Download problems Mac

I filed personal taxes with TT deluxe Mac. I now wish to file Estate Tax Forms on the TT Home and Business program on Mac. I wish to keep the two filings on their separate programs, but now I can't seem to download the Home and Business. When I download it I just get another copy of Deluxe with my personal taxes entered. I purchased Home and Business Desktop Mac, that is what is stated in the download section of my Intuit account, and have been billed and have my license code. I didn't want to upgrade because I had already filed my personal taxes and didn't want to mess with transferring that info.

I appreciate any helpful suggestions. Thanks

TurboTax Home and Business will prepare Form 1040 only, including Schedule C businesses and other personal income tax forms.

Since you already filed your personal return using Deluxe, see here if you need a refund on your Home and Business purchase.

Which product or service you use will depend on whether you need to file an income tax return for an estate (Form 1041), or an estate tax return (Form 706). TurboTax Business handles Form 1041 and will also generate the K-1 schedules and figure out how much net income is allocated to the estate's heirs.

However, TurboTax does not currently support the filing of Form 706.

Sorry, You need Turbo Tax Business.

The small business program (TT Business) is for 1120 Corporation, 1120S Corp, 1065 Partnership or 1041 Estate/Trust returns and will not do your personal 1040 return. It is a separate program from the Desktop Home & Business program. Home & Business is only for personal 1040 returns that need Schedule C for self employment income.

BUT

Turbo Tax Business is not available to do online or on a Mac. And you can have both TT Business and TT Home & Business (or any personal version) installed on your computer at the same time.

You can buy the Window's Business Desktop program here…..
