How to open TA4 file?
The main problem with TaxACT Tax Return Form Format is that the TA4 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TA4 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 TA4 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 TaxACT
The first step is to check if the computer has the TaxACT program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TaxACT 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 TA4.

Step 2. Create association of TaxACT with TA4 files
If, despite the installed application, the TA4 file does not start in the TaxACT application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the TaxACT application as the default for handling the TA4 file.
Step 3. Update TaxACT to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TaxACT program, it is possible that TaxACT Tax Return Form Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the 2nd Story Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TA4 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TA4 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TA4 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TA4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TA4 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TA4 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TA4 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TA4 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TA4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TA4 file again. However, some background programs may block the TA4 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
