To remove the password from a password-protected tax file you prepared in TurboTax CD/Download software, follow these steps:
- Open the tax return you want to remove password from in the year software you created it in
- Go to the File menu in top left of the computer and select Encrypt on a Mac (on Windows PC select Password).
- Fill out the information in the pop-up window and then select Remove Password.

Did you use the TurboTax CD/Download software installed on your computer and saved the PDF copy or tax data file with a password that way?

Yes I did use my purchased Turbotax CD to download software my Mac computer. I password protected my return prior to saving on my computer as recommended by TT(TurboTax). After completing my return on TT I gave it to my accountant for review, but my return cannot be opened on accountants computer because of password. Can I delete my password so it can be opened by accountant?
