Intuit says they are not supporting running TurboTax 2025 running on Windows 10 because it will not be secure, but they do support running the Canadian version of TurboTax 2025 on Windows 10. So, I guess if I'm Canadian security doesn't matter to Intuit.

Which version are we waiting for?

Can you clarify what you are asking about when the items were purchased?  When did you buy house?  When was it first placed in service as a rental (made available to be rented)?  And are you saying you bought some of the items in the cost seg study at a later date?
