What is a .3ME file?
A .3ME file is a special kind of document used by a program called TurboTax, which helps people in the United States prepare their taxes for both the federal government and their state. This program works on computers that run Windows or macOS, which is the operating system for Apple computers.
The .3ME file contains all the information that you would fill out on a tax form. It can also have instructions or notes added to it to help you understand what to do. This file is important because it keeps all your tax information in one place so that the TurboTax program can help you complete your taxes correctly.
To open a .3ME file, you need to use the TurboTax software. This software guides you through each step of doing your taxes, making it easier if you're not sure how to do them on your own. While TurboTax can be used on the internet through TurboTax Online, if you want to work with a .3ME file, you need to have the TurboTax program that you download and install on your macOS computer. The Windows version of TurboTax does not support .3ME files.
When you save a .3ME file in TurboTax on a Mac, it also creates another file called a .3PE file. Both of these files are kept inside the TurboTax program on your computer. If TurboTax gets an update, it moves any old .3ME and .3PE files to the trash because they are no longer needed. This means you can delete these files from the trash to free up space on your computer without worrying about losing important information.
