You need the same year Desktop program installed to open a .tax file. If you used the Online version you should download the pdf file to view it.

Also, After you get the program installed the first thing to do before you open your tax return is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to File-New Tax Return).

Then go to FILE -Open and find your return.
