I have my dad's tax file from last year. I need to find line 11 from it and I cannot open it. Any suggestions?

I have the file, but Turbo tax won't open it. Any suggestions? Thx

And my dad passed away so I need to solve this.

If you have the tax data file *.tax2022, you need to open it in the 2022 TurboTax program.  Possibly he has the program still installed, or a disk? 

 

Or, look for a PDF file of his 2022 return that was  saved on his computer, in the event he needed his tax return later, or for printing. 

 

Line 11 on Form 1040 is Adjusted Gross Income.

 

You can Get a Transcript from the IRS or Apply for an Extension if you need more time.

 

Sorry for your loss.

What file do you have?  The file ending in .tax2022 and/or the pdf file?  Are you trying to open the .tax2022 file in the 2022 program?  Do you get any error message?   You might need to do this to add a state to your program.

 

The first thing to do before you open your tax return is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to FILE - NEW). Enter some basic information, then go to the state tab and download the state program. Then try to open your existing return, go to FILE - OPEN

 

If you can't open the .tax2022 file and can't get a copy from the IRS,  you could try the TaxPrinter service to convert a .tax file to pdf at
