And if you did a state return and get error 119 or 190 when trying to open your .tax2023 file….
After you get the program installed or reinstalled the first thing to do before you open your tax return is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to File-New Tax Return).
After you get the state program downloaded you can close the fake return and open the real .tax file. Just go up to File-Open and try to open your return. It will either show up in the box to Continue or you can browse to where it is.
