If the file you have is a .tax2018 file, you must have the 2018 TurboTax program installed on your computer to open it regardless of whether it was prepared using the online product or the desktop product.

You must have the 2018 TurboTax software program installed on your computer to open a .tax2018 file. If you have the program installed, you should not have any problem opening the file. You don't need the program installed to open a pdf file.
