Strengths: Unknown

Weaknesses: Not for Sole Proprietor LLCs.

Summary: Being mislead by the title I purchased this thinking it would cover everything for my Small Business sole proprietor LLC. I installed the software, created my tax file, starting going through the questions about my business and was immediately told I needed to buy a different version. If this is a "higher end" and more expensive version, why wouldn't Intuit just let you downgrade to a lower one for free?

Strengths: Easy to install and use. A big time saver

Weaknesses: Not as flexible as doing by hand.

Summary: I have been using Turbo tax to do my partnership tax returns for years and it is a time saver. You can just transfer your last years return so it saves a lot of time of having to re-enter the partners info. If you make any changes to any forms, it will automatically recalculate. The only issue I have is that they limit the number of special allocation. I would highly recomment this to anyone who have a small business. It may take you some time in the first year, but you will save a lot of time and money the following years.

Strengths: Saves a lot of money to do it ourselves.

Weaknesses: None

Summary: We're going to try to use this software to file our partnership taxes this year. In the past, we've used a CPA because the IRS forms seemed confusing. However, CPA filing fee was cost prohibitive. So, hopefully, TurboTax Business will help us complete tax paperwork ourselves.
