Since about 2000 I let the wave of technology crash me into a shore of sea shells and became satisfied to just know/figure out how to operate (best as I can) macs or computers. At one time I was pretty darned good with figuring out things with computers but that was long ago when DOS (remember that?) was the thing. Not being a wise arse by any means, just letting everyone know what they're dealing with relative to me and my knowledge of macs and computers. And, no I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn last night. That said, I have no idea what a 32 bit app is, or formatting my drive to APFS (whatever that is)? I do know what valve seats, cam bearings, rings, sprags, nozzles, vanes, torque converters, ring and pinions are though. Sort of like you guys with macs and computers. I'm not very savvy with macs and computers, but I can tear a transmission (standard-remember them, or automatic), engine (gas or diesel), carburetor, injectors, pumps, differential apart figure what's wrong and usually get it going. Then I can get back on track to my typical "Get the (2021) return done and filed immediately".Ĭhscag, I greatly appreciate your reply.

Now that life isn't as crazy as it was in 2021 I really need to get my 2020 return filed and suffer the consequences of filing so late. I tried to get in and finish my 2020 return but found the online is closed and the only way I can complete is to have TT download for me and I know my OS won't work it.ġ- Can I upgrade to Catalina without screwing up everything I have on my machine? IE: Office for Mac, pictures, files, years and years of things I can't imagine loosing? Yes, I need to do a backup to my external drive for sure.Ĥ- Could there be a terminal failure that'll totally screw the pooch? Anyhow, I never got back to completing 2020 return and now it's time for 2021. They gave me a code to use after I was done that would allow me to file for free (since I already bought the CD) both state and federal, great right? Well I started and life got crazy, I filed for an extension, first time in my working life (approx 50 years) I ever didn't have taxes filed by end of Feb. Called TT and they said best bet is to do taxes online.


Unfortunately last tax year (2020) when I purchased the TurboTax (TT) CD I found my OS wouldn't work it.

My Mac, which I purchased almost 10 years ago, works awesome.
