I just purchased 2020 TT Premier for Mac. When loading a message said the program would not function starting January 2021 unless the OS upgraded to Catalina or higher. I now have OS Mojave 10.14.6 and for other reasons will not upgrade to OS Catalina or higher.

Please advise if this limitation correct and what recourse possible.

Equipment: MacBook Air 13in. early 2015
Memory 8 Gigabyte
OS Mojave 10.14.6

Thank you

That is just a warning about NEXT year. Every year TurboTax is a NEW program for that tax year and is developed using the Apple supplies developer tools. Apple only support 3 years and will drop OSX 10.14 next year (they dropped 10.13 this year). This is an Apple decision and not TurboTax.

Thanks for very quick response. Yes, the alert was a wake up and surprising.Good to know I am good for year 2021 with the 2020TT Premier. I hesitate to upgrade my MacBook Air 2015 with OS Mojave 10.14.6. I also still use Excel for Mac 2011 ver. 14.7.7. This version of Excel not supported in new Mac OS such as Catalina. I have no need to update Excel as expensive & do not require all the functions. Now must try to figure out how I can continue into the future with these older versions of software or what can be substituted.

Thanks again
