Either reinstall the 2021 program 

OR you could try the TaxPrinter service to convert a .tax file to pdf at

They might be expensive and it is probably not safe to email tax returns back and forth. They are not related to Turbo Tax. I see it says federal is $44.99 and Federal + state is $79.99.

If you still have the 2022 desktop software, it will open a 2021 tax file - of course presenting it as 2022 tax data (importing 2021 data to the 2022 software). So it depends on why you want to open this tax file.
