What is a .TA9 file?
A .TA9 file is a special kind of computer file used for keeping track of taxes for the year 2019. It is made using a program called TaxAct 2019, which is designed to help people in the United States prepare their taxes for that year. This file contains all sorts of important tax information, like the tax forms you need to send to the government, both for your state and the federal government. It also has personal details about the person filing the taxes, such as their name, when they were born, whether they are married, what job they do, if they have any children or other dependents, and their social security number.
To open a .TA9 file, you need to use TaxAct 2019 or a newer version of TaxAct, or you can use TaxAct Online. These are the only programs that can open this type of file. People usually have a .TA9 file because they used TaxAct 2019 on their Windows computer or they used TaxAct Online to do their taxes for the year 2019. Sometimes, if someone else does your taxes for you using TaxAct, they might send you the .TA9 file for your records.
TaxAct 2019 can be used on a computer running Windows, and if you use this program, it saves your .TA9 tax return file in a folder named "TaxAct2019" inside your "My Documents" folder. After you finish your tax return, you can choose to print out the forms and mail them, or you can file them online directly through the program.
It's a good idea to make a backup of your tax return file. This means saving another copy of it just in case something goes wrong with the original file, like if it gets deleted by accident or becomes unusable. To make a backup in TaxAct, you go to the File menu, choose Backup, and then name your backup file. This creates a new file with a .BA9 extension, which is your backup tax return.
Remember, the .TA9 file is specifically for tax returns for the year 2019, and it came after the .TA8 file, which was for 2018 tax returns. Making backups of your tax return files is a smart way to keep your important tax information safe.
