How do I read or convert the .tax format? I am unable to download prior year return in a .PDF format.

If you used the TurboTax online editions for the 2022 tax return, then you should follow this procedure to download a PDF of the 2022 return.

Additionally, the 2022 tax return now has to be completed and filed using the TurboTax 2022 desktop editions and the return can only be printed and mailed.

 

To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

 

Start the 2023 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

 

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

 

If you have the 2022 tax data file, .tax2022, and have the 2022 TurboTax desktop edition installed on your personal computer, you only need to start the 2022 program and it should open the 2022 tax return.  Or you can click on the File menu in the upper left of the desktop program screen and click on Open Tax Return.  The browser to the location where the tax data file is being stored.

 

To complete and file a 2022 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2022 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
