How to open TVL file?
An often recurring problem with TurboTax Format is that TVL is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file TVL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TVL 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TurboTax is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TurboTax into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support TVL files.
Programs to open TVL file
Remember to download programs supporting TVL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TurboTax with TVL files
If, despite the installed application, the TVL file does not start in the TurboTax application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TVL file with the TurboTax program.
Step 3. Update TurboTax to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TurboTax program, it is possible that TurboTax Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Intuit Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TVL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TVL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TVL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TVL 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 TVL files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TVL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TVL 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the TVL file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TVL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TVL file again. 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.
