I need to amend my 2015 NY State and NJ returns. I do not have windows and can't open the program

I was able to download the 2015 Turbo Tax program but unable to open because my Mac OS does not support Windows.

Ok .. if you have a MAC why did you download the WIN program ?  Where did you get the program ?  

It can handle the 2015 version :  <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3299949">https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3299949</a>

You'll have to do this on a computer or laptop, as it involves installing the TurboTax download software. You won't be able to do this on a mobile device.

  1. Sign in at TurboTax.com with the login you used when you filed your 2015 return.
  2. Click Show to open Your tax returns & documents.
  3. Select 2015, and then click Amend (change) 2015 return.
  4. In the expanded instructions, click the links in step 1 (download your .tax file) and step 2 (download TurboTax Desktop 2015 for Windows).
  5. Install the TurboTax Desktop 2015 software. Win instructions | Mac instructions
  6. Now, open your .tax file in the TurboTax Desktop 2015 software by choosing File > Open Tax Return (Windows) or TurboTax > Open Tax Return (Mac). Browse to the location of your tax file, and then click Open.
