How to open 1PH file?

The main problem with TurboTax Format is that the 1PH file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open 1PH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 1PH 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 1. Install TurboTax

The first step is to check if the computer has the TurboTax program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TurboTax in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file 1PH.

Programs to open 1PH file

Remember to download programs supporting 1PH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of TurboTax with 1PH files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 1PH file to open in the TurboTax application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 1PH file with the TurboTax program.

Step 3. Update TurboTax to the latest version

If, however, after binding TurboTax with TurboTax Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Intuit Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 1PH file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The 1PH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 1PH file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 1PH or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected 1PH file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 1PH files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 1PH file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 1PH files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the 1PH file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 1PH file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 1PH file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
