Yes.


And there are Web versions that will work with Mac, PC, Android, iPad, iPhone.

scroll down to "Which Turbo Tax version is right for me" to select which version (based on complexity of your tax situation) then you can decide Web, Mac, PC, etc.


N.B. The simplest version will not work for you if you have substantial capital gains or unusual deductions or rental properties, for example.

It does appear that your processor is too old to use the Mac-native version:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz

Your MacBook Pro 1,1 has only a Core Duo, not Core 2 Duo.


But you could use the online version ( in a Browser) if you do not mind operating that way. Some users have Privacy concerns and will simply NOT use online tools for this.

If you move to a more modern Mac, most stuff keeps on running. If you only changed processor to one that could run 10.6.8 in 64-bit mode, essentially NOTHING would change except that memory-intensive Applications would run faster.


Tools dependent on PowerPC native code are not supported after 10.6.8. The top six of these in my opinion are:


Microsoft Office 2004, including Word.

Eudora 6

FileMaker Pro 6

AppleWorks

Adobe Creative Suite 2, including PhotoShop

Quicken 2007** but a US$15 upgrade is available that seems to work fine with a few changes.

Carl...you are two weeks late or more with your reply. I have already filed and received my federal refund this week using TurboTax for Mac.


I really didn't appreciate your sarcastic remark about knowing the answer BEFORE I posted the question. Believe me I would not have wasted your time or your other so called Apple experts colleagues if I knew the answer. I have been a PC user for over 30 years. This is my first experience using a Mac. And yes I know Google is my friend.

Thank you for taking the time to answer. I will take my Macbook pro to Apple and see about getting the 64 bit processor and keep the operating system since I do use the programs that you mentioned. Hopefully I will not lose anything in the transfer. I usually use the Turbo Deluxe, but I might try the web site as you mentioned and see what happens. I really do appreciate your sharing your knowledge and time and helping me to learn a little bit more about my computer. Mary
