What works
I was able to produce a federal tax return for a trust and print it out, i.e., a Form 1041 and the associated Schedule K-1.
What does not
I was unable to connect to the update server to download updates or to download the state tax forms for my state. TurboTax complained about "unexpected content received" when attempting to connect. TurboTax was able to perform other functions that required an internet connection, however, so I know that network connectivity itself was not the problem.
After downloading it separately, I was unable to run the state forms installer manually.
Not being able to apply updates or to produce state tax returns renders this software unusable under Wine in my opinion.
Workarounds
Getting the TurboTax install program to work required several prerequisite steps:
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.turbotax-2019 winetricks -q dotnet48
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.turbotax-2019 winecfg set version to Windows 10 on the "Applications" tab
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.turbotax-2019 winetricks settings ddr=gdi
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.turbotax-2019 wine Downloads/w_turbotax_bpm_2019.250.0100.exe
WINEPREFIX="/home/dlk/.turbotax-2019" /usr/bin/wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/dlk/.turbotax-2019/dosdevices/c\:/users/dlk/Start\ Menu/Programs/TurboTax\ Business\ 2019/TurboTax\ Business\ 2019.lnk
