How to open prior years returns?

[kjlaut]

I have all the files but no longer have the programs I need to open the tax returns

You should have saved your returns in both a .tax format which requires the program to open and a pdf format which can be opened without the program. Are there pdf files on your computer?

If you only have a .tax or .tax20xx file you need that year's program to open it.

Turbo Tax doesn't have older programs anymore.  You might be able to find one on Ebay or Amazon or somewhere but you wouldn't be able to update it or download the state program.

OR you could try the TaxPrinter service at  http://www.taxprinter.com

They might be expensive and it is probably not safe to email tax returns back and forth
