Cannot override social security withheld in W-2s,
So I am currently on the phone for the second day in a row – 2 hours yesterday (lady was very nice and helpful) problem was escalated to be fixed. For those that do payroll, you should understand. I was working on the W-2s for my 2 employees. The amount of medicare and social security withheld was different from the calculated amount – this is from rounding differences as they are added up through the year. TurboTax is well aware of this and has a checkbox so that you can overwrite the calculated values to correctly enter what was withheld and not get errors – and this is what I want to do because I want to report to the IRS what was withheld. However, the checkbox does not work to allow overwrite of the social security amount. So yesterday, they escalated the problem. However, today I get a phone call to just change the W-2 to match the calculated amount! That is unacceptable – you must report to the IRS exactly what was withheld. Furthermore, their program does acknowledge this and is suppose to allow it (hence the checkbox), but it does not work for the social security amount withheld!
This has to be fixed – I know I will not be the only one with this issue. I am sure it will be, but getting them to understand the issue appears to be the main issue now!

|Serious enough defects to warrant looking at another software package,
I have been using TurboTax for Business for many years for my company’s annual tax returns. Each year brings a new adventure with usually small glitches here and there that I’m able to work around. This year, however, the defects are more serious and are more difficult to work around. This wouldn’t be such a problem except that although Intuit provides plenty of discussion groups and support for completing the forms, it doesn’t make it easy to report program errors.
I have experienced 2 program errors so far with TurboTax for Business 2011. The first is the installation program immediately crashes every time I initiate installation on my main computer, which is running MS Windows XP SP3. I have made sure the computer has no viruses and is up-to-date with all patches. Fortunately, it doesn’t crash on a notebook computer that I have and so I’m using that to work on the taxes. I can see on their website that Intuit knows about this defect.
The second is there are areas where the program runs very slowly. For example, when entering a new asset, it takes minutes to go from one screen to the next. I enter the name of the new asset and the date it was put into service, click on the Continue button, go off and do something else for 5 to 10 minutes while the program displays a calculating message, come back, enter the next bit of information, click on the Continue button, go off and do something else for 5 to 10 minutes again while the program displays a calculating message, and so on until I finally return to the list of assets screen. At this rate, it’s going to take hours to enter the new assets my company has.
I recommend that if you don’t have a lot of history with TurboTax for Business, look for a software package that is better supported. I understand that defects happen and am happy to work around them. However, Intuit seems to have insulated itself from its customers to the point where we cannot let them know about these sorts of issues, which makes it a lot less likely they will be fixed.

|Turbo Tax Business 2011 Error Message,
I purchased this program (Turbo Tax for Business Federal +E-file 2011), but it doesn’t even work. I get the message that Turb Tax has encountered an error and must shut down everytime I try to run it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, downloading the file again after uninstalling and then reinstalling, but it always does the same thing when I try to run it. Neither Amazon.com nor TurboTax offer any remedies for the problem. Is this program a scam?
