I have used Turbo Tax for 20 years. It won't install on my Windows 10 computer. Do I have to switch to another software, like H&R Block? Or is there a work around

Is there a real person anywhere.

If you can’t find another computer you can install it on you can switch to the Online version.

 

You can transfer from 2024 Desktop tax return into the Online version.   So be sure to have the .tax2024 file on your computer.

Here's some info about using the Online version.

If you used the Desktop program before you may notice several differences and not like the online version. It has less features and no Forms Mode. The Online versions don't have all the same forms so you might have to upgrade to a higher Online version. You can only do 1 return per account. Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2025 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done. In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something. You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.

There is a workaround if your computer has the capacity and you know the steps, which you can find on the web. You can create a VM to run W11 on what is a Windows 10 computer.

OR

 

if you have the capacity to install or have a second hard drive with other steps you can find on the web, you can even install W11 without creating a VM. Of course, anything on that drive will be wiped, and if you want your W10 apps to run on this drive, they will need to be reinstalled. I can almost guarantee some will not work.
