Question

Can one open a turbotax return from 11 years ago? I need an amount from my 2010 Turbotax form but my iMac won't open the 2010 file. How can I get access to this please?

If you used online TurboTax the account (s) only save your returns for seven years, so 2010 is gone. And returns you prepared using the CD/download are only stored on your own hard drive or any back up device you used.

 

Sorry but even the IRS only saves them for 7 years.

 

There is a site called taxprinter.com that you can try---at your own risk.   They are not owned or monitored in any way by TurboTax.

I used Turbotax on my computer and have the file and the application. But I do not anymore have a computer that will run the application. I'm hoping that Intuit might have a way to open archaic tax files. Taxprinter seems like a chancy option. I'd appreciate any advice.

There is no help to be had from TT ... sorry.

 

ALWAYS save a PDF of the return in addition to the .taxfile as a PDF file can always be opened using a PDF reader ... no program needed.

 

 

Why do you need to open a return that old ?
