How to open U10 file?

Step 1. Install TurboTax

Programs to open U10 file
Remember to download programs supporting U10 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TurboTax with U10 files
If, despite the installed application, the U10 file does not start in the TurboTax application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the U10 file with the TurboTax application.
Step 3. Update TurboTax to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TurboTax program, it is possible that UFile 2010 Tax Return requires a newer version of the program.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 U10 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The U10 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to U10 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file U10 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover U10 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 U10 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.
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 U10 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Dr Tax Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted U10 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 U10 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file U10 to close. However, some background programs may block the U10 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
