How to open 08I file?

The main problem with QuickBooks Return Tax is that the 08I file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open 08I, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 08I file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 2. Create association of QuickBooks with 08I files

If, despite the installed application, the 08I file does not start in the QuickBooks application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 08I file with the QuickBooks application.

Step 3. Update QuickBooks to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the QuickBooks program, it is possible that QuickBooks Return Tax requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Intuit Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 08I file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to 08I files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 08I or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 08I files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 08I files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 08I file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Intuit Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 08I files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the 08I file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 08I to close. However, some background programs may block the 08I file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
