Turbotax 2017 Upgrade To OSx

Should I upgrade to OSx Sierra or High Sierra Which OSx should I upgrade to.

That is making this problem difficult to trouble shoot since it is hard to reproduce.

There is some speculation that it only affects Macs of a certain hardware vintage.

There are no known problems with TurboTax on either 10.12 or 10.13.

I run OS 10.12.6 because there are other known comparability issues with some 3rd party software (other than TurboTax) and OS 10.13.

I usually wait for at least 6 months or longer before updating to the latest Apple OS until they work all the bugs out.

I believe that you can still get Sierra 10.12 from the app store.

HRBlock website states that it will run with even older versions of OSx.

Turbotax 2017 Install On My

So I hope and pray HRBlock will install on my mac without a problem (I will return original CD back to Costco since its never been opened.

I just read about all the problems with it and decided to skip Turbotax this year.

This will result in poor top-level uncaught exception reporting.

Seems to indicate that it is not hardware related since you are using the same hardware.

There must be something installed on your internal HD that is not on the external HD that is causing the issue.

This got resolved after I did two things: 1) rebooted my mac, 2) signed in using my primary admin account on the Mac then did the TT install from there.
