If you suspect your .tax2021 data file may be corrupted, you can try looking for a backup copy that you may have saved and transfer from the backup instead. Use the same instructions in the previous links to search for other TurboTax data files that may be stored on your system. Unfortunately, damaged or corrupted tax files can't be repaired.  The following has more information for you with your 2021 tax file.

 

Error: The selected file is NOT a previous year tax file or it is corrupted
