PDF of Tax Files for Unsupported Versions of TurboTax

[nello]

I have old TurboTax for Mac files and I’d like to print them as PDFs for reference.

For example, I have an old TurboTax file from 1998.  It doesn’t have an extension because they weren’t necessary back then on macOS Classic; the Type is TaxR and the Creator is TTX8.

Obviously, I can’t run TurboTax for macOS Classic on a Mac with modern version of macOS such as Monterey; I can’t even run TurboTax from 10 years ago since it’s a 32-bit application and such applications haven’t been supported under macOS since Catalina .  

How do I open and print as PDF such old TurboTax files?

software for years prior to 2018 is no longer available. 

there are online services that will accept the Turbotax file and print your returns for a fee. That may be the 

one, which I am not vouching for, is taxprinter.com

stumbling block - fee is $45/year fed only $80/year fed and state
