Will TurboTax 2025 work with Windows 10?

[Timeforadifferenttaxprogram]

I've been a long time loyal customer to TurboTax but now it's time to find something different if everybody's going to hold me ran some for an equipment update on my computer you can all go to hell

Yeah, I have been using turbo tax for 20 years. H&R Block desktop is compatible with windows 10

Dear Intuit,

Add my name to the list of unhappy TTAX customers. I have been using TTax since it was first available on 5.25 inch on disks.

I have a Windows 10 PC that is not eligible for Windows 11. And from what I read about 11, I am not interested - even if my PC was upgradable.

I understand that an OS can become obsolete, but that is not the case here. As of January 2026, Windows 11 adoption in the U.S. and globally has stalled, with market share hovering around 50-53% and recently dipping.

Microsoft knows this - it is why Windows 10 security updates are free and available for at least another year. I am enrolled and have received several updates.

Windows 10 has been a popular OS, Windows 11 not so much. I understand that what Intuit has done will be necessary at some point, but now is premature.

The on-line services you offer are much more expensive then TTAX Deluxe Federal and State.

You are forcing me and other users to find alternative tax software - you are risking a significant loss of customers.

Do you really think this is a smart thing to be doing right now??

I am not upgrading a home computer just so I can run Turbo Tax. Sounds like H&R block works with Windows 10. Is there any way to transfer data from my previous Turbo Tax return to H&R Block? I could enter it manually I suppose but the carryover losses and depreciation of investment property will take some work. Are there other software options that work on windows 10.

It will not work because Turbotax did not go to the effort to update their code to work with Windows 10 which has 23 times more users than Windows 11.  Me a 40 year Turbotax customer.  My experience is that it was easier to switch to H&R Block than to upgrade to Win 11(itself a problem) and Turbotax.  (My tax: married couple joint file, extensive stock trading, no business, no earned income, retiree income, state income tax, standard deductions.) Turbotax broke the loyalty trust.

Turbotax broke the loyalty trust.   Turbotax 2025 + Windows 10 = No work without a nightmare of accommodations and downloading.  Nope, no worky.  But best of luck who want see for themselves. Note to Intuit, think of your customers first next time, if there is a next time.

What Intuit will not permit posting here is widely explained elsewhere by professional users not affiliated with competitors.

A participant in this website asks why is IT false? [IT]meaning that Intuit will not continue to support Windows 10. Here is why: quoting from Intuit: "TurboTax 2025 will not support Windows 10 because Microsoft has ended free technical support and security updates for that operating system, making it less secure for handling sensitive tax data.  As a result: TurboTax requires users to upgrade to Windows 11 to ensure better security and support."  Translation: "Microsoft will end free technical support and security updates for the Windows 10 operating system on October 14, 2025.  Because of this, TurboTax Desktop 2025 will only run on Windows 11 (64-bit). Source: Intuit Website January 25, 2026."  A popular conclusion is that Intuit failed to supoort its many former long time 40+ years users.

Briefly, I tried, and it means that despite using Windows 10 (2025) and all Windows 10 updates through January 10th 2026 that Intuit Turbo Tax 2025 will not calculate properly or complete the tax preparation required by the IRS. Perhaps Intuit could correct me if I am wrong or explain how to use Windows 10 (2025) safely as I prepare my taxes on my home computer and transfer my data directly to the IRS. I know I can do that safely using Windows 10 and  H&R Block (though I have not used H&R previously they assure me it is safe to use Windows 10.)

Lots of luck!

You are wrong!

The updates are for bug and security fixes. There won't be any feature updates / changes.

This is the heading of a Windows 11 article in a PC Magazine email (2/2/2026):

""We Need to Improve.' Microsoft Admits Windows 11 Has Too Many Annoying Bugs""

This is one of the reasons why so many people and corporations don't want to upgrade Windows 11. 

Intuit is suggesting On Line versions of Turbotax. The reviews on Amazon for Turbotax Delux 2025 are not good.
