Both files end in *.taxYYYY.     Do not double-click the tax data file to open it.    Launch the Business program first, and then use the program interface to open your business *.taxYYYY data file.   (YYYY is the year).    Likewise when opening the TurboTax Deluxe data file--launch the Deluxe program first then use the program to open it.
