Unless you saved them as pdf's---no---not without the actual software.   And the software for those long ago years is no longer available.  Sorry.   There is a service  called taxprinter.com that may be able to open them----it is not affiliated with TurboTax so we cannot say how expensive it might be.

@sabashelskye  What files do you have?  Do they end in .tax?  Or are they pdf files?

 

You could try the TaxPrinter service (not connected with Turbo Tax) to convert a .tax file to pdf at

http://www.taxprinter.com

 

They might be expensive and it is probably not safe to email tax returns back and forth.  Known exceptions are TurboTax 1997, 1999 and TaxCut 2005 files which we can't read for technical reasons. TurboTax 1998 and 2002 files may show only the tax summary and the Form 1040.
