How to open TAX13 file?

The most common problem when using TurboTax Tax Return is that a specific TAX13 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TAX13 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TAX13 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

In this case, you should first verify that the TurboTax application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TurboTax into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TAX13 files.

Programs to open TAX13 file

Remember to download programs supporting TAX13 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of TurboTax with TAX13 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TAX13 file still does not use the TurboTax program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the TurboTax application as the default for handling the TAX13 file.

Step 3. Update TurboTax to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TurboTax program, it is possible that TurboTax Tax Return requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Intuit Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TAX13 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 TAX13 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 TAX13 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TAX13 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TAX13 files changes over time. 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 option of recovering data from damaged TAX13 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Intuit Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TAX13 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the TAX13 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TAX13 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
