Remember there are now FREE options to continue getting Win 10 updates. Use 1K reward points or use their backup. The way I understand it, we should be getting notifications regarding this via Windows Update.

  I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2  (or 1099)      W-2's come from employers.  There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.     TurboTax does not have a copy of your W-2—the Wage & Tax Statement—issued to you by your employer, (nor does TurboTax have copies of your 1099’s).   You should always save those documents for your own records. You could ask the employer(s) for copies or you can get a copy from Social Security (for a fee of $62).   To get a copy of a W-2 from Social Security https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501   https://www.irs.gov/help-resources/tools-faqs/faqs-for-individuals/frequently-asked-tax-questions-answers/irs-procedures/transcript-or-copy-of-form-w-2/transcript-or-copy-of-form-w-2     If you saved a pdf of your completed tax return, the worksheets will show the W-2 information you entered, but not the actual W-2.   You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS:  It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received.  It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript   Or you can pay the IRS $30 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s      https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf      https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/get-copy-w-2/L8FTim9MO_US_en_US?uid=m68ee4os    

What a lie, saying this is for security when a person can still get security updates for Windows 10 for $30.00 .  Also, without any updates you would still be secure and like 100 percent of apps I have now will run on Windows 11 without any changes to the apps.  So there isn't any difference, the programs will run in either environment.   Not using their stupid cloud which is less secure and can be hacked by anyone who really wants in, we all seen the hack to other major companies- even government.  Here is the lie I received:   Hi there, We’re reaching out to provide an update on TurboTax Desktop software for tax year 2025. After October 14, 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide software updates, technical assistance, or security fixes for Windows 10 operating system. Because security is a top priority for us, TurboTax Desktop software for tax year 2025 onwards will not be compatible with Windows 10 operating system. To use TurboTax Desktop software for tax year 2025, your computer will need to run on Microsoft Windows 11 operating system. You can also consider switching to TurboTax Online, which will work on any supported browser (available December 2025). For more resources and additional information about this change, go to this help article: How does the end of support for Windows 10 affect my TurboTax Desktop experience? Thanks for being part of the TurboTax family. Warm regards, The TurboTax Team

@randob  Did you install today's updates? The changes are only in the update that was released today (8/21/25).   Did you check the box at the top of the column where it says "Check box to use 2025 tax rates"? You have to check that box to get the higher SALT limit.  

Sorry, You can't install or reinstall or update 2019 anymore. They only support the last 3 years and took off 2019 when they moved 2022 to the past year section. And 2019 was the first year they started using the License Code to activate the program so it has to log into Turbo Tax. You can't activate it now. It will fail. If you need to see the tax return and didn't save the pdf file, you could try the TaxPrinter service to convert a .tax2019 file to pdf at https://www.taxprinter.com  

Thank you. I've been able to update 2024. Now I'll go back to previous 3 years. I did not see the option to input this number during the Step by Step process. If it's not there, I strongly suggest that it's added. There's significant $$ left on the table, otherwise. Howard

That may be true but I will not be using the online service on principal alone. I know I'm a very small fish in a big sea but they will not be getting any money or any other reward from me. These big companies don't give a hoot about whether paying customers like their corporate decisions or not. They feel they are so big that no longer matters anymore. That being said I'm still gone.

I just received the email today. I'm also under the impression that we can get windows support for another year. I don't know why intuit would drop support. It doesn't make sense for me to buy a new computer just for turbo tax, which is the only program that requires it.    I've been a TT user for nearly 30 years now. V disappointed with this announcement. I'm only interested in using desktop software for tax, not cloud, and will have to consider other options at this point. Very disappointing. 

This complete BS! Windows is providing support for Win 10 for at least another year if you pay. I have been using TurboTax for a very long time. I am not looking forward to finding new tax software but you leave me no choice. Disgusted is an understatement.
