I have been using Turbo Taxes for more than two decades and so far this year has been the worst experience I have ever had. I am not sure if it is because Turbo Tax changed to download only (I used to purchase CD) and the download and transmittal of returns had absolutely no issues at all. This year there had been numerous error messages and I needed to diagnose the problems myself or I would not be able to continue.
This was the first time using the Business version of the app, though I've used TurboTax for over 30 years to prepare personal tax returns. I am the administrator of an estate and needed the product to file federal and Virginia state returns.
For the most part, the Business version is as easy to use as the personal but I found the embedded Help for various sections of the 1041 and its schedules to be less help than I required. Several times I needed to do internet searches to answer my questions about what particular figures needed to be reported and how it would be used.
However, I found that TurboTax did an excellent job of using my inputs to complete all the necessary forms and it made it very easy to file the federal and state returns electronically.
