TurboTax Desktop 2025 will not be compatible with Windows 10

SIRS,

There is not one **bleep** thing that makes MS Win OS 11 any better than MS Win OS 10.

In my opinion, we as customers are worst off trying to use OS 11 as many of the features that were standard to the OS systems are now gone.

I for one WILL NOT BE CHANGING my computer system, and it is unrealistic of Intuit to expect your customers to be forced to spend money on something that is not needed.

CHANGE your policy.

Also 30+ year user of TurboTax but I just purchased a new HP laptop with Windows 11 for my wife.  Will download to her laptop for the 2025 version.

A bit surprising to me that TurboTax can be this misguided.

Not sure what you mean by your comments below.

TT is saying that unless you have MS Win 11 OS their 2025 version will not work.

I for one are dead set against giving MS any more money for useless upgrades that do not provide noticeable improvements.    I see nothing in MS Win 10 that was an enhancement over Win 8.1 and in looking at my wife's MS Win 11 system I see nothing there either that is an enhancement over Win 8.1 or Win 10.

Further, I am damned if I am going to spend more money with TT if they elect to put this restriction in place.

In one of the other comments, someone stated that the vast majority of the world still uses MS Win 10 and has not upgraded to Win 11.

Frankly, I will be exploring other OS systems that are compatible to the current applications that I use.

Corporately, Intuit and TT are cutting their own throats.

misguided, insane. to Intuit it's the bottom line that counts. it probably has projected that the revenue from those switching from desktop to online will offset the loss of desktop users.  desktop 5 returns for 1 fee online $139 for 1 return based on 2024 pricing.

I am another TurboTax user for more than 15 years who will NOT be upgrading unnecessarily to Windows 11.  I will not use an online version of TurboTax where I do not have control of my data.  My Windows 10 install is stable with proper security in place.  There is NO reason that TurboTax 2025 should not function with Windows 10 other than greed.  Intuit/TurboTax, you are losing me and thousands of customers due to this stupid decision.  Real bad business decision!!
