Hi Turbo Tax do you offer pc version of Turbo Tax 22/23 in a 32 bit operating system. I don't wish to buy a pc just for a 64 bit system. For what I do on a computer 32 system works fine. I have received the Turbo Tax cd.

The Minimum System Requirements for 2023 TurboTax specify "Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 11 (64-bit)."

The program is 64-bit and, according to @dmertz, has some 32-bit components.

Regardless, the program is sold in one version only.; 64-bit.

Would have helped if the OS requirement would have been on the "purchase" page.

I have the same issue. I bought turbotax. No indication on the outside that a 64 bit OS was required. Intuit needs to offer a 32 bit version.

To get your money back you have to include the CD with your refund request.

Maybe you can sell it to a friend.

I return the 2023 version of turbo tax since a 32 bit version was not available. I think intuit really dropped the ball with the decision to only offer a 32 bit version. I have programs I use all the time I am not willing to replace just to convert to 64 bitOS for one program. H&R offered a 32 bit system so for the first time in over 22 years I will not use TurboTax. When a company makes this type of change you would expect to see in large print on the front of the package a notice of the operating system requirements. You would think the company would have sent out a notice of the change to its existing customers when the decision was made to ditch the 32 bit version.

Give you a hint ... next year Block will not support a 32 bit either ... they lag behind in the changes a bit to get TT's cast offs like you but they will also change their program as they always do.

You can still use the TT online version instead.

FYI ... WIN 10 will no longer be supported by the end of this year so expect the ability to use WIN 10 to also be discontinued soon. My professional program already warned that the WIN 11 would be required for the 2024 program and was highly suggested for the 2023 program.
