Can Catalina 10.15.7 be upgraded to Big Sur so I can use Turbo Tax Home and Business 2022?

TurboTax did start notifying users about this over a year ago. And everyone who used TTax 2021 last year got a notice in TTax itself when they filed their Federal return. They also followed up with emails a few months later.

You can still use the online version of TurboTax. You just need Big Sur or later for the installed version.

If you have already purchased the installed version, contact TurboTax support, they may be willing to switch your license to the online version. I have found them to be helpful myself.
