The error message is "The document has the wrong tax year or some other issue that prevents us from opening it. Please make sure you have the right file and try again."

Thank you for confirming.  If all troubleshooting has failed, you will need to return the software to Costco for a refund/exchange.

“refund”

meaning: “We give up, its broken, our support is useless, and it just won’t work.”

 

”exchange”

totally laughable, as if its a defective CD that won’t install properly or something.  Pathetic response.

In my case it seemed to be an iCloud sync issue. I restarted multiple times after uninstalling/reinstalling. Tried before/after update. What seemed to solve it was to use the file-open function within Turbo Tax which somehow triggered iCloud to sync and download the .tax2022 file. Once that occured TurboTax was able to open the file.

Your solution worked, thank you!! I downloaded the return from the cloud onto my computer and was able to open int then.

OMG--finding the file and clicking on "Open With" worked for me, too, after lots of heartache trying other things and trying to find out how to call TT!
