Are you downloading the PDF ? Do you have a PDF reader like Adobe ? What is the file extension if it is not a PDF ? What browser are you using ?

You would need to download the .pdf version, not the .tax file. You can only open the .tax file with a desktop version of TurboTax.

Also, if you are using Microsoft Edge to download the .pdf file there is a current compatibility issue. You would need to use Chrome or Firefox then download the pdf again. You should then be able to open it.

Hi, where do you go and download the desktop versions of the turbotax I purchased online through costco? I have a new computer.
