Hello,

I have a client whose tax return of 2018 had some wrong issues , I try to figure it out, but I could not open that file. How can I do? Thanks

I'm sorry, but you'll need the 2018 TurboTax software (same edition your client used) installed on a computer to open/read the tax data file.  You can purchase this software through TurboTax.com, and possibly (?) through a reputable online retailer (like Amazon).  I'm sure you are already aware that the time frame for amending a return in order to receive a refund for 2018 has lapsed.

 

Here's the link to the TurboTax website where you should be able to purchase the 2018 software.
