Right now, 2017 will not, don't know if they will update the software to do so.

Other years, you'll have to wait for a real mac person (I am not) and TTX isn't real good at communicating themselves @macuser_22 might know or have an opinion on the other years...

...like, will the 2014,2015 fix file that allows those two years to run on OS X 10.13...might the fix file also work to allow 2014 and 2015 to work on OS X 10.14 ?

The fix went this way for me: TT 2014 now works under 10.14, but TT2015 still doesn't open, I will try downgrading to 10.13 to see if this solves it

@thepesci - both 2014 and 2015 should run.

TurboTax 2014 and 2015 crash on Mac 10.13.4 (and later).

That is a known issue that seems to have been created by Apple with a change in OSX 10.13.4. There was no problem with OSX 10.13.3.

Since this is not a defect in the TurboTax software, but is due to a change that Apple made which causes an internal Apple java script function to crash while reading an embedded java script component in the TurboTax application, TurboTax will not be issuing any update to the TurboTax software. ( An update would be useless anyway since the software must be running in order to apply an update and the software will not run at all.)

However, TurboTax has issued a workaround to remove the java script from the TurboTax application so that the Apple software will not crash.

Open up terminal and do the following and restart:

mv /Applications/TurboTax\ Premier\ 2015.app/Contents/Resources/Content/Assets/asset_service.js /Applications/TurboTax\ Premier\ 2015.app/Contents/Resources/Content/Assets/asset_service.js.bak

This seems to work for me at least.. all i needed to do was amend my return.

Currently no version of Turbotax runs with Mojave. 2018 will, when it’s released. We can hope and advocate for the program to be fixed but have not heard anything yet.
