The TAX2018 file extension is linked to the 2018 version of TurboTax. This is a US tax preparation program for Windows and Mac operating systems by Intuit. A TAX2018 file stores US federal tax data and financial details.
TAX2018 files are only created when using the TurboTax desktop version. But they can also be exported from TurboTax Online. These files may store sensitive data so TurboTax allows saving TAX2018 files with password protection.
The default place Windows and Mac store TAX2018 files is in the Documents folder, inside the TurboTax folder. If not found there, search the whole hard drive for files matching *.tax*. Also check the Recycle Bin in case the file was deleted.
