Sufficient, but expensive
on April 8, 2018
Posted by: CollieDad23x2
I have been using this software for several years now to prepare the federal tax return and grantor statements for my grandmother's Trust. The software is simple to use, but its the most expensive option Turbo Tax offers because its incorporated in with the other business return software. It seems that since a Trust is treated as a person, the Trust option would be available as a stand alone or an option to Deluxe or Premier.
What's great about it: Easy entry, quick calculation
What's not so great: Expensive software for simple grantor trust tax returns

Very Helpful - But Apple/Mac Version Needed
on April 8, 2018
Posted by: PennName
I have used the Business software for several years now and every year I get disappointed that there isn't an Apple/Mac version of this software. Are there no other business owners who use a Mac (of course I know this isn't true). I very much dislike having to fire up my PC once a year to file my taxes and play games bouncing between computers to email and complete sections. Much like the Quicken software which took way too many years to get a legitimate Mac version, I suspect users will be waiting a long time here as well. Outside of that, the software is very helpful in doing my taxes, but my PC is on it's last legs and I don't want to purchase another new PC next year simply to do my taxes. Every other pieces of software works on my Mac - this is the last hang out. If it weren't for that, I'd rate this 5 stars.
What's great about it: Very helpful walking you through the steps of a business return
What's not so great: No Mac or Online Version makes it inconvenient

Form 1041DIY with ease, confidence
on April 9, 2018
Posted by: Mark976
A turbotax solution saved me in professional fees and expenses for this fairly simple Estate. It made being an executor, that much easier.
What's great about it: Turbo tax walks you through a complex filing so throughly
What's not so great: I had two form 8949 and had to combine them to file electronically.--would have been nice if it would have combined them

Business Taxes- DONE!
on April 9, 2018
Posted by: LuxeEvent
Doing my business taxes on my own is something I never thought I would do, but I had a copy of last years in hand and TurboTax's guided software I feel good about my decision.
I did purchase audit defense since this is my first time filing for the business on my own.
I also saved a lot of money but most of all this experience helped me to understand my tax situation a lot better.
What's great about it: Guided business tax return
What's not so great: No live CPA to review business returns.

Proven Product for LLC Taxes
on April 9, 2018
Posted by: titan4taxes
Premier and Business Versions Need to Be Offered as a Bundle at a Lower Price. Alternatively, these products should be consolidated into a single product designed for users who have rental properties (or that trade in securities) and that are operating as an LLC.
What's great about it: Ease of use
What's not so great: High Cost due to need to purchase multiple products

taxes rejected despite two updates installed
on April 10, 2018
Posted by: m1203
Efiling trust taxes with Turbotax Business worked but taxes were rejected from Federal and state- I found out how to report this online (it was an known problem with software) and was very impressed. I got notified by Turbotax of an update and instructions on how to install it. Updated and tried to efile again. Again taxes were rejected. Got another email saying the first fix didn't work and to watch for another update. Next update went through, I installed it, tried to efile again and it said I needed to install an update before I could efile. I have checked and installed all updates but am now stuck in a loop where it won't let me do anything since Turbotax thinks I haven't installed the update. I finally printed the taxes and are mailing them in.
