Opening the downloaded program

When  I go to my download it gives me these choices to open: 

Adobe

Notepad

Windows Media Player Legacy 

Word.    It didn't like Word

 

Which app should I choose?

If you received the TurboTax installation file for Windows, the file extension is .exe which is an executable file and does not need any type of other option to open.

 

If the file is in your Download directory double-click on the file to start the installation process.
