Print tax files to pdf

I have four years of tax files on my computer (.tax2016, .tax2017, .tax2018, and .tax2019).  For these years and many before I had purchased Turbo Tax software and saved the output file in a safe place.  After replacing my computer I no longer have the software installed on my computer.  I now need to print my taxes for the past couple of years (preferably to a PDF file) but I can't open any of my saved tax files.  How do I open the files for printing?  Is there Turbo Tax software that'll allow me to do this?

 

I might have disks for previous years, but 2019 was definitely downloaded software.  And my new computer does not have a disk drive so I can't use the disks.

You didn't save the pdf files when you were done?  You can ask support.  Contact Customer Service  You  need to pick the CD/Download program in the product drop down box.

If you get the program installed the first thing to do before you open your tax return is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to FILE - NEW TAX RETURN)

 

Then go to FILE -Open and find your return.

 

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

If you have the 2019 download you can download it again.  Oh, are you on the Advantage Plan where they automatically send you the CD each November?  Then they also put the downloads in your account too.
