We are paying Turbo Tax to know and understand the details.
TT is smart enough to check the windows version at startup, then refuse to launch unless Win10 or higher.
It is just as easy for TT to verify TMP and TEMP presence at startup as well.
More insidious is the network METERING function that causes TT update errors.
In its infinite wisdom, Microsoft updates took it upon itself to enable METERING in my network connection.
This resulted in a cryptic fail-to-update message from TT.
The user is paying Turbo Tax to do its job, because most users are not system admins familiar with Windows internals.
Same goes for TT asking me to dig out some Sched-E carryover field from last years tax return, that it prepared.
TT knows exactly what it wants, and where to find it, yet demands the user scour through old returns to find some arcane value and manually plug it in.
Millions of users are paying TT good money to do the job.
These basic loose ends are unacceptable.
