Because there isn't a way to update your prior-year tax software to handle new tax laws, you'll need to buy TurboTax 2025 if you want to use TurboTax to prepare this year's taxes.

Also, we have to stop supporting old operating systems (for example, Windows XP and Mac OS X v10.9) when their manufacturers no longer support them.
