BalTax 2018

BalTax 2018 appears to be an older release of a tax preparation app — the version number in the name suggests it was built for the 2018 tax year and is no longer actively maintained. We could find no recent information about the developer, current builds, or whether a native Apple Silicon version has been released. Because tax software must be kept current with annual tax code changes, a 2018 vintage app is likely already obsolete for actual tax filing anyway. Before investing effort in migrating this to Apple Silicon, check whether your tax situation for the current year is covered by your 2026 tax software or whether you need to obtain a current-year version — most tax filers transition to a new build each year regardless of architecture. If you do need to file taxes using macOS, contact BalTax directly (or research whether the company is still active) to ask whether a modern native Apple Silicon build is available. If the product has been discontinued, consider switching to current tax software such as TurboTax, H&R Block, TaxAct, or FreeTaxUSA — all maintain current native builds for Apple Silicon. You have until September 2028 when Apple removes Rosetta 2, but since tax software is seasonal, the practical deadline is the next tax filing season.
