@jncroyle while your facts are limited, TT Business software does not have the ability to prepare a return that is anywhere close to what is needed for a complete and accurate consolidated tax return.
If you actually have a consolidated tax return, you will need to utilize software that is geared toward professional tax preparation. A consolidated tax return needs to show the income statement and balance sheets of each and every subsidiary, with the later for both beginning and ending of the year, and then eliminating entries.
TT Business is designed for a single entity.
You need to make sure you actually have subsidiaries.
A corporation with disregarded entities does not prepare a consolidated tax return. This structure just files a single tax return as disregarded entities are treated as a division and are not separately reported.
*A reminder that posts in a forum such as this do not constitute tax advice.
Also keep in mind the date of replies, as tax law changes.
