what are the system requirements for turbotax 2024 to run on an apple silicon computer with macos sequoia?

Is it possible that Intuit has failed to support the Apple Silicon chip that has been used for the past few years? I just purchased a new laptop and can't seem to run TurboTax Premier. Initial research indicates that there is a workaround using Rosetta 2 - can that possibly be accurate?

Rosetta would run TurboTax compiled for Intel CPU's more slowly in emulation mode on Apple Silicon CPU's.  TurboTax 2023 was built using Apple's Xcode development environment in which changing a setting would result in universal binary that would run natively at full speed on both Intel and Apple Silicon CPU's.  Those of us with Apple Silicon computers are paying a performance penalty even despite paying the full price for TurboTax.  The fact that Intuit hasn't built universal TurboTax binaries for the several years that this has been possible is inexcusable.
