I have saved Turbotax files going back to 1992. I was using it in the 1980s. At 81 years of age I'm not anxious to learn a new tax preparation system, nor do I want to hire a CPA to do my relatively simple taxes now. The 1099s are starting to come in and I want to get my 2023 income taxes prepared. Maybe the other tax preparation programs will work as well as Turbotax, but it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. I really like Turbotax!
Not sure if this is an Intuit problem or an Apple problem. There are many, many computers out there that can't be upgraded past MacOS Big Sur. And many of their owners are Turbotax users.
So, I found an older MacBook Pro that can run the Ventura MacOS. Had to share the Tax files between my iMac running Big Sur and the MacBook Pro running Ventura. Yesterday I ordered the 2023 Turbotax Premier from Amazon and expect it to arrive today. I'm seeing the 1099s coming in from my investments. So, the tail is wagging the dog, but at least I can get my 2023 income taxes done this year without having to try "new" software. I really do like Turbotax! Hope 2024 Turbotax will run on the Ventura MacOS!
Still wonder why the 64bit MacOS Big Sur can't support 2023 TurboTax. It does support most other 64bit applications. It's not an Intel processor problem as the MacBook Pro has an Intel processor. I suspect there are many unhappy Mac users who are also dedicated Turbotax users. Planned obsolescence is a shame! Wonder how long Turbotax will support the Ventura MacOS? If this doesn't work, I'll post the results.
Sorry for the long post. Maybe someone at Intuit will see how many are affected by this!
