How do I prepare another 2020 return using online turbotax premium for a trust?

[VolvoGirl · Accepted solution]

You need to prepare a 1041 Trust return?

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 or the Online Self Employed version.

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

I bought a copy of Turbotax for Business in order to prepare a 1041 return, but I didn't realize that it wouldn't run on a Mac.  Has anyone successfully run this Turbotax program on a Mac, using Bootcamp or other PC-to-Mac adapter software?

If you purchased the wrong version, you can contact us by phone to request a refund in order to switch it out for a Mac version.

@CarissaM   FYI - there is no Mac version for the separate Business program.  It's only available for Windows not online and not Mac.
