Sorry no.  This year you need macOS Monterey 12 or later to install Turbo Tax. You need to upgrade your computer or find another computer (Mac or Windows) to install it on. If you can't install the Desktop program, you can use the Online version.


MAC system requirements,

If you used the Desktop program last year here’s How to transfer into the Online version, expand the blue link if you used the CD/download last year

If you used the Desktop program before you may notice several differences and not like the online version. It has less features and no Forms Mode. You can only do 1 return. Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2023 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done. In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something. You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.

 

You can't apply the Desktop CD/Download purchase to Online. You have to pay for Online separately. You will have to get a refund for the Desktop program. Then you can use the Online web version. Or try to upgrade your computer or find another computer to install it on. The CD has both Windows and Mac programs on it.
