Installation - How to transfer the software and the data files to a new computerIf you wish to transfer your tax returns to a new computer, please follow these steps:
1- Transfer the data files from the old computer to the new computer. These files' names have the extension ".uxx", where xx are the last 2 digits of the tax year (e.g. .u08 for 2008,..., .u15 for 2015,...).
2- If your tax returns were also saved as .pdf files, you can transfer them as well to the new computer.
NOTE: For security reasons, we suggest that you transfer all files using a USB memory stick.
3- If you still have the installation CD-ROMs, you can use them to reinstall the software for each tax year.
If you cannot find the activation code for a prior tax year, and the software is still installed on the old computer, please follow the instructions below:
