System Requirements
  • Windows XP through 10 (32-bit or 64-bit). The on-line Tax Preparer installation of the complete program (required for the first installation of the year) automatically installs all files and start-up icons appropriate for your computer. On-line updates include only changed files to bring your initial installation up-to-date.
  • Internet access. Required for initial on-line installation of program for the year, on-line updates throughout the year, and e-file transmissions. (We post updates on the web for quick and easy updating of your software, on-screen manuals, and IRS documents throughout the tax season. e-file output is sent securely over the internet to a 3rd party, PDP, for subsequent transmission to the IRS.)
  • Windows printer. Required for the printout of IRS-like graphic forms for all 64-bit computers and most 32-bit computers. (For 32-bit installations, older HP PCL4-compatible printers with compatible tax fonts and a parallel port connection is also supported, but a Windows printer is preferable.)
  • 1 GB of free memory. Recommended for 64-bit computers, but 256 MB is adequate for 32-bit computers.
  • Special requirements for e-file. You must have our Standard Level or Premium Level software, separately purchased e-file transmission software (below), high-speed (broadband) internet access, and an IRS-issued EFIN. NOT available for partnership (Form 1065) nor California (Form 540) returns.
