This is a followup to my previous message. Since TT 2023 download has stopped supporting my MacBook Pro that runs Big Sur, I went ahead and purchased HR Block. HR Block "Deluxe + State" download edition only cost $25 on Amazon and allows 5 Federal filings and one State, just like TT Deluxe. Block downloaded and installed easily, and easily imported my TT data from last year. So far I've done the Federal portion and started the State. The interface seems very similar to TT. Block might do slightly less "hand-holding" compared to TT, but it seems that making the switch is not difficult at all. And since it supports Macs as far back as OS 10.15, I feel pretty confident that HR Block will continue to support Big Sur next year and beyond.
I agree with other posters who said that there may be no technical reason for TT to "un-support" a batch of their Mac Download users each year. I suspect they want to move existing Download customers to their on-line version, which might be more profitable. But by doing that, they seem to be losing those Download customers like me who prefer not to have their tax return data stored on-line on Intuit's (or any company's) servers.
