The desktop programs came out today Nov 6 (Nov 4 if you have the Advantage membership).   If you bought the License Code have you tried to download and install it here?   How to get started with the Desktop program, install and activate it https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/product-delivery/download-software-turbotax-com/L7u9oLEkq_US_en_US?uid=luqgvzrd

The in-place upgrade of my Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 virtual machine to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 was successful, with no issues noted (except that Windows 11 is a pig :@)   It turns out that this virtual machine did not have a virtual TPM chip enabled in the virtual hardware.  But TurboTax for TY2025  installed just fine, and activated without a hitch.  So there should be no need for a TPM chip on a physical PC -- at least as far as TurboTax 2025 is concerned.   See screenshot below after TurboTax was activated (this is Home & Business edition).  Again, it's obvious they really want to move us off the Desktop product ASAP.   Also @VolvoGirl this answers your question as to whether or not migration to the Online product requires any further payment.  Apparently that's not required (for now at least).  However, per the dialog "TurboTax Online is available starting December 17, 2025".  Also note all this extra fine print:   *Includes one federal and state return. Additional fees apply for more returns, upgrades, and add-ons. File by April 16, 2026.  $10 Retail Club credit and TurboTax Advantage benefits such as Audit Defense, do not transfer to TurboTax Online.  

Hi,   Thank you for your reply. I received several emails from Intuit inviting me to register for this training. You're right, I tried to access it from Canada. If this training is intended for U.S. citizens, I was wondering why we received these emails.

The shutters, if they qualify at all, must be installed and paid for by December 31, 2025 in order to claim the credit. You have to enter the "Qualified Manufacturer Identification Number" (QMID) of the shutters on your tax return in order to claim the credit. That's what Opus 17 referred to as a PIN. You have to get that number from the manufacturer or the seller. If you don't have the QMID you don't get the credit. I also want to emphasize something that Opus 17 said above. The credit would apply only to the cost of the shutters themselves, not the cost of labor to install them, so you need a receipt that breaks down the cost.  

@Bsch4477 wrote: Interior shutters would not qualify but exterior shutters meeting the requirements will. You must get a Manufacturer's Certification Statement for the specific product you purchase. This documentation is required for your tax records and substantiates that the product meets all applicable requirements for the tax credit.  Exterior windows are eligible. (I don't know of too many houses that have interior windows.)   Shutters are not windows.  They would only qualify if they are "a system designed primarily and specifically to reduce heat gain or loss".  And if they are such a system (I have doubts) then it doesn't matter if they are interior or exterior.   And if you want to call it a "window" for purposes of the credit, remember that in 2025 you must include the manufacturer's PIN code for the window, it's a new requirement.  

Doubtful it actually qualifies.    Interior or exterior is not the defining characteristic.  What you are talking about is a "Building envelope component."  This means  (A) any insulation material or system, including air sealing material or system, which is specifically and primarily designed to reduce the heat loss or gain of a dwelling unit when installed in or on such dwelling unit, (B) exterior windows (including skylights), and  (C) exterior doors.   To qualify, the building envelope component must meet "the prescriptive criteria for such component established by the most recent International Energy Conservation Code standard in effect as of the beginning of the calendar year which is 2 years prior to the calendar year in which such component is placed in service."   So for your shutters to qualify, they must  (1) be a "system" specifically and primarily designed to reduce heat gain or loss (and not primarily designed for looks) and (2) they must be listed in the 2023 IEEC codebook and meet or exceed the 2023 IEEC standards.   If so, you can claim a credit of 30% of the cost of materials, not including installation, up to a maximum of $1200.      ========== Building envelope components To qualify, building envelope components must have an expected lifespan of at least 5 years. Qualified components include new: Exterior doors that meet applicable Energy Star requirements. Credit is limited to $250 per door and $500 total. Exterior windows and skylights that meet Energy Star Most Efficient certification requirements. Credit is limited to $600 total. Insulation and air sealing materials or systems that meet International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) standards in effect as of the beginning of the calendar year that is 2 years prior to the calendar year in which such component is placed in service. For example, materials or systems installed in 2025 must meet the IECC standard in effect on Jan. 1, 2023. These items don't have a specific credit limit, other than the maximum credit limit of $1,200. Insulation and air sealing materials or systems are they only types of qualifying property that do not have to meet the qualified manufacturer and PIN requirements. Labor costs for installing building envelope components don't qualify for the credit. 

So TurboTax 2025 is using an InstallShield compiled "SetUp.exe" to install the app.  Process Monitor shows that SetUp.exe does query the usual "ProductName" and "CurrentVersion" value items in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion.   However I don't think SetUp.exe is actually using the info in those value items to determine the Windows version.  For instance, Windows 10 and Windows 11 both show the same CurrentVersion of "6.3".  Also, my Windows 10 VM shows ProductName "Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021" while my Windows 11 VM shows "Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024".  Yeah, they both say "Windows 10" there (go figure!), but show different years.   So I tried editing the ProductName registry entry in my Windows 10 VM to instead show "2024".  Unfortunately InstallShield was too clever for that and it still gave me the same warning.  However the TT installer does work correctly in my Windows 11 VM.   Next step will be to do an in-place upgrade of my Windows 10 VM to Windows 11.  Since it's a VM, I can freely fiddle with the virtual hardware settings, including removing the virtual TPM.  That way we can confirm (or deny) that TurboTax itself cares about that "hardware feature".
