Within TurboTax, the user has the flexibility to review the previous year's tax data, make any required amendments, and submit their taxes directly to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This can be accomplished by selecting the File menu then selecting 'File Return' directly from within the TurboTax software. Additionally, the file can be converted to PDF for offline storage or printing. This function is available within the File menu, under 'Save to PDF'. More on this can be found on TurboTax's official help site.

Converting TAX2016 Files

While .TAX2016 files are primarily accessed using TurboTax, they can also be converted into other formats for use with other programs. Tax exchange format (TXF) is one of the common formats users may want to convert their .TAX2016 files into. TurboTax does offer this conversion capability, and the steps to do so are available on this page of TurboTax's official support site. Please note that converting financial data comes with the risk of data loss or corruption, so it's always advisable to back up the original .TAX2016 file before attempting to convert it.

TAX2016 File Important Information

While the .TAX2016 file extension is specific to the financial year of 2016, it's important to understand that TurboTax produces a new version of their tax preparation software each year. Hence, the appropriate software corresponding to the tax year of the file must be used in order to open the file correctly. Also, it's worth mentioning that tax codes change annually, so using old data may result in inaccurate tax calculations if not updated properly. You can get up-to-date tax code information directly from the official IRS website.
