How to open SCD file?
The main problem with TurboTax Tax Schedule List is that the SCD file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SCD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SCD 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 you will find a list of applications that support SCD files.
Programs to open SCD file
Remember to download programs supporting SCD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TurboTax with SCD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SCD 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SCD file with the TurboTax application.
Step 3. Update TurboTax to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TurboTax program, it is possible that TurboTax Tax Schedule List requires a newer version of the program.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 SCD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SCD file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SCD file. Sometimes virus-infected SCD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SCD file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SCD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Intuit
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SCD 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SCD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
