Update OS needed for TurboTax

The downloaded TurboTax software gives me a message saying I need OS X 10.12 to use TurboTax, but I don't have any updates available. My OS is X 10.11.6


MacBook Pro 13", 10.11

What model computer do you have?

Go to the apple in the upper left - select about this mac

The replies about updating assume you can do that and many Apple computers do not meet upgrade requirements.


If you are using 10.11.6 because that is as high as you can go, you will need to:

1) Find an old copy of software somewhere;

but since tax software is usually specific for each year

old copies will likely not help with this years taxes.

2) Contact TurboTax for a solution.

3) Use a different tax software.

4) Or hire someone or do them the old by hand way.
