I originally purchased Self-Employed thinking that the TurboTax component of it would be all I need to file my taxes (without an accountant, yay!). I travel a lot for work, and worked in 19 different states in 2019. TurboTax allowed me to list all of the states that I would need to file tax returns in and told me it would help me file them all, no problem. A long road ahead, sure, but I was fine with that. All was going well, until my 6th state return...
Turns out that TurboTax won't let you fill out more than 5 state returns. It says I have to delete one before doing another. And it gave me NO WARNING when I listed out all of the states I need to do returns for. Thank you for telling me that AFTER I wasted nearly half a day filling out the first 5 returns. Needless to say I am extremely dissatisfied.
So I will be taking my business to an accountant, like I should've in the first place (unless there's a way for TurboTax to e-file 14 additional state returns for $0 extra).
I need to download what I have done so far (so I can send to my accountant to pick up where I left off), at no charge. All of the instructions I've read say I have to pay to do so. I've been paying the subscription for Self-Employed for nearly a year now, so I've already been scammed for my money on Self-Employed (fine, I'll live with it). But I won't let it happen again just to download my own incomplete tax documents.
