    The tax data file for tax year 2023, with a file extension of .tax2023, can only be opened by the TurboTax software for 2023.

     

    Go to this website to purchase and download one of the 2023 desktop editions - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

      If you used and paid for one of the TurboTax online editions for the 2023 tax return then you can contact TurboTax support to see if they will push a 2023 desktop installation file to your download account at no charge.

       

      See this TurboTax support FAQ for contacting support - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/turbotax-phone-number/L0Od33nMQ_US_en_US?uid=lfgviwbm


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

      yes you'll need a version of the desktop 2023 app. it can not be opened with other years' app.

      there are other sellers of the 2023 app. be careful not are not legit.
