TurboTax
TurboTax is Intuit's popular tax preparation software that helps individuals and businesses file their federal and state tax returns. The desktop version guides users through tax preparation with step-by-step interviews, automatic calculations, and error checking to maximize deductions and credits. It's widely used by millions of Americans each year for its user-friendly interface and comprehensive tax form support. TurboTax offers different tiers from basic free filing to premium versions that handle complex tax situations like self-employment, rental properties, and investments.

The search results confirm that TurboTax 2024 remains Intel-only and runs through Rosetta 2 with notably poor performance on Apple Silicon Macs. Intuit appears to be ignoring calls for a Universal Binary version. While the app continues to function via Rosetta, users report significant slowdowns, spinning beach balls, and lengthy loading times. You should consider switching to a native alternative like Open Tax Solver (free and open source) or exploring TurboTax's web-based version as a temporary workaround, though the web version may lack some features of the desktop software.
