiple times. Turbotax cannot handle fiduciary returns for South Carolina (form 1041). Addresses, bank accounts, etc. have to be reentered even though I use them on multiple returns (like on trust funds for multiple children). Several times when trying to review my return, I was sent back to the same old imput screens even when all I wanted to do was see and/or check prior entries. It is hard to run base case and excursions to better understand the implications of decisions. I am not convinced that Turbotax considers all of my options, especially when considering implications across years. It would be very helpful to have a numerical flow diagram that tracks imputs to outputs. In my tax planning for next year I am balancing income of various voluntary types (federal and muni bonds, capital gains, salary and deferred salary, benefits, and retirement distributions) against college tuition credits, Roth conversions, RMDs, foreign tax carryovers, capital gains and loss carryovers, etc.
