Question

Where do I find the turbotax I need?

I filled out all the information for my 1040 day job and my 1120s (s-corp) and it’s prompting me to file via turbotax premier. A quick google search tells me that working a day job and owning an s-corp that the premier isn’t the right choice and that turbotax business is in fact what I need. This is correct, right? I need turbotax business but it won’t let me chose turbotax business via the app on my phone… although it will allow me to file via turbotax premier somehow? Doesn’t make any sense but premier did cover the k-1, 1120s, 1040 and stuff I would need for an s-corp. Need some guidance.

    The TurboTax Premium online edition can be used for your personal tax return and for entry of the Schedule K-1 from the S Corporation.

     

    The TurboTax Business Edition is used to complete and file a Form 1120-S for an S Corporation.  The Business Edition can only be installed on a Windows based personal computer, not on a Mac or online.  The Business Edition cannot complete a personal tax return, Form 1040.

    Go to this TurboTax website for the Business Edition - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/home-and-business.jsp

    Or for a higher fee go to this TurboTax website fort the Business Online Live Assist edition - https://turbotax.intuit.com/small-business-taxes/

    To clarify, this is a digital download off the turbotax site? I clicked around and Mac was an option besides windows… is this some sort of error or something new?

    If you were checking the TurboTax personal editions, which Home & Business is one, then those programs can be installed on either a Windows or Mac personal computer.
