What is a TFX file?
TFX is an extension given to files used by various tax settlement programs. The TFX file is used to store data that allows you to calculate the tax due. It is a text file whose data can be imported into tax programs. It is a format that also allows the exchange of tax information.
One of the programs that support the TFX format is Quicken developed by Intuit Inc.

How to open TFX files
If you cannot open the TFX file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports TFX among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the TFX file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the TFX format files
The inability to open and operate the TFX file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Tax Exchange file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a TFX file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the TFX file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the TFX from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the TFX format
- The TFX file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the TFX file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a TFX file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the TFX file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the TFX file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the TFX file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.TFX) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected TFX file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the TFX file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. TFX) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
