The 2020 Mac desktop version will require OSX 10.14 or higher because Apple no longer supports earlier systems in the developer tools that Apple supplies for compiling Mac software.   That is a Apple decision - not TurboTax.

Checking to inquire about the OS requirements for a MAC in using Turbo Tax for filing a 2020 return.

What about system requirements for a PC based system since I have access to both tho clearly prefer the MAC having used it for many years.  Thanks.
