Intuit doesn't list specific H/W requirements other than min recommended memory so I doubt they care or check for TPM etc, just Win 11 or not, however you got there.   https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/tta-system-requirements/   But hacking Turbo to run on Win 10 is probably the worst possible solution to this issue imo, as you will be invalidating support from Intuit (on top of an unsupported OS).  Maybe it'll work fine but any issues during your tax process with updates, forms, e-filing etc you'll be on your own.

Hi,    Thanks for the reply. Not sure what you mean by multiple accounts, I don't have multiple accounts. I only have one 1099-INT. My $88 is reported on the tax form as it is on my 1099 minus the 34 cents. 

The cents won't be material, the issue they are reporting is a whole account missing entirely (e.g. your $88 wasn't reported at all).  It's apparently some issue for certain 1099s that had multiple accounts reported like CDs, likely on multiple pages on the 1099-INT.

Technical arguments about end of technical support and ESU aside, it's really just a business decision by Intuit as they determined there would not be enough demand to make it worth their while to release and support a Win 10 version.  See post from VP below (fwiw).   Desktop Turbotax revenue ($200mil) is only 1% of Intuit's $20bil revenue, they sell 35mil "units" of higher revenue online/live service vs. 4mil users of "low" revenue desktop (incl Mac), so desktop has 10% of the total Turbotax user base for only 5% of the total Turbotax revenue.   Turbotax revenue overall is expected to grow 8% in 2026 while desktop is declining 5%.  etc.   They're also cutting bait on ItsDeductible which only had 100k users, and the Desktop Basic edition.   Clearly they're ok losing hundreds of thousands of users out of a base of 40mil if revenues are growing everywhere else.  For most users who will inevitably be on Win 11 a year from now, it's a choice whether to deal with it in the next few months and keep tax process intact, or spend time changing tax process and then have to upgrade 6 months later anyway.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/articles/community-news-announcements/turbotax-windows-10-desktop-software-end-of-life/05/3708302   https://investors.intuit.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1266/intuit-reports-strong-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-fiscal-2025-results-sets-fiscal-2026-guidance-with-double-digit-revenue-growth-and-continued-operating-margin-expansion

When farmland is sold it is treated as a capital asset unless it was used in an active farming business. The sale would normally be reported on either Form 8949 and Schedule D of your tax return. These forms calculate the gain or loss on the sale price of the property minus the adjusted basis (the Price you paid for the property plus improvements, minus depreciation if the property was used for business use).    If the land was part of the farming business operation, any building, equipment, or depreciable improvement sold with the land needs to be reported separately on the Form 4797 for business property. This is due to the fact the IRS treats your gain from depreciated assets differently than the land. It is important to separate these amounts in your records.    In summary:  Personal use or investment farmland → Report on Form 8949/Schedule D Business use farmland → Report land on Schedule D, report improvements on Form 4797  For more details see IRS Publication 225 - Farmer’s Tax Guide.

Gifts given to family members, friends or other individuals are not deductible.   Gifts received are not taxable to the person who received the gift, and are not entered on a tax return.   If your gift exceeds the yearly limit ($19,000 per individual)  imposed by the gift tax rules, then you will need to complete a Form 709 gift tax form and send it to the IRS, although it is very unlikely that you will owe any tax.   TurboTax does not support Form 709.  It is not an income tax form and would not be included as part of an income tax return.   Here is a link to the form: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f709.pdf   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/estates/the-gift-tax-made-simple/L5tGWVC8N     Here's a link for Form 709 preparation software:  https://www.puritas-springs.com/product-category/federal   Here are some useful videos on the Form:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5wJow5h-No   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z_28sVOrTY  

Since your child lives with you full-time and you cover all major expenses, you’re generally the one eligible to claim her as a dependent. However, because her adoptive parents still have legal rights, consult a tax professional or IRS Publication 501 to confirm based on custody and support rules before filing.    

If the bank account you entered for your direct deposit is closed, the refund will be sent back to the third party bank that handles refund processing.   They will then have to issue a check and mail it to the address on your tax return.  Make sure the address on your Form 1040 is the correct address, or the problem will become more complex.     REFUND PROCESSING FEE     If you chose to have your fees deducted from your federal refund, but entered wrong or closed bank account information for your direct deposit, you are going to have an aggravating, frustrating situation.  Your refund will go back to the third party bank. The third party bank might issue and mail you a check, or they might send your refund back to the IRS and then you will have to wait for the IRS to mail you a check.     If the third party bank mails the check, it will come in a plain envelope via first class mail so make sure you open all mail and do not assume anything is junk mail without opening it.  While you are waiting, make sure that the address you entered on your tax return is correct, or your problem will be even worse.   How can I see my TurboTax  fees?    https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US?uid=m682vq7k   What is Refund Processing Service?         Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, LLC  (SBTPG) is the bank that handles the Refund Processing Service when you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your refund.

Yes, that is the correct approach. You are accurate that selling personal-use items (whether clothing, furniture, or household goods, etc.) in a transaction that results in a loss (less than the original purchase price) means the loss cannot be deducted, but it would not count as taxable income either! A 1099-K issued to you should be reported with a cost basis equal to the sales price, so that the gain/loss nets to zero. This is the correct approach to demonstrate to the IRS that you have not omitted any income.    When you amend your return, just add the 1099-K to the records you will submit and provide documentation indicating this was a personal item sold at a loss (receipts or photographs or notes are a reasonable documentation of personal items). IRS just wants to see that your amended return now matches the 1099-K sent to them, so this is reducing audit flags, rather than increasing them.   If you never intended to run a resale business, this is also fine to do if it is clear they are personal items. Just keep copies of your amendment and supporting documentation if the IRS ever wanted clarity.   (Optional helpful reference: IRS Topic No. 409 – Capital Gains and Losses)

Based on your description, the answer is generally yes — shifting a home equity loan to a reverse mortgage will usually constitute a refinance. This is since you are adding a new lien to the property (your old loan being paid off) essentially means refinancing.   Within that framework, the new lien is a reverse mortgage, and they operate a bit differently, relative to your mortgage loan. Instead of making payments every month, the reverse mortgage will pay you back using your equity in the property. This is outlined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in the section on Home Equity Conversion Mortgages - they talk specifically about the prior debts being paid off to setup the reverse mortgage.   To understand how a reverse mortgage fits the refinance definition you inquired about, the explanation on reverse mortgage's HECM refinance guide outlines the definition and benefits, including the if you qualify for a refinance under their switching lender rule exemptions for reverse mortgages.    So yes, while it is technically a refinance, the distinction from a non-reverse mortgage refinance is that you were not adjusting the terms of a fixed payment instead, you are converting your home equity into cash flow.

If you have not yet e-filed:   You have to go to Step 2 in the FILE section.   HOW TO CHANGE OR ENTER BANKING INFORMATION FOR REFUND https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/change-transferred-direct-deposit-information/L77NCbU6D_US_en_US?uid=m6tuh572     You cannot  change banking information while your return is in pending, nor can you change it after the return is accepted.  The IRS does not allow it.

Sorry--no.   The TurboTax experts do not provide help with past year tax returns.  They will only help with current year returns.   If you need help with past year returns, seek local paid help or other software if you are not able to use the TT desktop download software.
