The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TAX11 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 TurboTax

Programs to open TAX11 file
Remember to download programs supporting TAX11 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TurboTax with TAX11 files
If, despite the installed application, the TAX11 file does not start in the TurboTax application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 TAX11 file with the TurboTax application.
Step 3. Update TurboTax to the latest version
If, despite the association of the TurboTax program with the TurboTax 2011 Tax Return Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Intuit Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TAX11 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TAX11 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TAX11 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TAX11 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TAX11 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TAX11 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Intuit
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TAX11 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the TAX11 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the TAX11 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
