Will Turbotax 2025 continue to work with Windows 10 next year?

[Alec79]

Microsoft has indicated that Windows 10 will continue to operate but that it will not be supported. I am too old to change to Windows 11.

[Alec79]

More worries. Will my last 6 years of Turbotax (Canada) returns, made with Windows 10, open with Windows 11 ?

Also, can you clarify how “Turbotax on line” would work on a desktop P.C. using Windows 10.

or

Is "Turbotax on line" just the way of delivery into my desktop? I will be continuing to use Windows 10; too advanced in age to consider a replacement.

Thank you,

You are forcing your users to update Windows version 10 to Windows 11. In order for me to do that I will need to update my machine, which is working perfectly well. Sooooo, if I want to continue using your product, I have to shell out lots of money and time. I take this as a very faintly disguised extortion on Microsoft part!! Outside of that I have used Windows 11 and find it to be a useless, overly bloated piece of crap. To say noting of the articles I have read about it. Does more harm then good. NO THANK YOU I will pass.

The only option you have given me is to do it on-line, something that I am NOT comfortable doing.

I assume you have written security code into that website, perhaps you can write security code into the Desktop version. Or just let your users own web security take care of it.

Same here. The one and only thing I use windows for is Turbotax and that is now officially over as of now. I will just use spreadsheets. If they cant put security into the app itself, and need the OS,  then its not secure anyway.

P.S. unless these idiots are unaware many of us cant even upgrade to Win 11 because of the TPM requirement which means a new PC. 

P.P.S If intuit ever gets hacked I am sure there is no recourse except one of the useless 1 year security watch programs and sorry email. NO THANKS

That's sounds like a BOT response if i ever heard one. So how does Intuit use TPM 2.0 to secure my data? Most of the MS TPM requirements are to prevent OS piracy, ensure (MS) trusted applications, and someone from stealing my PC.

You do realize that Microsoft has extended free security updates through October 13, 2026, right?

Right?

Right, @TurboTaxSusan ?

Our product development team is aware, and we've passed on all customer comments & suggestions to our product development to them.

Please make it a priority. There are many similar threads on Bogleheads and elsewhere saying the same thing. I'm sure many others like myself have been using your products for twenty years and would otherwise continue for another twenty or more if you weren't so adamant that you must needlessly break your product.

To be crystal clear, and I do ask that you relay this, you have no cause whatsoever to be more stringent than Microsoft itself.

It's as insane as trying to hand out your own handwritten speeding tickets to motorists traveling below the speed limit.

I just received a notice from Intuit that they are still not going to support Windows 10 even with security updates. Given the security updates makes Windows 10 as secure as it ever was , this shows Intuit's reasoning is thinly veiled malarky.

I am not going to upgrade to Windows 11 and put up with Microsoft every update causing major bugs in the operating system that affect users and create headaches. This whole dig your heels in from Intuit is typical corporate over reach, telling me how to use my computers. Banking level encryption is great until it is isn't and there are big hacks every month sending their user's data into the dark web. So I am not going to do Turbo Tax Online. 

H&R Block is supporting Windows 10 going forward, how about that. I have used their product in the past and they seamlessly import Turbo Tax. So H&R Block here I come.
