Can't even complete my K-1's January 31, 2012
Access Method:Box| Platform for Display:PC|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really wish there was a decent alternative solution for doing multi-proprietor LLC tax filing and K-1 creation to TurboTax because this year I feel like I just wasted over $100 of my LLC's money on this junk software and will probably have to end up either filing by hand or handing off to a tax preparer to do.

The biggest issue is how utterly "glitchy" TurboTax feels this year. Last year's version was smooth enough (not the best experience in the world, but decent enough), but this year I can't even complete my K-1's to distribute to the LLC owners because the application continually hard crashes when filling out the business's information. We're not even talking about getting to the meat of the filing process--this is happening at the very beginning of the process. What adds to this frustration is that Intuit makes getting support difficult. I had to resort to using Twitter to attempt to get any type of help and they still haven't been very responsive or even touched upon the issue encountered.

I realize that the Business version of TurboTax is used by many, many fewer individuals than their other versions, but this doesn't speak well for their entire product line. I had switched from H&R Block's software to TurboTax last year so that I had a uniform experience when doing my business tax filing and personal tax filing, but I may go back to H&R Block for my personal taxes based upon my experience with the Business product.

It's quite baffling to me that Intuit can drop the ball so hard and let their products be so bug-ridden. It's not like they're creating a brand new product. They have an established product and just need to update it each year with the appropriate tax rules and maybe add a feature or two to make it look like they're not getting lazy, but they can't even make a usable product. I wish there was some way I could get get my money back since I most likely won't be able to file my taxes using this piece of garbage and will have to shell out more money to have it done elsewhere.

TurboTax Business 2011 (retail) is not complete and not useable. TurboTax update says that the forms needed from the IRS will be ready some time in mid February. The IRS gov site has all the forms in PDF fill-in for download.
TurboTax really messed up on this one.

So I am currently on the phone for the second day in a row - 2 hours yesterday (lady was very nice and helpful) problem was escalated to be fixed. For those that do payroll, you should understand. I was working on the W-2s for my 2 employees. The amount of medicare and social security withheld was different from the calculated amount - this is from rounding differences as they are added up through the year. TurboTax is well aware of this and has a checkbox so that you can overwrite the calculated values to correctly enter what was withheld and not get errors - and this is what I want to do because I want to report to the IRS what was withheld. However, the checkbox does not work to allow overwrite of the social security amount. So yesterday, they escalated the problem. However, today I get a phone call to just change the W-2 to match the calculated amount! That is unacceptable - you must report to the IRS exactly what was withheld. Furthermore, their program does acknowledge this and is suppose to allow it (hence the checkbox), but it does not work for the social security amount withheld!

This has to be fixed - I know I will not be the only one with this issue. I am sure it will be, but getting them to understand the issue appears to be the main issue now!

UPDATE : This has been fixed and everything is working fine now.
