2020 TurboTax waiver to use windows 7

After 11 years of using TurboTax I will not be a customer anymore. I will not upgrade my windows computer for 1 program. Intuit should at lease offer a waiver to use the newest software on Windows 7. I understand the risks of using an outdated OS. I have a good firewall, virus software also I rarely use windows 7 computer online. Getting TurboTax updates is one of the few times computer is even plugged into network.

Thank you Intuit for providing a good easy to use tax software.

 

Good bye

Without any info, I'll assume you have Windows 7, since that is the title of this thread you're posting in.   2020 TurboTax requires Windows 8 or higher.   Windows 7 is not supported.

 

If you wish, you can use Online TurboTax instead to prepare a 2020 return, since it uses a browser.  But it's a separate product, and your CD purchase will not qualify to pay for Online TurboTax.  So you can ask for a refund for the CD.

 

If the store/site where you purchased the CD won't give you a refund, you can use this online refund request to seek a refund from TurboTax.
