No reason given.  It clearly was a business decision based, almost certainly, on resources being spent on a money-losing and under-utilized product. Intuit is in business to make a profit and has a duty to its shareholders to do so.

MORE INFO  on  Turbo Tax info on Windows 10 End of Life https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/articles/community-news-announcements/turbotax-windows-10-desktop-software-end-of-life/05/3708302 And it says the Online version will have some new features over the Desktop program like… This year, we’re offering many new ways to automatically bring in your tax documents into TurboTax Online, including uploading PDFs of 1099-B and 1099-Composite forms.

Yes you will need to use Online Premium.  It has all the same forms as the Desktop programs including Premier.   Be sure to have the 2024 return file ending in .tax2024 on your computer so  you can transfer it into the online version next year.     If you used the Desktop program before you may notice several differences and not like the online version. It has less features and no Forms Mode. And you will have to pay first to see all the forms. All the Online versions do not have the same forms so you may need to upgrade to a higher version. You can only do 1 return per account. And pay for each account. You can use the same email for 5 accounts. Federal and state are separate fees. Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2025 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done.   In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something. You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.   

@Ashlen123 No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/contact-turbotax/L2y9ZKpQB_US_en_US?uid=m5s9l2vh

Precisely! I think this was an unconscionable thing to do. No reason given. No work around given. No real apology given. Just saying it'll be gone on October 21st. I would still hate the action they took, but if they had at least waited until the TurboTax 2025 had come out, I would accept it because it worked seamlessly before. This just makes them look like a bad business to deal with. I'd like to see an apology that really looks like an apology along with concrete work-around information. (Or maybe it conflicts with the Big Beautiful Bill?????)

done deals - MS ended life of Win 10 as planned, Intuit released their min system specs for Win 11 as expected and also canned ItsDeductible as promised.  As we've been discussing on all the other threads for 2 months they really have no reason to reverse course for a decision impacting less than 1% of their revenues and small % of their user base.
