How to open TAX2013 file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TAX2013 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 TAX2013 file

Remember to download programs supporting TAX2013 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of TurboTax with TAX2013 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TAX2013 file still does not use the TurboTax program, it means no 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the TurboTax application as the default for handling the TAX2013 file.

Step 3. Update TurboTax to the latest version

If, despite the association of the TurboTax program with the TurboTax Tax Return 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 TAX2013 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TAX2013 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 TAX2013 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TAX2013 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 TAX2013 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TAX2013 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Intuit Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TAX2013 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 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. It is best to move TAX2013 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 TAX2013 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
