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. Switched from [TaxAct Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/186938/TaxAct-Business/) Because we switched our employee payroll to Quickbooks which is also thru Intuit. Review Source CB Camille B. Owner Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid Product for Tax Season" August 29, 2026 5.0 Great. I use it every year and have never looked for an alternate platform or service. I would also suggest it to small-businesses. Pros Turbotax is really easy to use for my business. I like how it is always a step away of me when I am handling my accounting. The tax filing process itself couldn't be more easy and it is great value for money. Cons I had one issue with support team where they quite literally did my tax check wrong. If I had submitted like that, I would've certainly gotten in trouble. But with a watchful eye and double checking their work it is okay. Alternatives considered [Collective\[i\]](https://www.capterra.com/p/178682/Collective-i/) Reason for choosing TurboTax Business I felt that Collective was specifically for SCorps and the Turbotax just seems like the simplest solution. Review Source D. Ryan C. Member Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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). Switched from [AccountSight](https://www.capterra.com/p/153539/AccountSight/) My accountant used a different software, I switched to speed up the process (my accountant typically needed 8 months to prepare my taxes). Review Source VR Verified Reviewer PRESIDENT Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "turbo tax biz review" May 19, 2026 5.0 good overall experience, easy to use, efficient for filing, though limited for complex needs and multi-state returns Pros easy to use interface, simple navigation, efficient tax preparation and filing of business tax returns Cons too simple for complex business returns, SOFTWARE lacks advanced features and flexibility for detailed needs Switched from [ATX](https://www.capterra.com/p/233241/ATX/) turbo tax business was web based and easier to use Review Source HS Hailey S. Property Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Review Source JR Javier R. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source NH Naima H. Tax expert Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Tax Software " July 15, 2026 4.0 It's positive over all. Effective and works well. It will alert you if there are errors in input and make suggestions to how to chance them Pros It's an essential software to do individual and small business tax. It's easy to use. And I mostly like that it allows you to import data from QuickBooks and such. Cons It has some glitches from time to time, refusing to update certain info. It gets slow after a certain time in the evening. Review Source BL Brian L. Consultant Security and Investigations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source LF LINDA F. Controller Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product" August 5, 2026 5.0 I think it's a great product. I can't say if support is good because I haven't called. It seems to have the laws correct. Pros Easy to learn. Reasonable price. Can go directly to forms or use screen by screen questions. Accurate tax laws. Cons Sometimes when I changed companies, it didn't seem to change me over. I had to close out and restart. Review Source RD Ruth D. Consultant Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Review Source RS RICARDO S. Sales Representative Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Be you own accountant." March 7, 2025 5.0 It has made my tax preparation a process easier an les stressful. Pros It guides you step by step giving you suggestions avoiding not missing any deduction. Cons Sometimes is a little bit time consuming. Review Source KI Kenneth I. Window cleaner Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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 Review Source JB Joshua B. CEO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I'll be back. Keeping it simple. " January 15, 2025 5.0 I'm filing with TurboTax this year, next year and as far as I can see, the following. Keep it up TurboTax. Pros They stay on top of the game. Months before it's time to file there already on it. Getting things prepped and ready. Makes it simple. Absolutely love it.

Communications Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "You Plug it Chugs" July 26, 2018 4.0 Pros I’ve used TurboTax, electronic tax preparation software, for three consecutive years to file my state and federal taxes. TurboTax provides e-filing taxes services and assistance for those filing as self-employed, small business, military, and retirement tax purposes. TurboTax will make filing less of a hassle; all you have to do is plug, and it will take care of the chugging for you. Overall, I have been pretty pleased with the services but keep in mind it is always good to have a second pair of eyes to examine your taxes before filing. Pros We all know filing taxes can rack up quite a hefty bill, especially when hiring someone to do them for you. TurboTax provides the same services as a real person, for a reasonable cost. One of my favorite perks to using Turbo is that it saves all my previous year’s returns so I can easily access and refer to at any time; you can easily switch between the online platform and the mobile app without having to worry about your data or updates being lost. For those who don’t have a lot of sit-down time you can file on the go, directly from Turbo’s mobile app; which supports both iPhone and Android phone as well as an iPad and Android tablet. For beginners, this application is the step-by-step guide that walks you through the complete filing process from start to finish. If you still find you need assistance there is on-demand support and live-phone support (including CPA or EA assistance that can look over/double check your work before sending your return off) readily available to you 24-hours a day. If you are anything like me… a tax amendment or an extension of some sort is often in the equation; TurboTax contains all the forms you can easily access to complete any of these actions and will let you know exactly where to mail it to. After filing, the IRS should receive your return in as little as 1-2 business days and are generally approved within 1-2 business days as well (deposits and refunds take a bit longer, est. 19 business days). Cons Although TurboTax does have a free plan, keep in mind you will still have to pay when e-filing (technically speaking… it’s not exactly free). As an experienced Turbo user for three years now, I have only encountered one experience where Turbo did not catch a mistake; for this reason, I would highly recommend you have one of the CPA/EA’s available to you via TurboTax look over your taxes before filing to help you catch any potential errors. While I have confidence in the applications security of my data and personal information I would not put 100% confidence in the results it provides as automated software can make mistakes too. In the future I hope TurboTax provides documentation on all of the calculations so that it is easier for people to work backwards and find mistakes when needed. Review Source SA Setareh A.

I do love TurboTax Business, and I totally recommend it to you if you are looking for a helpful and effective tax preparation tool. Pros I use TurboTax business for preparing tax dosuments of my small business. I also use the regular version of turboTax for personal household tax preparation.

TurboTax Business can be integrated with various financial financial software which allows for seamless data transfer with minimum errors.TurboTax Business has robust audit support capabilities, including representation from a tax professional and an automatic audit risk check. Cons Although I am satisfied with TurboTax Business, I can mention two cons for the software. While TurboTax Business covers a wide range of tax forms , it may not be suitable for more complex businesses tax returns or those with multiple states filing requirements.Another thing to mention is that the tool's desktop version requires manual updates and may not be as up-to-date as the online version.

July 27, 2021 5.0 Pros This software is extremely easy to use. It asks a series of questions and gives considerations for all sorts of things related to your taxes and, your business, specifically. It performed all data calculations for me, and I've never had an issue with my returns using TurboTax Business. I've actually had to use the Audit Defense feature twice, and it was amazing to work with the attorneys who communicated with the IRS on my behalf. It is well worth the money. Cons Over the years, it has increased in price. That's my only criticism. But that is also to be expected and is worth every penny. It is also considerably cheaper than the competitors.

Pros Integration with third party entities like banks and stock trading firms makes it incredibly easy to input data without a lot of manual intervention. Cons The artificial intelligence could use some improvement where it thinks that you want to do a particular task, but it's not always accurate.

CFO Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "TurboTax Business" July 31, 2021 4.0 I would continue using if you are trying to avoid paying a CPA to do the taxes for you. However, I have to reiterate that you need experience in business taxes to make sure it's done properly and won't cause issues later down the line. Pros The ability to do it yourself. It's downloadable and you can efile once you are completed with the return. Cons You have to know what you're doing. If you are no experienced in business taxes you can easily make a mistake. Also, there is no business support for this program. They only offer technical support.

Although on the pricey side, the software quickly pays for itself. Pros TurboTax Business keeps me and the IRS happy. Their updated software and thorough steps make sure that I don't miss any deductions or mess up my company's taxes. Cons I've learned that the price jumps if you don't file before March. TurboTax conveniently saves your info from last year, but of course that makes it harder if you want to switch providers. Review Source Similar Products Featured
