I have used turbo tax on windows for 25 years. I moved to a Mac and can not purchase 2023 for my computer?

Can I buy Turbotax 2023 for my MAC and download from the Intuit web site?

first check that your MAC meets system requirements

Mac Desktop Products (Basic, Deluxe, Premier, and Home & Business)

Operating Systems

macOS Monterey 12 or later (macOS Big Sur 11 not supported)

Specific macOS: macOS Monterey 12, macOS Ventura 13, macOS Sonoma 14
RAM
2 GB or more recommended

Hard Disk Space
1 GB for TurboTax

Monitor
1024x768 or higher recommended

Internet Connection
1 Mbps modem (Broadband connection highly recommended). Required for product installation, activation, software updates and optional online features

Printer
Any Macintosh-compatible inkjet or laser printer - not needed unless you are going to print something. e-filing does not require a printer

 

It's the same download for Windows or MAC.  the download should install on any compatible Windows or MAC computer

other legitimate sites also offer the app.

Yes if your Mac meets the system requirements you can buy the personal versions.  Otherwise you can use the Online web  version if your Mac is too old.  

 

Mac System Requirements

You can buy the Desktop CD or the Download program here,
https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download

 

Or buy it in stores or online like at Costco, Amazon, Sam's etc.   The CD has both the Windows and Mac programs on it.  If  you buy the download be sure to pick the Mac download.  

 

You can transfer your 2022 from Windows to the Mac program.  You just need to copy the .tax2022 from the old computer to the Mac.  It should be in your Documents in a Turbo Tax folder.  Or search your computer for all files ending in .tax or .tax2022 etc.   You might want to copy all the .tax files and pdf files from prior years to have them on your Mac.  If you haven't done it you should open all  your prior returns and save them as PDF files.  

 

OR have you also used the separate Business program? (not to be confused with the Home & Business program).    That is only for Windows.  You can't install it on Mac.

Made you a screen shot of Deluxe.  When you buy from Turbo Tax you pick if you want the CD or Download and which computer.
