How to open 2015 turbo tax return file with Turbotax 2016?

You cannot open a 2015 data file with 2016 TurboTax.   The *.tax2015 data file can only be opened by 2015 desktop TurboTax (CD/download).    2016 TurboTax can only open a 2016 data file.

You can transfer the *.tax2015 data file into a new 2016 return, but you can't "open" the 2015 data file with 2016 product.

If you saved a PDF of your 2015 return, you should be able to open the PDF in Adobe Reader or other PDF viewer.
