There are two basic Linux incarnations. Debian and the other one. 🙂
The level of investment required for porting Turbo Tax to Linux is dependent upon the current language it is written in.
I write in C# and at one time C# was supported in Linux under MONO. Unfortunately development has dropped off and I have been unable to locate clear and concise information as to ho to port my C# apps to Linux.
This has forced me to revert to Python and PySide6. It is time intensive.
For a program as complex as Turbo Tax not only is it a time intensive undertaking porting it to another cross platform programming language it has to be tested and debugged.
Honestly there may not be enough time this tax season.
I am not sure that there is enough risk for those of us who are security savvy for there to be a complete ban on Turbo Tax this year.
However, Intuit doesn't just sell it's software to people who understand and mitigate the risks.
Perhaps next year. And, as there really isn't any viable alternative and as I refuse to do taxes live on-line I had one system that can handle 11, actually came with it and I down graded it to Win 10. This year ONLY!
