Tax Software. TurboTax Business Federal+ e-File 2010

Tax Software. In the 2010 version of TurboTax for Business you cannot transfer data from the prior year and save the file. Program produces an error 900 code and the online response is that there is no known solution. Call to tech support told me this is a known problem and they do not have a fix. They said we either have to wait until they figure out how to fix the program or manually enter all of the prior years' data in the new year. They do not know when or if they can fix the problem.

 If there was a problem with transferring prior year returns, it has been fixed. I've installed TurboTax Business from a CD I had received from Intuit, and it transferred 2009 return without any issues.
I don't see any dramatic changes comparing to 2009 - clear and user friendly interface and a wealth of supporting information in case you have a question. This will be my 12th year of using TurboTax. It has always worked fine, and I don't expect 2010 to be any different.

The business version works well, but I feel it was to expensive. I liked the feature of working with quickbooks, which is what I use for my business, but it was to pricy for what you get. I do regret buying it. After spending money on this version you still have to buy the state version, then you have to buy yet another version for your own personal tax returns. By the time you are done you will have spent $200.

I saw H&R block has a business version like this one with pretty fair ratings for about $80, which includes your personal income tax return a savings of $120. It's not worth the extra cost for the extraction of data from Quickbooks, all you need to do is run the tax report in Quickbooks and you will have all the data you need for entering on the H&R block version, might take you an additional 20 minutes, but when you consider the cost break down that is $360 an hour, which for me translates into a poor investment. Sorry Quicken, I'm all about the numbers
