What is a .TAX17 file?

A .TAX17 file is a type of document that you might create if you're using a program called Intuit TurboTax 2017. This program is designed to help people in the United States fill out their tax returns, which is something everyone has to do every year to report their income to the government. The .TAX17 file contains all the information you would put into your tax return, including both the forms for your state taxes and your federal taxes, as well as any personal information you've entered into the program.

Even though TurboTax 2017 usually saves these tax return files with a .TAX2017 extension, sometimes you might come across a file with a .TAX17 extension instead. It's less common, but it's essentially the same kind of file.

If you find a .TAX17 file on your computer and you want to open it, you'll need to use the TurboTax 2017 software. This software is available for computers running Windows or macOS. Once you open the file in TurboTax 2017, you can work on it just like any tax return, and you even have the option to save it as a .TAX2017 file if you prefer.

After you've finished filling out your tax return in the .TAX17 file, you have a couple of options for submitting it to the government. One way is to send it electronically through a process called "e-filing." E-filing is pretty convenient because you can do it directly from the TurboTax program, and it's free for your federal return, though you might have to pay a fee to e-file your state return. Alternatively, if you'd rather not e-file, you can print out your tax return and mail it in the old-fashioned way.

In summary, a .TAX17 file is a tax return file from TurboTax 2017, and you can open it using the TurboTax 2017 software on a Windows or macOS computer. You can then choose to e-file your completed tax return or print and mail it.
