Hello, I recently purchased a MAC. I had previously purchased the TurboTax Standard product with CD and download option. I seem to be having difficulty figuring out how to get this going on my new computer. I expect there is a way to get the 8 return limit on a MAC? It referenced using an online version but that looks like it charges you for each individual return you submit. I do 6 returns typically. Can you tell me how to do this?
Unfortunately, we don’t have a downloadable version available for MAC OS. For people who don’t have a Windows computer, we have TurboTax Online, which will work on almost anything that has a modern browser. We also have an app for iOS in Apple’s app store. However, the code for TurboTax CD/Download will not work with these products.
You can file up to 20 returns per account per tax year. Here's how to add a new return in TurboTax Online. You pay for a return when you're ready to file.

I have the same question as the one you responded to and I notice that you did not fully answer the question posed. Do Mac users have to pay by return ($21 per return) or its there an ability to get a an 8 return package for a discounted price similar to PC users?
3rd party retailers such as Costco, Walmart, Staples and others sell multi-return packages for Turbo Tax Online.
And while we only support TurboTax CD/Download on Windows 10 & 11 PCs,, there are ways to get Windows software running on MacOS computers.
I recently moved to a Mac computer and find myself in the same "no download" boat. Workaround--Mac users can install a trial of Parallels software to "run Windows on a Mac". Not ideal, but it's an option if you've purchased the TurboTax box.
What I find hard to understand is why TurboTax will not offer the same package on a Mac as it does on a PC.
Why do I have to pay $180 for 20 returns when I only need 5? IS IT HARDER TO OFFER A ONLINE FAMILY PACKAGE FOR $40 FOR 8 RETURNS. YOU DO IT FOR 20 RETURNS. With the PC you can download a version for $40 for 8 returns.
You can see that we do offer our TurboTax software at retailers which includes multiple Online returns.
We understand and hear our customers when asking about having a Desktop version of TurboTax Canada, we are hoping that in the future this will be available.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
Unfortunately, you can't use TurboTax Desktop/Download on a MAC computer as it is not compatible. When using a MAC computer you need to use TurboTax Online.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
How to access TurboTax online? I went to the payment screen and it looks like they want to send me something. (I’m on a Mac and I need to do this ToDAY, as it looks like access will cease after tomorrow). This is for 2023 taxes. TY!
