Every time I opened the old software the first thing TT did was to insist on an update. The update was apparently to incapacitate it. I'm not sure when I last opened these old Turbo Tax versions but it was probably prior to 2020 and they worked just fine for many many years after the tax year. This is a new (in the past few years new) thing by turbo tax and it is really frustrating. I'm pretty sure the older software didn't say anything about only lasting 3 years or I would have found different software.
No one has made any recommendations for alternative software. I would really appreciate that.
