How to open T02 file?

An often recurring problem with TaxCut 2002 Format is that T02 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that T02 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the T02 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 TaxCut

The first step is to check if the computer has the TaxCut program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TaxCut in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open T02 files.

Programs to open T02 file

Remember to download programs supporting T02 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of TaxCut with T02 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the T02 file still does not use the TaxCut program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 T02 file with the TaxCut program.

Step 3. Update TaxCut to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TaxCut program, it is possible that TaxCut 2002 Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the T02 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to T02 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file T02 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover T02 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the T02 file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged T02 files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted T02 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the T02 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the T02 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the T02 file again. However, some background programs may block the T02 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
