1041 on a Mac?

[RickLevenson]

Does anyone know a way to file a 1041 using TurboTax on a Mac.  It seems the Business version is PC only for some reason.

The Business edition is PC only; there is no Mac version and no online version at this time.

Further, no other income tax preparation software company offers desktop software for filing a 1041 that will run natively on a Mac.

Actually, this isn't true as I found out.  TaxAct will do the 1041 for both the on-line version as well as the downloaded Mac version.  It does the needed K-1s too.  For anyone needing to do a trust return on the Mac -- TaxAct seems to be your answer!    (Caveat: I haven't completed the return yet...)

You can probably run the Windows Business program on a Mac using a Windows Emulator like Parallels. But you would have to buy a copy of Windows to install in it.   Google Windows on Mac to get articles on the various  options.

I can only find an online version that can be used to prepare a 1041 on their site.
