I just received the email today. I'm also under the impression that we can get windows support for another year. I don't know why intuit would drop support. It doesn't make sense for me to buy a new computer just for turbo tax, which is the only program that requires it.
I've been a TT user for nearly 30 years now. V disappointed with this announcement. I'm only interested in using desktop software for tax, not cloud, and will have to consider other options at this point. Very disappointing.
