Not disagreeing with you but only pointing out that the only safe alternative is to prepare your return manually and then print and mail. Intuit (TurboTax) is no different (better or worse) than any of the others.

Am hoping they are better.
Best wishes to you.

Best wishes to you as well and they are NOT better. I've been there and done that.

I don't understand the justification, given if its all all about risk and shirking market then why not just let things be?  Obviously the other software providers dont see any problems with W10 security.  Plus what makes Intuit online any more secure or the customer's data being any less subject to potential Intuit subscription fees?    Neither I like.    Anyone dealing with anything online  knows what its like when the system decides your ID/password alone isn't sufficent, and its time to extract more sensitive personal data from you for the sake of security by holding your email or bank account as ransom, while it tortures you with infinite questions and task.

I think it's fairly simple:

1) They want to develop for the current OS In the event something untoward occurs with updates that would not be applicable to Windows 10.

2) Testing the software, along with each update, on the new and old OS consumes resources.

3) Tangentially, I believe, they would like some to simply move to online preparation and use the services provided with the online products, 

Right, wrong, or misguided, it's their decision to make.
