No.  For 2025 You will need Mac OS Sonoma 14 or later

Was very disappointed to see Turbo Tax announce will only run on Sonoma and above.  Been using Turbo Tax for decades, but not willing to buy a new Mac just to run it.   I just downloaded H&R Block.  A little cheaper than Turbo Tax, runs on Mac OS back to 12.x, and will seamlessly import last year's Turbo Tax data.

Adios, Turbo Tax.

yup Intuit's position for a while has been to not support their s/w on unsupported OS versions which Apple has been rolling off annually, while HRB has been less strict.  If you use other third party apps like MS 365 or Adobe you'll probably stop getting updates for those also.

I think I'm more miffed at Apple than TT about this.  The cynical side of me sees it as an obvious ploy to try and force people to throw away perfectly good hardware every few years and buy new.  I would sooner switch to the Windows version of Turbo Tax (running in Parallels) than buy a whole new iMac just to do my taxes.

For now, HR Block seems the easiest answer.

yes general lifespan for Apple H/W based on the OS support seems to be about 7-8 years.  when you get to the point of replacement, check out Mac mini as an option rather than another iMac.  I got an M4 last year to replace a 2015 iMac that got stuck on Mac OS 11, using dual Dell monitors, works great and cheaper solution.

Wow. TurboTax, it's been nice but I just bought another Mac a few years ago just because TurboTax required it. 

I'm  others - if you want me to buy a new Mac just to run your software, you are mistaken. That in my opinion was a horrible strategic decision. 

Tax Cut only requires OS 12 on a Mac. I'm done forever with TurboTax. Amazing. That's millions in lost revenue.

Desktop s/w for Mac is less than 0.25% of their total revenue and they drop the latest unsupported Mac OS version every year.  But I agree you should certainly not buy hardware just to run Turbotax as they could easily turn around and drop Mac support altogether any time.
