The 2017 tax data file, which has a file extension of .tax2017 can only be opened by the TurboTax software for tax year 2017.

TurboTax does not support tax year 2017.

If you do not have the 2017 TurboTax software, you can use this website to get a PDF from the tax data file, but it will cost you and TurboTax does not support this website - https://www.taxprinter.com/

AND, if you used the "Online" software for 2017, then you may be able to get a PDF file from that same Online account that you used that year. Download the PDF, not the tax datafile. The PDF can be read by most any PDF reader software...but Adobe always works so far.
