Please be aware:

This is the Minimum system requirements for TaxCalc to run. Depending on other applications you are running and other unknown factors you may be required to have higher specification hardware than is detailed here (e.g. more RAM) to give you a more enjoyable experience of TaxCalc.

Other Operating Systems:

We have many customers happily operating TaxCalc under one of the handful of solutions which allow Windows to be emulated on Mac. Further details can be found here.

Once you have a Windows desktop up and running on your Mac, TaxCalc will work exactly as it does on a PC and we will provide our usual level of support.

It is very much our intention to make all our products available to run natively on Mac and your feedback would help us prioritise this project.
