It was too complicated for a simple tax return. First the software wasn't able to transfer the data from QB accounting software to Intuit Turbo Tax. Second, when I finished filing taxes, Turbo Tax didn't tell me clear instructions of what to do with the state return. I had to go back and figure out what to print!
It produced the correct 1120S, after which I checked a couple of things, and efiled. It did NOT have be sign and scan the 8453, but allowed me to file. After filing, and after IRS accepted, I noticed that THE non-dividend distributions were NOT THERE in the filed form. Two crazy things: not having me sign 8453 but allowing me to fine, and missing the distributions. I went back and forth and found the distributions magically reappeared. I then tried to file the amended electronically, only to find that it does NOT allow me to. GOOGLE AI says this is frustration by the community. I decided to print and mail which was recommended. It said that the address and forms to mail will be printed. NO address is printed, and the efile forms are printed along with the 8453. Now, I have to remove it, google for the correct address to send this by post, and mail it tomorrow. The software cannot producing 2 different results (missing and not missing the distribution) like this within 20 min. with me doing nothing different except click a tab to see if everything was as it was to be. It should allow me to efile amended. If not, at least it should print proper address to mail to. Not acceptable.
