My 2023 tax return is unable to be opened as a pdf. It only allows me to open as a .tax file. How do I access the file?

Did you use the Online version or the Desktop program?   If you used Online did you pay the fees?   If you didn’t pay the Online fees you need to buy the Desktop program to open the .tax2023 file then save it as the pdf.

You can buy the Desktop download here,

TurboTax 2022 Prior Year Tax Prep - File Past Years' Taxes

You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.

If desktop, you have to open the .tax file and save or print it as a pdf.
