System Requirements

I think my worst fear is coming true.  I just read that in order to use TT for 2021 taxes on my Mac, I have to use

macOS Catalina 10.15 or later.  I have El Capitan 10.11.6 and I don't have the money for a new computer.  Please tell me I read this wrong.

    If your computer does not meet the system requirements you would be able to use online TurboTax instead of the CD/download.

      Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!  I never use the CD.  I always do it online.  Phew!  What a relief!

        I didn't understand that they were talking about using the CD.  I'll be okay if I do it online, according to a previous comment.

        Thank you though.
