Support for 2026 Software for Windows 10

Although Turbo Tax stated that the 2025 tax year software required Windows 11, to run there I had no issues with running it on Windows 10. Again for 2026 Inuit states Windows 11 as a requirement. This drops their potential client base dramatically if that is the case. Would like to know if Windows 10 can support the 2026 tax year software or do I need to look elsewhere for tax software. (desktop software). Am not interested in doing taxes online.

Here's a support article that confirms this (US TurboTax, but requirements are the same platform-wide):
"Minimum system requirements for TurboTax Desktop software"

Confirmed: both 2025 and 2026 TurboTax Desktop require Windows 11 (64-bit), the software won't install or run on Windows 10, even if it happened to work unofficially for you on 2025. This is a firm requirement, not a recommendation, so you would need to either upgrade to Windows 11 or look at TurboTax Online instead for 2026.

If you need further assistance with this we would reach out to TurboTax Canada Support.
