A TurboTax tax data file can Only be opened by the TurboTax software for the year of the data file.

 

For a fee you can send the tax data file to this vendor (not affiliated with or recommended by TurboTax) - http://www.taxprinter.com/

Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf
