### "Cheaper than an Accountant!"

June 17, 2019

5.0

We've only used it this year, and so far, I love it. It was super easy to link up Quickbooks and all our employee info. Very intuitive filling out the tax forms as well.

Pros

I love that it syncs with our Payroll, that is why we switched from TaxAct is because TurboTax syncs directly with our Intuit Quickbooks.

Cons

It's more expensive than TaxAct, and the customer service takes forever to get an actual agent on the phone.

### "TurboTax Business disappoints."

February 11, 2026

1.0

Time consuming to reach the appropriate support (multiple transfers for each discussion. Often ending in a disconnect between the second and third support specialist). Poorly designed user interface with limited functionality. Nothing like my experience with TurboTax on my individual tax return. I chose TurboTax Business because I thought it too would be user friendly, functional and well supported. I found that none of those assumptions was correct.

Pros

Cost? Maybe it would be useful if your tax situation was more simple than any business that I am involved in.

Cons

Support routinely drops calls between second and third transfer. No direct line for TurboTax Business so first stop is someone to validate you, second stop is first level support, who is unable to answer questions such as, where is cost basis entered, how do I enter foreign tax as an investment expense. The tool appears to have been built in 1989. No ability to import information from a brokerage account. Even worse. There is no ability to enter a 1099 (a 1099 has simple numbered boxes, but TurboTax business does not, nor do they use the same or even similar terms and as I found out after a 2 hour call there simply is no way to enter foreign tax expenses into TurboTax business for a partnership). The above is for an investment pool for my elderly parents structured as a Partnership, so it will be able to receive a stepup basis when they pass away so that they can seamlessly transfer assets to their grandchildren. I say this to point out that a lack of 1099 support for Partnerships is likely impacting a significant number of users. Finally. This entity started as a LLC type S, when attempting to convert to an LLC Partnership it was found that the entire business needed to be reentered. I understand that many of the forms for Type S and Partnership are different, but the preamble is not (company name, address. EIN, partner names, SSNs, addresses - this rework took about 2 hours). Last but not least, I took over the process of filing an 1120s from my accountant this year. Completed and filed my 1120s, upon reviewing my K-1 I found that I had no basis from 2024, which shouldn't be surprising since I didn't enter it, but what was frustrating was 1) it ended up being very difficult to find where to enter it 2) it is not acceptable that one needs to hunt thru the forms to enter it (there is no question asking for instance, do you have a basis from previous years to enter).

### "As Great for Business as for Personal"

June 18, 2025

5.0

I have loved using TurboTax. I have used it for my personal taxes for years and now use it for my businesses. Turbo Tax will ask you questions and input the information directly onto the forms so you don't have to worry about the legalese or try to decipher what is being asked.

Pros

TurboTax is incredibly user friendly. They use very common jargon so you do not need to be a tax pro in order to answer their questions which search for the next deductions possible for your siutation

Cons

It can be a bit pricey and if you do business in multiple states you will pay to file for every state you have worked in.

### "Best for Small Business Organized as S-Corp"

February 20, 2026

5.0

For a small business organized as a S-Corp, if you also use QuickBooks this is excellent software for the price.

Pros

Ease of use as well as accuracy. I have been using Turbotax Business to file corporate returns for my S-Corp for many years. I like the fact it imports all of the data from my prior year return as well as from QuickBooks. Electronic filing is also a huge plus.

Cons

Not too much I don't like about it. However, if I had to pick one thing I'd say there are certain topics the software could give more guidance on. However, the software always points you to the IRS website for further guidance.

### "TurboTax is plagued with software glitches and deceptive customer support"

April 2, 2025

1.0

Terrible. I used TurboTax for several years without issue, but when filing for 2024 taxes, they showed I was owed a refund. I submitted my tax return after confirming the refund and all the information was correct. However, TurboTax filed a different return with the government, instead showing that I owed the government money. They then made false promises after I contacted support, telling me they refunded their fee (they didn't), giving me a number to get a free tax review (the service said they wouldn't offer this to me), and then telling me it was the IRS who had amended the tax return (they hadn't). All in all, TurboTax is susceptible to major glitches in their software. Put simply, you can't trust that the return you are filing is correct. Furthermore, their customer support team is so deceptive you can only imagine it's an official policy or part of their culture to lie to customers to get them to get off the phone. After all, in the end you are liable to the federal government, so they have leverage over you even if they made a mistake. What I once thought was a great business and tool is actually one of the worst pieces of software and worst company cultures out there. I recommend that no one use them for tax preparation.

Pros

The wizard interface and contextual help provided to file your taxes.

Cons

The tax filing they made with the government was different from what they showed me on the confirmation page and what I signed my name to.

Alternatives considered

[H&R Block](https://www.capterra.com/p/123072/H-R-Block-At-Home-Premium-Business/)

Reason for choosing TurboTax Business

They had a good UI and fair pricing. But I would never use them again after discovering that they have critical software glitches in their tax filing feature and will do nothing to rectify any issues caused by this.

### "Took the Stress Out of Taxes for Business"

March 30, 2026

5.0

I had a great experience using TurboTax Business. It simplified a very complex process and gave me confidence that my taxes were done correctly. The guidance was clear, and the system was easy to navigate. While it is a bit pricey, the convenience and accuracy made it worth it for me.

Pros

Walks you through like an interview instead of completing confusing forms. Great for S-Corporations, C-Corporations, Multi-member LLC’s, and Partnerships.

Cons

It’s a bit pricey and additional States cost extra for filing. Not ideal for beginners of Corporations. Upsells can be annoying.

March 16, 2026

3.0

The software delivers what it promises. It guides you step-by-step. It's not terribly expensive and is lightweight.

Pros

Seeing live, while inputting slips, deductions, etc., what my Return will amount to. Some tips and warnings and Netfile.

Cons

The fact that it's needed at all instead of our taxes being automatically calculated and filed, at least as far as basic returns are considered.

### "The only tax prep. Company i use every year"

November 16, 2024

4.0

My overall experience with turbotax. Despite the constant Selecting no for premium plans. Basic plans. Regular plans is a good experience. Because i've always done my taxes with them.Never with any other company

Pros

The thing that I liked most about turbotax is how easy it is for me to upload my W2. Information and then filling in my personal information makes doing taxes way less.Hectic

Cons

I would have to say constantly asking 4 YouTube, pay for this pay for that basic plan for this premium plan for that. They should just put it all in one bundle and if it's a free service it should be free should not cost in the end

### "Excellent software for small business taxes!"

October 25, 2024

5.0

TurboTax Business thoughtvof everything, including expenses I had not thought of. My tax right offs went well above what I originally thought they would be which made my refund several hundred dollars more then I originally estimated.

Pros

I started a small business 2 years ago & needed to be able to write off my expenses which were close to $10,000. TurboTax business was my choice after reading plenty of reviews on other small business tax help programs. I was able to file with turbo tax business with my normal w-2 income as well as include my small business. It helped tremendously when it came to my tax bracket & the amount of a refund I was able to to receive from filing along with my business expenses.

Cons

I don't have anything to really compare TurboTax business with since it was my first year filing & can't think of any reason I would use any other software when doing my 2024 taxes.

TurboTax for Business is anyone and everyone. The most simplistic way to do your tax returns.

Pros

This is the only way to do Taxes for my family. It walks you through everything with explanations and tells you exactly what you need for each step.

Cons

The only con was that there were sometimes I needed my old tax returns, and it wasn't straightforward finding them.

It makes it a lot easier for me to add the tax data and also fill out every form and file it with IRS without a lot of hassle.

### "TurboTax is great for solopreneurs."

October 24, 2023

4.0

I have used TurboTax for years now because it is affordable and relatively easy to use, even for self-employed contractors.

Pros

TurboTax has been helpful to me for the past several years. The fact that my Self-Employment Quickbooks can feed information directly into my TurboTax is amazing. Customer service is also good. When I had two complex issues last year, they called me back with answers on how to categorize the expenses.

Cons

For government employees who move overseas for work, it is not always the easiest to figure out state taxes.

Cons

Customer Service is not what you expect. During the call, I was provided a service code for 20% off which never worked.

### "TTBInc 2020 cannot co-exist with TTBInc 2021 - Support is clueless, chat only, No telephone number!!"

May 6, 2022

3.0

TTBInc 2020 cannot co-exist with TTBInc 2021 - Support is clueless, chat only, No telephone number!! Support guys on chat actually tells you if you buy from retailers(which BTW has listed all retailers on their website) then don't expect any help. TTBinc 2020 and TTBinc cannot co-exist. I have saved chats for anyone who cares, about how disgusting the experience with support was.

Pros

Till TTBinc 2020 everything was good. With TTBinc 2021 - something has changed as described below.

Cons

TTBInc 2020 cannot co-exist with TTBInc 2021 - Support is clueless, chat only, No telephone number!! Support guys on chat actually tells you if you buy from retailers(which BTW has listed all retailers on their website) then don't expect any help. TTBinc 2020 and TTBinc 2021 cannot co-exist. I have saved chats for anyone who cares, about how disgusting the experience with support was. They have a non-working half-cooked Patch with missing steps which they give you on live chat and which doesn't work. They don't help you over remote connection knowing that it is not going to work. So had to uninstall and re-install TTBinc 2020 on a different computer - where I had to get new codes from Support. They did provide new codes though.

### "Makes Taxes Easy"

March 18, 2021

5.0

Overall, I love using the software. Makes doing taxes quick and gives me the confidence that I didn't miss anything. Also, the auto-calculations ensure that there are no mathematical errors on your part.

Pros

I have used TurboTax for Business for years. In addition to being an employee, I also have some of my own Sole Proprietorships. The software walks a person step-by-step through every aspect of his taxes, accounting for all his income and also for all possible deductions and credits. It auto-calculates the totals. Also, you can use the software to file your taxes electronically, which usually results in a very quick refund, if any is due.

Cons

Occasionally, there are special circumstances when you have to do a manual over-ride of the software's calculations, but if you do that then there are times when you can't use the software to file electronically. Your calculations will still be correct, but you'll have to file a printed paper copy and send through the mail rather than electronically. This isn't the case with all manual over-rides, but it can happen.

### "Sole Proprietorship Taxes"

May 16, 2019

5.0

Overall, turbotax business is a very good product. It has worked for my practice and as a sole proprietorship it is all that is needed versus an accountant. If you need it for an LLC that is too big, an accountant may be a better choice. If one is self-employed, small business, combines personal and business income, then I would highly recommend.

Pros

A. The user interface is friendly compared to other tax software B. The online version at intuit is user friendly in that you can stop & go anytime you want when filling out sections C. Finds a good amount of credits and deductions I never realized existed as a sole proprietorship and money loss. D. Does a good audit/check at the very end so everything appears filled properly E. Cheaper than an accountant for a small business

Cons

A. The tax breaks & credits at the state level sometimes are not always there B. Some sections are a bit confusing but if you cross check the description or on the IRS website it becomes more self explanatory C. Works well for self employed and small business but larger institutions might have more of a headache

### "TUrbo Tax Excellent for Small Business"

December 5, 2019

5.0

Overall, Turbo Tax for Business make tax prep and preparation of a return a breeze. IN less than one day, with only a little advance tax prep, both state and federal returns were done with ease and no stress.

Pros

I am fully confident in the structure, backup and support that Turbo Tax provides for small business owners. Much cheaper that a tax preparer and as a small business owner cost is key to a profitable year. Turbo tax is so simple and easy to use - anyone can do it with confidence that they are getting all the breaks and benefits allowed in preparing a return whether state or federal.

Cons

I filed for an extension last year through Turbo Tax. when I filed the return, it did not include the fee for filing late so it was a small surprise to get bills from both the State and Feds. In this instance, the amount owed was nominal but in another case things could have been different. Would be good for the software to include late fees/interest/penalties or at least to warn you to check with State and Feds regarding this.

### "Worth purchasing for complicated returns!"

April 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

Turbo Tax is one of the easiest tax programs to use. It stands out for how easy it is to use and its intuitive design and flow. It has a free filing option available, but if one want to take advantage of deduction & credits, one need to pay for it. The software lets you import W-2’s as well as your previous year’s return. Turbo Tax also has good tools for finding errors in your return. It runs a complete final check over both state and federal returns to look for errors and see if there are any deductions or credits you missed.

Cons

It’s most expensive software when compared with others. Free version of this is only viable for simple returns. Filing a regular 1040 will need to go with one of the paid versions.

November 21, 2023

5.0

The only income tax app I will do my business tax on is TurboTax Business.

Pros

It calculates everything for me all i have to do is input the information. I been doing turbo tax on and off for 10 years. If you have a self employed business income can use your 1099 and input that info or if you did turbotax last year it will bring it over from last year.

Cons

Once you switch over from 1040 to business turbotax you cant change it you have to delete all your information and start over.

### "Amazing for your small business"

July 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

I've used Turbotax on my personal taxes for years now, and am excited to use it for my small contracting business. I love that everything is so easy to use, explained well, and carried year after year. Also, you can always go back and print things and reload if it wont work. In a modern, paperless world, this is so important. Turbotax will always look for tax breaks for you, and will see if you can qualify for more tax credits - something that every small business needs. I've tried other tax software and this is by far my favourite.

Cons

It can add up quickly. The benefits of doing your own taxes are that you save accountant fees. However, this charges you based on your income and tax return ,so that can always become more expensive. On top of that, I always add the audit defence just to be safe, something I've never needed, but is more costly than filing.
