= SYMPTOMS =

If you export information from Money to a third-party tax preparation program, you may experience either of the following symptoms when you attempt to import the information into the tax preparation program:


 * The tax preparation program may generate an error message stating that the .txf file is an invalid file.
 * You may see different information in the tax preparation program than the information displayed in the Tax Software Report in Money.

= CAUSE =

This behavior can occur if you configure Money to use the Tax Transactions report type.

= RESOLUTION =

To resolve this issue, configure Money to use the Tax Summary report type. To do this, follow these steps:

  On the Navigation bar, click Reports.   Click Reports & Charts, point to Taxes, and then click Tax Software Report.   At the bottom of the Tax Software Report, click Customize.   On the Rows & Columns tab, click Tax Summary, and then click OK.   Export the report as a .txf file to use with the third-party tax preparation program. To do this, follow these steps:   On the File menu, click Export To Tax Software. </li>  In the Save In box, click the folder in which the tax preparation program is installed. </li>  In the File Name box, type a name for the .txf file, and then click OK. </li></ol> </li></ol>

Money saves the file with a .txf extension.
