I have a need to print my 2012 and 2013 taxes, TurboTax back then saved the files not in PDF form but of file type .tax2012. How do I open those files, have tried all normal apps none will open. Loaded my original 2012 TT and have it running now, it sees the file but fails to open it and takes me here. Please advise how to open these 2 TT files. Thanks,,,MARK

If you have the 2012 TurboTax software installed then start the program. Click on the File menu at the top left of the desktop program screen. Click on Open Tax Return. Browse to the location where you put the 2012 tax data file, which has a file extension of .tax2012.

Only the TurboTax software for the year of the tax data file can open the data file.

TurboTax no longer support tax years prior to 2015.

If you have a state return in your .tax2012 file you won't be able to open it without the state program installed. You should get error 190. If you reinstalled the old programs it is too late to get the program updates and to download the state programs.
