TurboTax 2024 and Monterey 12.7.6 OS

I just made this same mistake. I downloaded the turbotax software to my MacBook air w/ monterey then the software wouldn't run. Now I have $70 software I can't use. What did you end up doing?

Well I was one of the dumb ones that logged down and purchased TurboTax without thinking, I have used it for so many years now and used it on my Apple. I didn’t read through every last bit of fine print, I agree they need to have a little flash or something come up that says make sure you’re operating system is Compatible, I have tried H&R Block and did not like it, I don’t like that the online services don’t save all your data, I am done with TurboTax now that really made me mad! Trying so hard to save money and end up wasting it on some thing that doesn’t even work and I’m not buying a new computer because my old one still works fine

Can you tell me how to use the online version? I can't figure it out. Thank you

What is you opinion of H&R Block Tax program, I'm in the same boat. I was wondering if it would transfer my 2023 information over into it?

Turbo Tax should have been warning users what the requirements are to run their program, the downloads shouldn't work if you don't have the correct platform. I got lucky and checked it out before downloading TurboTax is why I switch to H & R Block after over 30 years with them.

IntuitApple does this on a regular basis. The last two MBPs I bought were because my old one couldn’t be upgraded to an OS that TurboTax for the year couldn’t be run on. One year, I simply used a friend’s newer Mac. But it is worth it so I don’t have to enter the previous year’s information into some new tax program manually.

The real scandal here isn’t about their upgrade issue, it’s the fact that Intuit have lobbied the government to keep the IRS from making its own tax prep software and manipulate the complaints by making a handicapped free version available. There’s a good article about this history of TurboTax in ProPublica that you can Google.

I just bought one from Sam's club and I did ask them prior to purchase it, I even asked for the CD and they said it doesn't come with it, I also asked them if it work with my MacOs and they said it should, guess what?! I'm going back tomorrow to return it. I think Turbotax will be loosing tons of money this year for this glitch .

My running system is Monterey 12.7.6 and it does not update to MacOs 13. If Apple is working with Turbo tax to make us buy new computers then I guess someone will be loosing money, and guess what, it ain't gonna be us !

Use the online version of TurboTax in your web browser.

As did I. I bought through Amazon. I contacted customer service and they refunded my money. You might also try to dispute the charge through your credit card company.

This may be a classic move by apple to induce or possibly enforce their customers to buy a new computer with dwindling Mac sales in the past few years. Terrible move imo. Some old computers are perfectly capable of being upgraded.

I'm having MUCH trouble trying to use H&R Block Deluxe + State.

Can't use T.Tax this year with my late 2015 iMac.

If you’re asking if you can run macOS 13 or later, you cannot.

Oh, well. So much for Intuit.

Good advice. I considered this one year but I am concerned about the ability to look up all the past returns, also the regular version of it allows you to do a few alternate versions of returns to do “what if?” Scenarios. I’m a little paranoid too about the security of having that information online forever.

IRS direct File will be back in 2025 as well.

Previously, it was for simpler returns and only in certain states.
