Does anybody at Intuit follow and respond to questions asked in the community forum, and if so, why does Intuit refuse to put out a Mac version of Turbotax Business?

Turbotax Business is the only version that handles trusts, so must be used even if the filer is not a business owner.  This lack of support locks out those people.

The request to include a Mac version of the Business Edition has been presented now for over a decade.  The decision not to support a Mac version is with TurboTax management.  They are well aware of the requests.

Low demand is the rationale for this and it must be true because there is no other software developer (ZERO, NONE) that produces a Mac version of business income tax preparation software (i.e., software to prepare Forms 1041, 1065, 1120, 1120-S).

Probably Intuit's analysis is that the additional costs associated with creating and maintaining a MAC version would be greater than the revenue generated or will not provide a sufficient profit margin.  No different than other businesses
