I can't even get it to run on my WIndows ME machine. I've un-installed
the program, rebooted, run their "total uninstaller" and it thinks the
program is still installed. I have spent the better part of 2 DAYS
trying to uninstall it, got charged twice by Intuit, still have 
a non-working piece of software. THe "Go Back" utility kills it.
I am convinced that their online "chat" tech support is not a human.
It's an A.I. program designed to answer "common questions". 
I will NEVER EVER buy another product from Intuit!!!!! If I were to
charge them my hourly rate for the time I've spent trying to get the
thing working, then trying (still unsuccessfully) to un-install
the "product", they'd owe me bigtime. TELL EVERYONE to 
AVOID TURBOTAX LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!!!!!
