Rated 4 out of 5 by from Icon change We have both TurboTax Home & Business and TurboTax Business. I wish you would use a different icon so it would be more easily identified.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Improve state product - was lacking Was very disappointed with the state software. Iowa allows E-filing but Turbo would not E-file; had to send in paper copy. Also the preparation of the state return was not very organized by Turbo. Very disappointed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from I hate using Tubotax So many issues, make it so difficult! I do not like that you get to the end and find errors. The system does not make it easy for you to fix them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Turbo Tax is good I am a Trustee for a small trust set up 30 years ago by my parents. It's not big enough to hire a CPA to prepare the tax returns so I use Turbo Tax Business to prepare them. It works well although some things are confusing.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Turbo Tax makes it difficult. I input the number right from my Quickbooks profit/loss report. Then Turbo tax tells me I made $42,000. But according to Quickbooks, I lost $17,000. No explanation for the discrepancy. I figure it has some different definition. So after several hours and an Excell spreadsheet to verify that the input matches QB, I just give up and check the box that it is the same. Then it says there is a discrepancy. I already checked all my numbers. How is there a discrepancy? Turbo tax did all the calculations. It might have been easier to do by hand.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Trust Version-not up to snuff The Trust software did not seem to populate the Form 1116 properly. Three situations where foreign tax paid became 4 columns. Wish they would expand the descriptions. I can't even get the state since not available in software.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Turbo Tax Business Trust Return I had to purchase Turbo Tax Business to file trust returns for my children's trusts. I have never done this before, but I found it pretty easy to use. My only complaint is the tool doesn't allow you to attached the 1099-B detailed transactions when you only enter summary numbers. It says it will, but then never does.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from NYS IT 205 Filed one Trust with one state. Federal return electronically filed by end of February had to wait for NYS to ok the processing of the IT 205-C. The program is expensive for my needs especially since the state also needs to be purchased separately. Turbo Tax in general takes too long to process the returns. The error messages are frustrating. Basically the return had 4 numbers to input and should have gone through processing. Indicate with error message that NY tax department and Turbo Tax are fixing the problem. This was inferred after various attempts were made to fix the problem.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from TurboTax Busiess (the one for Form 1120 filings) Your TurboTax program for corporate returns continues to be absolutely terrible. First you were exceedingly late getting the Iowa state return out for use. Then it was clear that your default thinking as you have done for years, was to just have a cue asking if there is anything else that is needed. If the user says "no" you race ahead to the worst tax return result any company like you can visit upon a user. The user has to have intimate knowledge of the nuances of corporate tax returns and the law involved to go back, select forms you otherwise skip in your step-by-step to get the correct tax due. An example is the Form 3800. After using your product for a few years now and suffering through your failings, I cannot imagine that there is any corporate income tax program out there that is worse than TurboTax.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Federal is great but state needs a few fixes Biggest glitch is that there are not enough spaces in the state return for a trust with a long name. TT treats this as an "error" and will not allow e-filing even though it says I am required to e-file. There are other small issues with state returns as well that leave the impression overall that the software is not tested as thoroughly.
