How do I open/view an old .tax file on my PC

I have several .TAX files from 1998 thru 2002 on my PC. They are not in my previous returns in my account. How do I open/view these files without purchasing the software an installing it on my PC?

The only way you can open and view them is to use the TurboTax software for each particular year. So, for 1998, you would need the software for 1998.

OR you could try the TaxPrinter service to convert a .tax file to pdf at

They might be expensive and it is probably not safe to email tax returns back and forth.  They are not related to Turbo Tax.
