I keep getting a .TAX file which appears to be useless to me.

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents. Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

If the PDF download link is not available for the tax year required then you will need to contact TurboTax support for assistance. TurboTax only retains online tax returns for the past seven years, the same retention period as the IRS.

Support is open from 5am to 5pm Pacific time, Monday thru Friday

See this TurboTax support FAQ for contacting support - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/contact-turbotax/L2y9ZKpQB_US_en_US

Support can also be reached by messaging them on these pages https://www.facebook.com/turbotax/ and https://twitter.com/TeamTurboTax

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records. That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

NOTE: TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years. Returns older than seven years are purged.

If you have a .tax file you need to install that year’s Turbo Tax Desktop program to open it. If you used the Online version you need to download the pdf file. If all else fails you could try the TaxPrinter service (not connected with Turbo Tax) to convert a .tax file to pdf at

but it might be expensive.
