@mrdotpc Please see the TurboTax FAQ links below for system requirements and help installing the TurboTax software:
So my computer has 6GB of RAM and turbo tax is detecting that it doesn't met system requirements. It is running windows 8.1 and meets all other system requirements.
From looking around the internet it seems this maybe a problem for several of your customers.
Is there a solution other than one that is a general step by step guide that you regurgitate to every problem?
the issue is the turbo tax installation package. it should not be rejecting install if insuffient requirenments. ask the tech team to modifiy the package. If it finds insufficient requirements it should ask you if you wish to continue not prevent you. All machines have the requirements I had no problem using this machine for the last three years with TurboTax went 2gig RAM was required so please have your software technicians fix this before April please

Says my notebook doesn’t meet minimum requirements
Memory (2048MB)
Notebook has 2GB of RAM with 1.86 usable
I used this same notebook last year although it was the Premiere version, no problem. This year Deluxe
Bought thru Amazon, should I just contest the charge since I never activated ?
Any rec’s for my situation Block or TaxAct ? I want something that pulls info from brokers
@Bang4dabuck Please take note of these Windows Requirements:
Processor: Pentium 4 or Athlon or later
Hard Drive Space
Please don't overlook the processor requirement and the 4.5 GB for the Microsoft .NET. These 2 reasons are, most likely, why your computer is not compatible.
To request a refund, You can use this link, How do I request a refund for my TurboTax product?
You can also use the TurboTax Online product, to pull in your brokerage information.
Pretty sure that for those that are having problems with 2 GB RAM that is exactly the problem. They should not state 2 GB of RAM or more but simply more than 2GB, 2.048 to be exact. I was told to use the online version available on Intuit website. Missed it by that much ... and it SUCKS and a big waste of time
I have an i3 which is suppose to be better than Pentium 4.
I also have 44GB of free space. It’s pointing at MEMORY when it kicks it back. Probably spent more time dicking around with trying to install than I will doing my taxes. Definitely should’ve thought long and hard about adjusting the program rather than changing the system requirements but I bet they didn’t
I am Having the same problem with installing my 2020 turbo software 🙃 Did you get it to work?
Same here I did 2016 trough 2019 downloaded software with no problem!
Those are generic instructions that don't help. Why does the manual install not see all the ram in your system. If I reboot into safe mode it doesn't even see the install. A very unhappy customer.
