Unfortunately, the TurboTax CD/download versions cannot be installed on a MAC as they are not compatible. You will need to use a TurboTax Online version. Please follow this link where you can find our 2021 TurboTax Online.

Yes, I found it.  It is a bit frustrating to find a prior year, but I did find it.  I started the returns, however I am very disappointed that you can't see the forms with the online version.  That is a huge downfall.  I will switch back, unfortunately, to a PC version.  Being able to see the forms is the only way to work with a tax software in my opinion.  :(((((

Thank you for the further information, but I have already seen the summary.  That is useful, but doesn't solve the problem of not being able to access the forms.  For example, I ticked off information for my husband to use the Caregiver Credit.  In the Summary, I can see the amount of refundable tax credits have increased, as they should.  However his tax refund amount reduced!! Doesn't make sense.  The way I would sort this out it too look at the T1 form, actually see the calculation of taxes etc; that is what I do in the downloaded version.  With the online method I can only see the result, not how it is being calculated; therefore we can't make informed decisions.  This online version is pretty easy to use, but is good only if you have a basic return in my view.
