TurboTax
TurboTax is Intuit's popular desktop tax preparation software that helps individuals, families, and small business owners prepare and file their federal and state tax returns. The application provides step-by-step guidance through tax questions, automatically imports tax documents from financial institutions, and ensures users claim all eligible deductions and credits. It offers different editions tailored to various tax situations, from basic returns to complex scenarios involving business income, rental properties, and investments. Many users prefer the desktop version for its offline capabilities and comprehensive feature set compared to online tax filing options.

1 suggestionTurboTax desktop remains Intel-only through the 2024 version, despite Apple Silicon Macs being available since 2020. Based on community discussions, even the latest TurboTax 2024 still requires Rosetta 2 to run on M1/M2 Macs, causing slower performance and higher memory usage. Intuit has not announced plans for native Apple Silicon support, and user frustration is evident in forums. As a workaround, consider using TurboTax Online instead, which runs natively in web browsers on Apple Silicon Macs and offers most of the same features as the desktop version. The online version works with Safari, Chrome, and Firefox without requiring Rosetta 2, providing better performance on newer Macs.
