Step 2. Create association of TaxACT with TA9 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TA9 file still does not use the TaxACT program, it means no 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TA9 file with the TaxACT application.
Step 3. Update TaxACT to the latest version
If, however, after binding TaxACT with TaxACT Tax Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 TA9 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The TA9 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TA9 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TA9 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TA9 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 TA9 file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TA9 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use 2nd Story Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TA9 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move TA9 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
