Using TurboTax now that Win10 is discontinued

Jeff1192

I just received an email from TurboTax reminding me that Win10 is no longer supported. We have been using TurboTax for years. The last few I’ve been using an old laptop as I moved to a MacBook years ago. Why is there no desktop version for Macs? I assume at this point if I want to continue using TurboTax I’ll have to either buy a new Windows laptop (which I don’t really need) or use the online version. The website is very vague about pricing saying $0-70 per filing. We usually use TurboTax Standard and file for myself, my wife and our 4 kids. I can see for the kids that it will be free but I’m wondering what it is going to cost us per return? We have employment income, RRSPs, RESPs, donations, medical expenses, employment expenses, investment expenses and not much else. I’d really like to continue using TurboTax but I’m not going to start paying double and triple the cost of desktop standard.

You can use TurboTax Online on any PC or Mac with a current web browser, and no installation is required. You can also use the TurboTax mobile app for iOS and Android devices to do your taxes on your smartphone or tablet.

Normally TurboTax Online is priced per return, however you can buy multi-return packages at 3rd party retailers like Walmart, Costco, Amazon, Staples, etc. The prices are usually similar to the Desktop versions, but the price set by the retailer, and they often have discounts, sales or other ways to reduce the price.

There is no equivalent of "Standard" for TurboTax Online, instead there is Deluxe, but that doesn't cover investments or investment expenses. For that you need Premier, which on Amazon.ca is currently the same price as the Desktop version: $90 for 12 returns.

I have passed on a suggestion to our product development team regarding a Desktop version for Macs. Thank you for your input.
