Question

can't open download.tax file

I completed my 2022 turbotax for federal and state tax.

When I log on to turbotax, I can download all the files and read them.

However, there is one called download.tax option. It downloads a file like 

Turbo Tax Return .tax 2022. It is not empty. In my case it is like 3925 KB file.

However I can't open that file. 

Is there a trick to open that file?

Regards,

Sankar

Your tax data file (.tax file) is not the same thing as a PDF copy of your return. A .tax file can only be opened in the TurboTax CD/Download software. For more information, please click here.

The only way to open the .tax2022 file is with the CD/Download TurboTax software for 2022.
