The TAX2009 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TAX2009 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TAX2009 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TAX2009 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TAX2009 file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TAX2009 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Intuit help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TAX2009 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. 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 TAX2009 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TAX2009 to close. However, some background programs may block the TAX2009 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
