Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Why is my PDF downloading as a .txt file in Microsoft Edge?

If you're using TurboTax Online, you may experience Microsoft Edge saving the PDF version of your tax file as a .txt file.

Solution

There are two ways to solve this issue:

  1. Change your browser (to Google Chrome or Firefox, for example) and save from there.
  2. Replace the .txt extension with .pdf.

 

In the EDGE download...those are really just PDF files, that's why they look funny.

 

After downloading with EDGE....just change the file extension to ".pdf" and then they will open as normal PDF files.  (Don't know why some EDGE systems do that).
