Apple Silicon Support in TT 2024

Ugh. I bought desktop 2025 Premier and never noticed anywhere that it was Intel only until I went to install it and got prompted to install Rosetta. Well, I procrastinated on my taxes so now I kinda have no choice but to do this. But man, that's so ugly.

 

I agree with earlier posts in this thread that it shouldn't be that hard to produce a universal binary version. It seems clear they're trying to push us to the online version of TurboTax, which I want to do even less than I want to install Rosetta.

 

For tax year 2026 I guess I'll be looking for other options. What a shame.

Both windows and macOS versions of TurboTax use the same file formats, this suggests that both apps are developed with the same IDE. I think if it were as easy as checking off a checkbox they would have done this 5 years ago. It is just incredibly weird that Intuit is being totally silent on this subject! Internal memos suggest that they may discontinue desktop software for both macOS and windows. Only a minority of people use the desktop version, whether we’re talking about Windows or macOS; the vast majority of TurboTax customers use the online version. 
It was much easier to develop code for both windows and Mac when we still had Intel processors, exclusively. Now that Intel is going to disappear completely from Windows machines and macOS, the landscape is totally different.

Update on universal binary support below from Intuit tech team - they are working on it for TY26, and at least TY25 for backwards support; TY24 support is TBD
