It doesn't follow the tax forms from the IRS on Schedule C. Doesn't make a lot of questions clear. Not for the first timer if you own a business. I do like the way it checks for problems or errors. I would give it a 7.5 of a 10 scale.
I use(d) this product for filing C Corp and LLC returns as well as personal returns. Although the personal version is acceptable, the business return software has no capacity to go "back" to a previous area, is missing countless links to show where fields get their data from and does not allow a user to file a Superseded LLC electronically, despite the IRS allowing this. The navigation format of the business and the personal software is different, so moving from one to the other is a learning curve.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
Doing the return for a simple trust is a struggle with this software. Interview format is largely absent; mostly have to open and fill out forms manually. Some of it is quite cryptic and guidance would be helpful. Only thing it has going for it is price.
I continue to have down load issues with the software. Business requires Windows 10 while Personal still works on Windows 7. My tax returns from prior years are all on Windows 7 and I'm having an issue with opening past returns into the current year. Also, I attempted to efile & and the IRS rejected the return. Enough is enough, I mailed the return.
Historically great but installation issues in 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
In previous years this software has always been great. However, I could not get the 2020 Business software to install without giving errors and so I had to buy a different product for the business tax returns. The software for personal taxes was great.
