Win10 not supported = I am out

After 25 years of using Turbotax products, it looks like this is the end.  The decision to not support Windows 10 for 2025 tax season forces me to find a different software to do my taxes.  I am not spending money to replace my perfectly working PC just because Microsoft thinks it is outdated for Win 11.

 

I will NOT use Turbotax Online because security is priority for me.  There is no way I put all of my sensitive information in Turbotax's servers or cloud environment.  As far as I am concerned, companies are the bigger targets for hackers to break through and steal from.

I don't think it's definite whether TaxAct or H&RB will actually support W10 for 2025 taxes either.

 

You probably have to wait until December or January to know for sure what those companies will require......so plenty of time to  decide what to do.

 

Of course, if those companies see what is happening at TTX they may decide to keep W10 in order to scrape up the unhappy TTX folks.
