turbotax 22 return file type changed and will not open now

So I finished my turbotax return, only to find that it will not open today. The message I get is wrong file type. When I look at Finder, I can see that for some reason, all my returns that I did this year are now Numbers files. But when I go to Get Info, I see that the file type is "Turbotax 22" which is correct.


So finder thinks its a Numbers file, and Turbotax thinks its a Numbers file. Here is a screen shot of the file in Finder and in the Get Info window.


Anyone know what is going on?

Hi Marcia Milanowski,


For help with saving third-party data, you can check your permissions for the app using the article here: Controlling app access to files in macOS - Apple Support


You can also view information from the Turbo Tax support site here: How do I find my tax data file (.tax file) in Mac?


If you continue to have issues, reach out to the developers directly to further assist with seeing if it can be saved in a different format. Welcome to TurboTax Support.



Cheers.
