Question

TurboTax Business on Mac or AWS

Has anyone actually succeeded in running TurboTax Business on Mac with an M2 processor?

I’m thinking of MacOS > Parallels > Windows for Arm > x86 emulation > TurboTax Business.

That’s a lot of Installation and setup effort (and, of course, some expense) to undertake without knowing that someone, somewhere has succeeded.

 

Alternately, has anyone been able to install and run TurboTax Business on a Windows PC in the cloud, such as in AWS?

 

Buying a little headless PC just for TurboTax Business is my third choice. Probably simpler, but I don’t want to drag around the extra hardware if I can help it.

 

Thanks.

    a couple of folks posted they've been able to run TT 2025 personal version in Win 11 VMs on Win 10.  I guess running TT business on a Mac thru VM is less common, so you might have to just give it a go.

     

    you can try posting in the Apple discussion forum also

    Pretty sure TurboTax desktop has to be installed on a local drive.
