Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I've  been a TT user for at least past 12 years with no issues. Purchase TT 2020 only to find out it will not run on my Mac unless I upgrade my computer at a cost of over $2000.

 

I am using High Sierra 10.13.6 which will not run TT 2020.

 

Any work arounds


Unfortunately that is Apples doing.    To develop and compile Mac software the Apple provide Developers Tools must be used and Apple has dropped support for OS earlier then 10.14.

 

A developer CAN use an older version  of the tools but then they would not have Apple support if problems arise and the developed software will not have the latest features that users want.

 

Some software companies put out different versions for different OS's but they do not produce 3 new Mac produces every year and have 10-15 updates that tax software does, as the IRS makes form changes available.   Maintaining 6 different versions and 60 plus updates simply is not practicable for the ever shrinking number of users with 6-9 year old Macs.
