Error messages are confusing. Poor solutions
on September 29, 2020
Posted by: GAJ2019
Turbo Tax was not as easy. Confusing and help tabs were not helpful. Kept getting caught in circles. Please make this easier and CLEAR. Error messages did not lead to solutions. Had to guess at a lot of the answers.

A First Timer's Review of Turbo Tax Business
on September 29, 2020
Posted by: Retired Tax Attorney77
Form 1041 signature date defaults at this time to October 1, 2020. This seems to assume that October 1 is the extended due date for Forms 1041 that have applied for an automatic extension of 5 1/2 months. Unfortunately, Treas. Reg. section 1.6081-6 provides that the extended due date is 5 1/2 months after the original due date of April 15. That date is actually September 30. How many users of Turbo Tax Business will be ONE DAY LATE in filing extended trust returns???
Pros: I bought or sold investments

TurboTax: It needs a decent competitor
on October 1, 2020
Posted by: M__T
Ok,,taxes are not easy. I guess I've been using TurboTax & such for 2 decades, but geez, you'd think they'd have it usable by now. I tried to use one of the other programs something like 5 years ago, but it was a pain too. I *HATE* that I have to get use Windows to use TurboTax Business for some rather straight forward trusts. A whole other computer just for this task; with all the issues that Windows has! That's the biggest pull for me to use a different product. Even more than the extra $100+ to buy the business version. On top of that, the state tax form is $$$ for a big nothing. And, if you have to do something in the state, you have to figure out the raw forms by yourself. This year, in the fed form, one adjustment in the 1099-B calculations didn't calculate properly and I had to override it. Also, in 1099-B, it said "We will tell you how to add your financial institution's 1099-B as an attachment when you file" -- a lie. And, at the time just before submitting the tax form, when it should have told me how to attach 1099-B, it showed a window of "attachmentS" (plural) with only the 8453 attachment and no way to add the 1099-B.. I had to dig around the forums to find out TurboTax only allows one attachment, so you have to manually merge two PDFs and upload the combined PDFs as the allegedly 8453 attachment. OH YEAH, the CA 1041 can't be e-filed. For CA, it called it an error that I said I was filing on 9/30 (rather than by the non-extension date) when calculating underpayment penalty.

I have owned a business for 9 years and have never been confident enough to do them on my own. This software is very very easy and I did it and feel confident that its correct! So much money saved!!!

State Return
on October 2, 2020
Posted by: QQQ LLC
I just got a notice in the mail saying I owe penalties on a state return that I was under the impression that I had filed several months ago. It was my fault that I did not make sure that everything was filed appropriately. However, a better notification that the state return was not filed with the federal would have been helpful.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

simplifies a herculean task

I used to prepare taxes using other software. Ever since I switched to intuit turbo tax 16 years ago, it never crossed my mind to go anywhere else. I am a former CPA and continue to prepare my own taxes as a lawyer.
