doubtful...too old, Intuit doesnt support them anymore. The oldest year I see available to download in my account is 2006.

Ive seen a 3rd party company (www.taxprinter.com) that claims to be able to open old tax data files back into the 90s for some of the DIY programs, but not for ProSeries.

You probably can't use Windows 10 or 7.

Right click the program > Properties > Compatibility mode > Check the box > Select an appropriate old Windows such as Windows XP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Windows_versions

Post an update if you get it to work.

Hi, 

I have tried taxprinter.com, and paid them to try to open a 2003 return prepared on ProSeries.  (The file has a file extension ".03i".)   Unfortunately, they have not been able to open it.  

Do you have copies of the 2002 and 2003 software?

Youd be looking for someone with the final CD that contained the entire program, as online updates wont be available for years that old...needle in a haystack. good luck!

Hi, Lisa, 

Thank you for responding.  

I have tried intuit support, with no luck. They told me that they don't offer telephone support for ProSeries software prior to 2017.  

Can you think of any other way to open these files?  

Thank you.
