Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I too am receiving "File Corrupted"

I sat down today to begin my taxes. I installed from the DVD purchased at Costco, then allowed the online update to occur.

 

I created a new return that had nothing but my name in it and saved, then closed TurboTax.

 

Reopen the just saved file ... FILE CORRUPTED.

 

Rinse and repeat 3 more times, same FILE CORRUPTED.

 

I looked at the "*.tax2021" file with a hex editor and saw that it is a ZIP container. I extracted the container contents of 2 files:  "xxxx-xxx-xxx-xxx..." proprietary archive and "manifest.xml".

 

XML is structured text. "manifest.xml" is NOT text!

 

In any case, After re-installing many times I still get FILE CORRUPTED.

I tried to do an online install instead of using the DVD and TurboTax rejected it because it was already registered. Of course it was registered, I registered it!
