What is your question about opening a .tax file? This is a message forum, not live chat. You have to post all the details of your question and wait for someone to respond.


Where is the .tax file from, and why are you trying to open it? Is it a tax return from a previous year that you want to look at or amend? What are you trying to do?


The tax return data files from TurboTax have the file name extension .taxyyyy, where yyyy is the year of the tax return. For example, the data file for a 2022 tax return will end with .tax2022. TurboTax files are not named just .tax. Do you have a .taxyyyy file?


The tag below your question says you are using TurboTax Online. You cannot open a .taxyyyy file in TurboTax Online. To open a .taxyyyy file you need the TurboTax CD/download desktop software for the specific year that the file is from.


Are you trying to transfer information from a .tax2022 file into your 2023 tax return? You don't have to open the .tax2022 file in order to transfer it.
