When it comes to retrieving information already stored on your computer, the import options make it a snap to access the data you need. Take advantage of the QuickBoosk import function to import your QuickBooks data directly into the Business 2006.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another year of bugs and horrible support, February 19, 2007

Shame on me for buying this each year. For the third year in a row it has bugs and the support this year is just as bad as the previous ones. My Illinois State return, which I bought online through the federal product, keeps generating late payment charges on my return, despite the fact that taxes aren't due for another month. The wait time to speak to a foreigner on the phone is 60 minutes, and the email support is ludicrous because the people answering the emails take longer than the phone hold queue to respond, and come back with nonsense.

Have used this program for several years for my small 1120S corporation. I find it easy and fast to use. It walks you through your return, step by step. Why pay an accountant -- they require you to give them all your figures -- if you have the data, just enter it into this program and your taxes are done. Importing of your data from last years return is a big help -- especially when figuring depreciation. E-filing is available as well as representation for you if the IRS questions your return -- both are at a small extra charge. If you're smart enough to run a small business, you're certainly smart enough to use this program.

2.0 out of 5 stars Has Bugs, January 30, 2007

This review is from: 2006 TurboTax Business Corporations and Partnerships [OLDER VERSION] (CD-ROM)

My husband is the tax guy in our family. We used turbo tax in previous years as well as Quicken. For the last five days he has been trying to get the tax information into the program to run a proof on the taxes owed, etc. He has a business, and I am a realtor so we have a lot of home deductions, and small business expenses. He gets to the bottom line, and realizes the program never asked him, during the interview portion, for home office expense, car expense, and several other items that he claimed last year on the tax return. He had to manually go back and enter the items, then the program froze. He had saved it "early and often", but when he reopened the program, it didn't have any of the saved information! He is such a hard head, he did it again... and again... and that same scenerio keeps happening. It is a dog...
