The TAX09 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TAX09 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 TAX09 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TAX09 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of TAX09 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TAX09 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Intuit help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TAX09 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TAX09 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TAX09 to close. 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.
