Totally agree. Why is Intuit the the only tax software vendor with this problem? Their explanation is totally nonsensical. If they want to get a large number of Apple users to go with a different tax software provider, they are definitely going about it the right way. If Intuit won’t devote the resources to correct this, then I will certainly be going elsewhere for my 2020 tax software.
Apple's current software development kit (SDK) only supports 10.14 and higher. Vendors who want to make programs compatible with older software versions have to use an older SDK. That means reduced support from Apple, and an inability to take advantage of Apple's newest features and programming APIs. Turbtotax chooses to use the current SDK, which means dropping support for older computers. It's actually pretty remarkable that Apple computers were upgradable for several major system versions over 9 years. How many 9 year old PCs are still running?
Incidentally, since Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 7, the PC version of Turbotax no longer supports Win 7.
