Your tax data file can be read and edited in the TurboTax program, whereas your PDF file is a non-editable "snapshot" of your tax return that can be opened, viewed, and printed in a PDF viewer program.
If the file you are trying to open In Turbo Tax is a pdf, this could be why the file is causing an error.

If you are trying to file a 2019 return, you will need to download and purchase Turbo Tax 2019, as they cannot be filed using an older software program.
