You can download both Windows and Mac with your purchase. Since you now have to log into an Intuit Account to install it all your downloads and licenses are listed there (even if you bought it from somewhere else) so if you need to download to install it again or install on another computer, even on the other operating system (Windows, Mac). And the download will always be up to date with all the updates. See this, at the bottom Common Questions- How to switch from one operating system to the other How to install TurboTax CD/Download software with license code

Actually, the Microsoft Windows 10 ESU program is available for thirty-five more months for businesses, but never mind that, even the eleven more months (for personal users), offers important breathing room for shopping for, and migrating to, replacement systems that can take advantage of eleven-months-from-now hardware advances... And it gives Microsoft eleven more months to wring out some of the unpopular --- some would say appalling --- issues with Windows 11... But let's not go there... That's another topic.

The same happened to me too looks like TurboTax 2025 version was automatically purchased. I guess it’s because while doing 2024 taxes may be you subscribed to TurboTax advantage program and I think it automatically charges every year for TurboTax downloadable software in November. i didn’t know this was the case. I am thinking to call TurboTax support to give me refund as I do not need TurboTax to auto charge me every November for newer version.

I just got my email today from Turbotax announcing I could download my 2025 TTax ADVANTAGE DELUXE desktop software. I logged in and downloaded it. When I ran the executable to install, it just went through the process (as shown by the animated bar that shows progress), but nothing came up after that. I've tried installing it "as administrator" with no success. I use Nord VPN and also ESET Internet Security on this machine. Could they be the issue? Are others having difficulty installing the new 2025 software?

You can make summary entries. When TurboTax asks how you want to enter your sales, select "Sales section totals."

Good points. I see a $140 Windows 11 Mini PC as a disposable concession in favor of my decades-old familiarity with TurboTax. It would be too slow for our mainstream software applications, so after filing the tax return, I can see relegating it to a light-duty non-interactive chore such as streaming background music.

As a business owner, it’s important to know how you should treat payments you make to the people who work for you. The simplest explanation is that an “employee” has taxes withheld from their paychecks and receives a W-2 at tax time - while “contractors” receive a Form 1099-NEC (and are considered self-employed). In reality, the IRS has some common law rules on whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor.
These rules are generally based on how much control an employer has over the work and the type of business relationship. As a business owner, if you’re not sure how to classify your worker, the IRS will happily step in on your behalf and make the determination for you. If you get it wrong, your worker can reach out to the IRS themselves and have them “take a look” at all the facts and circumstances of your business relationship. That can be time-consuming and costly so it’s best to get it right from the start!

if it works it may be cheaper that what online costs. however, I'm guessing most desktop users will not go this route because it's W11 that they're opposed to. for example, if you don't make the proper selection when setting it up, you may find that documents you create are stored on the web in One Drive. that's exactly the thing desktops users are trying to avoid - having their documents stored in cyberspace. one drive, I know this for a fact because I created an Excel worksheet and found that without my explicit consent, because of the way I set up W11, it was stored in One Drive, whether this applies to only MS documents or others is unknown.
the other issues of getting a new computer, is installing all the apps that were on the old computer. some may fail (a fact even in compatibility mode). sometimes the OP downloaded the app from a website that no longer exists but needs to be registered to work.
for me I got W11 VM finally set up on my W10 and will try that, next would be W11 installed on second hard drive on my W10. last would be a cheap laptop.
some had suggested that all that's needed is to modify a line or so in the W10 registry. they say they'll report back on success or failure

Note an error in TurboTax for California Form 568 - For 2024, I marked that my business (an LLC) was closed in 2024. Possibly for that reason, line 3 "2024 annual Limited Liability Company tax" came out marked as zero !! There was no way to modify that line (needed to be 800 dollars) !! I spent over two hours on phone calls to TurboTax assistance but to no avail, so I had to file with this error (the form showed that I am due a refund, as I did pay the 800 earlier, as required). I just received a letter from the California Franchise Tax Board pointing out the error on my 568 form (i.e. zero balance, no refund, as I knew but TurboTax erred !!) Annoying that there's no way to tell TurboTax about errors -- I have few more ....

I have two laptops, one Windows and the other a Mac. I primarily use my Mac. I purchased the TurboTax Desktop Deluxe for my Mac. After I installed it I attempted to run the program but it would not open: it stated that it only runs on Mac OS version 13 or later. I have 11. I had to purchase the same product again for my Windows laptop. I was able to complete and file my taxes. Now, I want to return the first purchased and get a refund. The number [phone number removed] is not active. Is there any way I can return this product for a full refund?
