How to open Q09 file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the Q09 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

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file Q09.
Programs to open Q09 file
Remember to download programs supporting Q09 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TurboTax with Q09 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the Q09 file to open in the TurboTax application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Q09 file with the TurboTax program.
Step 3. Update TurboTax to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TurboTax program, it is possible that QuickTax 2009 Tax Return requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Intuit Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the Q09 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to Q09 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the Q09 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover Q09 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of Q09 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular Q09 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Intuit Canada
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted Q09 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the Q09 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the Q09 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file Q09 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
