Can anyone conclusively confirm or deny that TurboTax for Mac 2022 will or will not run on the current version of macOS?

Apparently, the current version is macOS 13.0.1 Ventura released on November 9, 2022:

Are you sure? I'm not subscribed to any beta testing programs. I believe MacOS Ventura is fully released to the Mac user general public and is up to version 13.0.1.

I have updated my computer and many other third party apps are already posting their Ventura compatible versions. I'm very reluctant to purchase TurboTax for the 2022 tax year until the Intuit system requirements page adds macOS Ventura 13 to the "Specific MacOS" list as extracted from the Intuit website a few minutes ago:

Operating Systems

macOS Big Sur 11 or later (macOS Catalina 10.15 not supported)

Specific macOS: macOS Big Sur 11, macOS Monterey 12

It is not called a beta test. It is an unfinished early release - we refer to it as 'beta". Turbotax does this to compete with other tax software - Buy early and lock the customer in. The software will require a series of updates before Jan when filing season opens.

The only way to find out if the current release will work with Ventura is to try it - should unless Ventura really broke something.

I know of no reason that it would not. The system requirements say Mac Big Sur or later.

Yes, I read that in this thread on system requirements in which you referred to the official page on system requirements.

But, as @Paul505 pointed out in that thread, that page does not list macOS 13 Ventura among in its list of Specific macOS versions, which includes only:

macOS Big Sur 11
macOS Monterey 12

Why doesn’t it also include macOS 13 Ventura?

Only beta versions are available now and they are far from finished and complete. Since that OS is new, it must be tested. There will be many updates and changes prior to the start of filling season in January.

Can you be more specific about what exactly isn’t working for you?

What exactly are the versions of TurboTax and macOS that you are using?

Thank you.

I just spend 3 hours with Intuit Support the download version does not work with MacOS Ventura 13.1, I also tried with MacOS Monterey 12.6 same issue when it tries to load the file it shows the following message,

"TurboTax can't be updated when it's running from a read-only volume like a disk image or an optical drive. Move TurboTax to your Applications folder and relaunch it from there."

I was running the file from the Application folder , I also tried running it from the Download folder same result no matter which folder you use

It seems that the image is constructed as a CD and not a download , when you open Get Info on the Mac_TurboTax_Download.dmg file and expand the Sharing Permissions the privilege I set to read & write for all users and still has the same issue so is a bad file not sure what they going fix it but a shame I have all my taxes in a my MAC if some one from Intuit wants to contact me at [email address removed] be happy to show them the problem.
