You can use TurboTax online because you will be using the Chrome browser, which is supported. You will not be able to install the software on a ChromeBook.
I just want to make sure. If I buy a chromebook that has Windows operating system will I be able to do my taxes with the windows software I already bought?
What are the downsides of using Chromebook with TurboTax. Will the program auto fill and carryover losses, etc.
Yes, you can use a Chromebook to prepare your taxes using the online version of TurboTax. However, you will not be able to download TurboTax to your Chromebook. There should be no downsides as your Chromebook uses the chrome browser.
Greetings,
Is there an app I can get to download a prior year, which is a Windows download. I have a HP Chromebook Model 14 - with AMD processor.
Thanks,
Kathy
@jazziekat115 No. To prepare a prior year return you have to use desktop software which can only be used on a full PC or Mac.
I can't even find the button that says DOWNLOAD product. 1) I read that I can use TT on Chromebook, but I can't download it. 2) My chromebook has no cd driver. So, 3) If I can't download it and I can't use the CD I have, HOW DO I USE TT?

The TurboTax software is only available for installation on personal computer with either a Windows or Mac Operating System.
@reg428 You cannot use the CD/download on a chromebook, but you can use online TurboTax.

Sorry, no. The TurboTax software can only be installed on personal computer using either Windows or Apple operating system.
No. You need a full Windows or Mac computer. You can use the Online web version.

If you have a Chromebook you can use online TurboTax, but you cannot use the CD/download. In order to use the CD/download you need a full PC or Mac.
Doing it on line. Can I save it to my computer. I need more time to work because of my eyes tiring.
@Harry77 Your return is saved in your online account when you use online TurboTax. You do not have to finish it all at once. You can log out and come back to work on it later. Just make sure to use the same account and user ID to log in again.
Frustrating - as my older computer that I have used with Turbotax for year (with windows) requires some Net 4.8 download which doesn't work on my computer. Now I have purchased a product I cannot use. :(
Need to fix this Intuit!!
@Willmj507 If your computer does not meet the system requirements to support using the CD/download, you can use online TurboTax instead.
Did you already purchase the CD/download?

@xmasbaby0 Thanks but the online version is more expensive than the desktop/cd download for windows/mac. Too bad have used TurboTax for many years. Now will have to request refund / take back to Costco. Not in the plan when I purchased.
