Step 2. Create association of TurboTax with TAX10 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TAX10 file to open in the TurboTax application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TAX10 file with the TurboTax application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TAX10 file

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TAX10 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TAX10 file. However, remember that not every infected TAX10 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of TAX10 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TAX10 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Intuit, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TAX10 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move TAX10 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TAX10 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TAX10 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.
