Which TurboTax product can I use on a Mac for a multi-member LLC business?

[Critter-3]

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.

Do you have access to a Windows computer? 

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

So the answer is TurboTax doesn’t make a product for that situation?

very disappointing given how popular Macs are. 

will TurboTax buy windows software for me?

Correct and TurboTax (Intuit) is not alone.

No other DIY income tax preparation software company makes a Mac version of their business (e.g., multi-member LLC/partnership, corporation, estate/trust) software.

There are actually people who purchase (relatively) inexpensive laptops or PC's just so they can run TurboTax for Business on them --- admittedly not a cheap solution---but it is a possibility.    Or purchase Paralells, etc. to use on a Mac so you can use the Windows program.

None of them unfortunately. Since you need to file a 1065 Partnership/Multi-member LLC tax return, you have to use TurboTax Business (different from Home & Business). TurboTax Business is only available for the Windows operating system. It is not available as an online product, or for Macs.

Macs are not that popular mostly due to the cost and they only make up 16% of the market of which most are for personal use only.  Thus  the DIY software companies don't spend resources trying to adhere to strict MAC code requirements for such a small market share... it is just not cost effective.  That is also the reason some forms are not supported in the program ... too few to justify the cost and time... this is just a simple facts with a for profit company like Intuit.

Now you can buy a cheap WIN computer/laptop  to use for your business which would be more economical than using a paid tax pro in the long run   or   install something like "parallels" on the Mac.

I believe you can buy a Windows key and parallels for, at most, around $170 (probably cheaper).
