When I choose "Buy now" for TurboTax Business the only option for download is PC/Windows. Where's the Mac version?

TurboTax Home & Biz Mac

Best answer by macuser_22

TT Business is, and has always been, Windows only - there is no Mac version and it is doubtful if there will be anytime soon since Mac only has about 14.5% of the US market and most of that is personal use computers, not business. I doubt that TurboTax marketing sees a large enough Mac market to justify the development, and maintenance costs until the see a larger market.

Many Mac users just purchase a cheap PC to run Business which is easier (and possibly cheaper) than running Parallels and purchasing the Windows software.

According to the US Census Bureau in 2016 the latest statistics available there were over 5 million business with 20 or fewer employees who all need to file tax returns each year. 14.5% would be 725,000 paying $160 for the software would be $116 million. I can't believe that is not enough money to develop a Mac version.
