In the past with TurboTax, when software says "or later" it refers to that operation system VERSION. Big Sur is not an Intel based operating system, so it is completely different than OS Mojave.

Please respond that Min REQ does support OS Big Sur.

The ONLY info available now is what has been posted.

You can try installing it.  If it doesn't work you can get a refund.

TurboTax used the Apple supplied developer tools so if Apple tools supports it then it should work.    Big Sur will run in Intel based Macs.

Big Sur runs on the following Macs:

• MacBook: Early 2015 or newer.
• MacBook Air: Mid 2013 or newer.
• MacBook Pro: Late 2013 or newer.
• Mac Mini: Late 2014 or newer.
• iMac: Mid 2014 or newer.
• iMac Pro.
• Mac Pro: Late 2013 or newer.

Are the listed minimum system requirements for the disc version or the download version, or both?  My MacBook uses MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6.

[VolvoGirl]

For both.  The Download is the same as the CD.

[Critter-3]

CD and download are the same thing and have the same requirements... If you cannot upgrade your system and do not want to buy a new computer then you can still use the ONLINE version instead.

I have a iMac with Sierra 10.13.6 and Apple tells me I can't upgrade to 

Mojave or later.  This would mean that I have to buy a new computer.

Not really what I want to do; I am a senior and semi retired.  Any suggestions?

[American]

I have been using the disc version; do you think the download requirement is different? I wouldn't think so.

You can use the TurboTax online editions for tax year 2020 - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/

If you used the TurboTax desktop editions for tax year 2019 you can transfer the 2019 tax data to the 2020 online tax return.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for transferring prior year tax data from your computer to the current year online editions - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/entering-importing/help/how-do-i-transfer-last-year-s-return-into-...
