I have been using TurboTax for "S" Corp for 8 or 10 years now and once I got Quick Books categories lined up with the tax categories in TurboTax everything fell in place. I no longer had to hire an accountant.
Pretty straightforward for a 2 member LLC. There was confusing wording in some areas like the 1099-NEC entry, but the community forum gave clear answers.
I wish there was a way to see the filled in forms EXACTLY as they will be filed WHILE you are working on them. The forms view is different than the final printed view so you have to go to the end of the step-by-step, save as PDF then view the PDF to see exactly how it will look when filed. Kind of a pain.
Everything went fine through the federal return , but Virginia State was a nightmare regarding getting it to efile. The final stage where errors are discovered does NOT prompt with clarity to help you make the corrections. I was forced to guess. Making various changes allowed me to eventually successfully efile. I spent 4 times as much time this year on my LLC's tax preperation.
well i was on the phone for two days. Yesterday 2/10 I bought Illinois Fiduciary 1041 for my trust. It never downloaded and the guy on the phone said it was cuz the program said purchase 2/11 when I had a receipt of my purchase on 2/10. So then on 2/11 it still would not let me download the IL fiduciary form I was on with the agent for 3 hours. finally they emailed me the form to download. I would really like a refund for all my hassle. $40
