How can I open a .tax file from a previous year if I used the online version of TurboTax and therefore don't have the software downloaded? Thank you!

One of my states is not included in the .pdf of that year's returns, so I'm trying to download it separately.

Sorry you can only open it in the Desktop installed program.   If you paid for the Online version you can ask for the Desktop download.   What year?   But if you get it installed you also need to download any state programs in your file.   So you might have to buy any state programs after the first free state before you can open the .taxyyyy file.
