Microsoft support for Windows Vista ends on April 11, 2017. TurboTax support for Vista does not end. You can still run 2016 TurboTax in Vista after April 11. See the following FAQ.

Where does it say it will stop on the 12th?  I don't see your email address anywhere.

After i paid $99 and started the download something said it was incompatable with 2015 and ask if i would like to patch or d delete old version..i chose delete..after download asked to connect to internet to download updates..That's when it said that as of the 12th they would no longer be supporting vista.

OH LOOK !! And here it is on the community posts from three month ago !!  My bad..it's the 11th..not the 12th.   Oh Damn :(  It gets worse....

    To top it off, and more importantly, the same post says "your computer may be more vulnerable to the latest viruses and security breaches once Microsoft stop releasing patches for Vista." !!   

    So, who's the ass?  Me? ..for only looking at the sites security and privacy statements on the purchase sight and not fine-tooth combing the blogs..Or them ?, for not making this clear to the public before they purchase an item in which they are intrusting with their most confidentional information.

 Why didn't they make me aware of this before i paid for it  !!  

 May i have money back please??
