In addition to the other answer, note that if the estate is reporting based on a fiscal year that began in 2017, you would file a 2017 Form 1041 and would use the 2017 version of TurboTax Business for that purpose.

The TurboTax Business Edition is used to complete an Estate or Trust tax return, Form 1041.

The Business Edition software is only available to 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.

The 2018 Business Edition software would not be available until either sometime in December 2018 or January 2019.

Also, the IRS would not have the 2018 Form 1041 available until sometime in the 4th quarter of 2018 or early 2019
