The Amazon site shows Turbotax 2025 requiring Mac OS 14. My desktop says my operating system is up to date with Ventura OS 13.7.8. Will Turbotax 2025, work on my desktop?

Sorry NO. You can switch to the Online version.

If you used the Desktop program last year here’s How to transfer into the Online version, expand the blue link if you used the CD/download last year

If you used the Desktop program before you may notice several differences and not like the online version. It has less features and no Forms Mode. You can only do 1 return. Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2025 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done. In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something. You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.

No. The Mac operating system must be macOS Sonoma 14 or later

Mac OS 13 support from Apple ended last Nov. If your computer is stuck on OS 13 that means your HW is considered out of date by Apple also. Intuit does not support Turbotax on unsupported OS versions due to security concerns.

If you don't already plan on upgrading (I wouldn't rush to do this just for Turbotax), and if TT Online or other online services are not a good solution for you, then the other desktop s/w option is HR Block which is still supporting older Mac OS versions.
