My turbotax file is corrupted and unreadable. How do I fix it?

Sorry - there is not way to fix a corrupted .tax file.  Hopefully you saved a backup or made periodic  system backups to recover a file from.

This is unacceptable.  I have re-entered information twice and each time after saving; and even saving periodically when going to submit and print it says the file is corrupted.  I need to finish taxes and cannot keep going back in to re-enter all information.  Something is wrong with the software. 

This happened to me was on phone with support for over 2 hours with no fix. So I saved all my files on a flash drive unninstalled every turbo tax version. Then did a search for turbo tax after unninstal on C: drive and deleted everything. then fresh install  of new turbotax now it works just fine

Only time I used the online download and this is what happened really makes me leery of using Turbotax again after 18 years of use.  I can only get 1 page of my 2021 Turbotax . Seems like it became corrupted after the initial start update that it does every time you open it. I filed an extension in April and everything was fine and complete. I was only waiting  to add one thing that got lost in mail.  Last time I open I lost everything except 1 page.... even on my backed up copy!  How does that happen???   It keeps saying to redownload but that isn't working either. After searching for months I finally found and bought the hard disk,( It came open so I think it has been used ).  I am worried that if I load it and it updates it will corrupt it too.  Can anyone advise me on that? Can that happen?

I have the same issue. I loaded TurboTax 2022 H&B last night. As the program loaded it said it found my previous year's returns, but and when I tried to upload last years tax info the program told me the 2021 tax return files, both TT file format and the TT PDF, were corrupted. I reloaded TT 2021 and it wouldn't load the 2021 returns either. I get the same when I try to upload TT backup file copies made last spring. Those returns were filed last March and there were no issues.  This is really ridiculous, folks. I'm paying $125 for THIS? Please fix your software. I've been a TT user since the mid 90s. If I have to reload everything manually TT and I are done.  

Have used TT for many years, never before having to establish an "INTUIT" account. Bought the 2023 CD from COSTCO. Followed the instructions, created the required "INTUIT" account, completed the effort, saved the file and, luckily, I also saved a PDF version. Came back the next day to check my work before submission. Could NOT open the file. Kept getting a "Sorry, the file is corrupt." message.  The INTUIT "Contact" and "Help" features are absolutely WORTHLESS.  I talked to "Estrella" in Texas for more than 40 minutes. She used "Glance" to view my desktop and could NOT solve the problem. I told her I wanted a refund and she responded that she could arrange that and would send an Email to facilitate the refund. She did send an Email, but only an Email asking me to "review" TurboTax 2023 Deluxe. What a joke. Called again and got "Lindsay" in Ohio. Another hour wasted talking to a complete idiot. She was CLUELESS.  Finally decided to print the PDF copies of both Federal and State and file by mail. NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE TURBOTAX and will share my 2023 experience widely. GARBAGE SOFTWARE and ignorant people manning the help lines. My next internet stop tonight will be the COSTCO website where by way of a review I will share my INTUIT TURBOTAX experience with millions of COSTCO shoppers.
