Curious why you have still decided to go with a dual boot configuration for simple programs like tax software? Virtual machines are sufficiently effective nowadays.

The only reason I still have a dual boot is for video games now. But once I can afford a new graphics card, I'll keep my current one in the secondary PCIe slot, and pass it through to a virtual machine so it's basically native performance, and I will no longer dual boot.

TurboTax always worked perfectly in a Windows virtual machine. I used Microsoft's Internet Explorer VMs for this purpose, since they're free of charge. Microsoft currently offers downloads of Windows 7-10 VMs (intended for testing IE8-11 and Edge): https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/v...

I've since switched to the web-based FreeTaxUSA (https://www.freetaxusa.com), and the operating system became irrelevant.
