Programs to open TT18 file
Remember to download programs supporting TT18 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TurboTax with TT18 files
If, despite the installed application, the TT18 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TT18 file with the TurboTax program.
Step 3. Update TurboTax to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TT18 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TT18 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TT18 file. Sometimes virus-infected TT18 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TT18 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 TT18 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TT18 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TT18 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TT18 file again. 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.
