TurboTax

TurboTax continues to ship an Intel-only build despite having had more than five years since the launch of Apple Silicon in late 2020. The current version remains unsupported on Apple Silicon without Rosetta 2 emulation, and Intuit has been completely silent on any plans to release a native build. This is a critical issue because Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), meaning your Intel-only copy of TurboTax will stop launching entirely on that release. Intuit's own support documentation internally acknowledges this deadline and suggests that macOS Desktop support will indeed cease when macOS 28 arrives. You have roughly two years to plan a transition. Your best options are: (1) Switch to TurboTax Online, which runs in your web browser and is not affected by the Rosetta removal — this works on any Mac with a modern browser and is simpler to use for many people; (2) Run TurboTax in a Windows virtual machine using Parallels Desktop, which is what some power users have already done, though this adds cost and complexity; (3) Migrate to an alternative tax preparation tool that already has native Apple Silicon support, such as H&R Block (available online or as a native Mac app), Taxact, or FreeTaxUSA. Given the importance of tax filing and the firm deadline, do not wait for Intuit to act — plan your move now while Rosetta still works and you have time to test your chosen alternative on your own return.
