It is patently false to claim this is a Microsoft decision. It is absolutely an Intuit decision and not a Microsoft decision. Just because the bozos over at Microsoft are cutting off support for over 40% of their users doesn't mean that Intuit has to do the same.
There is no added risk to Intuit to offer the product for Windows 10.
Intuit forced me to upgrade one of my PC's from Windows 7 to Windows 10 a few years back so I could continue using their product. There was some use case for the upgrade, so I wasn't totally opposed (though the resource suck on Windows 10 is awful comparted to Windows 7). I have no intention of going from Windows 10 to Windows 11 on any of my PC's as the only real change is to infect your PC with Microsoft's data harvesting AI spyware. I'll find another software program or pay to have my taxes done before I do that.
I've been using Turbotax for 15 years and agree with you that they have been increasing the cost without increasing value to users. It feels like they've gotten lazy with the interview questions. I find that the software steers me wrong more and more frequently and I must do a lot more of my own research to really understand the tax law and what the software is really doing because the UI dialogue does not make it clear. Perhaps it's time to move on anyway.
