Boot Camp (Intel Macs only): If you have an older MacBook with an Intel processor, you can use the built-in Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows on a separate partition. Note that this is not available for M1/M2/M3 (Apple Silicon) chips.
Cloud Hosting: Many tax professionals host their software on a remote Windows server. This allows you to access Computax from your MacBook using Microsoft Remote Desktop, keeping all data secure and independent of your local hardware.
