"Filing 1065 for Partnership - TurboTax Business"
4.5/5
What do you like best about TurboTax Business?

It is easy to navigate and understand what different credits/deductions mean. It takes you through all the necessary steps for completing the return and asks questions along the way to see if different areas apply to you. All your answers are transferred to the tax documents. The online forum/community is available to ask questions or find similar questions and answers - this has been very helpful to me in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboTax Business?

That there is not a version for mac computers, only windows. It seems to be the only version of Turbo Tax where this is the case and has been that way for years.

Also, for some areas it is difficult to go back and adjust numbers (say you missed something and wanted to add it). It is easy to go from income to deductions and whatnot, but can take some time to get back to specific areas where numbers were entered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy to use just like the personal edition"
5/5
What do you like best about TurboTax Business?

The onscreen help on each section and ability to search the forum inside the software. Able to amend the tax returns if a mistake is made. Ability to create and file 1099s for contractors with no extra cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboTax Business?

If you are trying to close a partnership trying to make the ownership ratio reflect a partner leaving at the end of the year is actually pretty difficult. Had to manually update the form instead to get the numbers to match. It's great for ongoing business with no partnership changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Software. "
5/5
What do you like best about TurboTax Business?

The easy to use software allows me to access any forms I need and allows me to deal with complex tax issues I encounter not easily worked out in the basic version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboTax Business?

Steep learning curve. While it allows a step-by-step process, if you want to manually input much of the stuff, there is a lot of trial and error to get the correct inputs to maximize deductions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Well if there's anything good about taxes ... "
4/5
What do you like best about TurboTax Business?

I love the ease of use for the online site especially in a time crunch. It integrates well with all the software and accounting programs that I use, even my online invoice program. I'm able to see where I might have missed deductions or the guides let me import in other line items that I may have forgotten. I've been using turbotax for years for both personal and business and really ... since numbers aren't my thing, it makes it pretty easy to file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboTax Business?

Taxes ... can I say that? Overall, i'm pleased with the TurboTax system, even if it is a little pricey. It's affordable yes, but could the price come down a little for small business owners definitely! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy to use from start to finish"
4.5/5
What do you like best about TurboTax Business?

I use Turbo Tax Business for my photography studio taxes and its extremely easy to use. The program walks you through all of the different things you need to submit depending on what type of business you have. The program also checks over everything before you submit the taxes for federal and state. Turbo Tax Business also submits your federal and state taxes for you and you don't have to pay for the filing until you officially submit it.

Occasionally you can get discounts on the actual software from your bank or place of business which is nice.

Even if you forget to print all of the papers out, everything is stored online even if you submit your taxes via paper (I always e-file my taxes) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboTax Business?

About the only thing I could possibly think of would be the cost but I'm quite sure its significantly less that having an actual person do the taxes for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple for business owners"
5/5
What do you like best about TurboTax Business?

The first year I did taxes for our business, I was nervous, but this product is very easy to use and completes your taxes as well as going and paying a tax consultant high dollars to do the same thing. We have been doing our taxes with TurboTax Business for 4 years now and never had a problem. If you are a small business owner, I highly recommend using this.

User-friendly, Very explanatory, and the best bang for your buck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboTax Business?

There are some fees that get added at the end, but you are aware of these before proceeding and they can come out of your refund versus your pocket at the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Saves THOU$AND$ every year vs. paying accountant"

What do you like best about TurboTax Business?

fairly quick data entry

Saves THOU$AND$ every year vs. paying accountant Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboTax Business?

No way to see running tax calc total while entering data. Tax Calc window blocks all other program functions so it has to be constantly opened, closed, re-opened, re-closed... NO EXCUSE FOR THIS

Very difficult to get Intuit to confirm BUGS in software... and harder still to get them to FIX their bugs, even after reporting the same bugs for several YEARS

Schedule M-1 and M-2 balance reconciliation a REAL pain in the A$$. Requires my to contact our CPA every year to create numbers to get past this step.

No way to electronically pay California $800 annual minimum corporate, LLC and partnership tax for current year. CRAZY oversight causing us to use frustrating California Franchise Tax Board electronic payment website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Turbo Tax use for small business"
5/5
What do you like best about TurboTax Business?

Turbo Tax is extremely convenient, affordable, and easy to use. The program guides the lay person through the process of filing taxes and in the end saves me tons of money and hassle of hiring an accountant to do my taxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboTax Business?

As a former user of the Home edition, I do not care for the pricing scale for business products in comparison to the other products offered by Turbo Tax (Intuit). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Turbo Tax Business has everything you need for filing business taxes"
5/5
What do you like best about TurboTax Business?

I like the interview mode that makes sure I don't miss any business deductions I may not normally think of. I feel confident that I have covered all my bases when using TT Business.

I also like that it calculates the depreciation of my equipment for me.

The information provided regarding the latest tax laws and canges Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboTax Business?

The updates for TT are huge and take a long time to download and install. Starting the app up takes a long time as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A lifesaver for consultants"
5/5
What do you like best about TurboTax Business?

My husband does IT consulting on the side and TurboTax makes it so easy to do your business taxes. The step-by-step function makes sure that you don't overlook any possible deductions.

The ability to get live help if you need it is a very nice feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboTax Business?

On some of the questions that you are asked it can be very trying understanding exactly what they are asking. Their help function also needs work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
