What is a .TAX2016 file?
A .TAX2016 file is a special type of document that was made using a program called Intuit TurboTax, specifically the version from the year 2016. This file is used by people in the United States to do their taxes for that year. It's like a digital folder that keeps all the important information you need to tell the government about your income, how much tax you've paid, and any money you might get back. This includes personal details like your name and Social Security number, as well as all the different forms the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) requires. If you also had to file taxes for any states, those forms could be in there too.
Because this file has a lot of private and important information, like how much money you make or your bank details, it can be protected with a password. This means that only people who know the password can open and see the contents, keeping your information safe from others.
To open a .TAX2016 file, you need to use the TurboTax software from 2016. This is because the file is made in a special way that only TurboTax can understand and work with properly. You can use TurboTax on your computer or online through their website with something called TurboTax Online+. This gives you a couple of options for how you want to work on your taxes, whether you like doing it through a web browser or prefer having the software installed on your computer.
