You will need the desktop version to open the file. Online is closed for 2020 season.

Have the PDF file sent to you instead ... that you can open with any PDF reader.

No you can not open or import or move a current year tax file ie: .tax2020 from your computer back to the Online version. You can only go the other way, from Online TO Desktop. But you can Transfer the .tax2020 file into next year's Online version.

See my answer on your other post here,
