OK, But The Software Needs Work

I am a tax attorney working for a big 5 accounting firm, and this software really needs a lot of work. It needed work last year and needs more work this year. I am filing a trust as an estate under Sec. 645 and it is prompting me to make estimated tax payments to the Commonwealth of Virginia. It still doesn't prompt for a 645 election. One really has to know what he or she is doing to use this software
I used TurboTax Business to prepare Trust return where I am the Trustee. In general the instructions were good, however, certain sections I was unsure how to proceed and the instructions were not explicit enough. This is the first time I file as a Trustee, so I am rusty. I normally do my individual taxes with TurboTax, and find the instructions there much more explicit.
Easy to use. Bringing the information over from the previous year's return saves a lot of time. Walking through each item, step by step limits the number of mistakes that can be made. I will be purchasing this product next year to do my business taxes.
It's almost like Intuit simply doesn't want me as a customer. To begin with, I us a Desktop copy of QuickBooks Pro 2020. It more than meets all of the requirements of my business. However, QuickBooks discontinued support for that software last year and turned off useful features. This was done for no reason other than forcing people to buy a subscription version of their software. The Desktop version I had was fine. You didn't have to stop supporting the software after just 4 years. It was expensive software and I have not gotten my money's worth out of it. Nnow TurboTax no longer imports information from my version of QuickBooks. I do my personal taxes through H&R Block and maybe I should just start using them for my business taxes too. Like everything else from Intuit, they want everyone to sign on for online and subscription software that is way over priced so they make it very difficult to even find the Desktop Version of TurboTax Business. What exactly is the benefit of Intuit software if my accounting software has been limited after just a few years of use and the tax software will no longer do the one thing that was it's most useful feature when I selected it?
