Locating Your Downloaded Installation Program
1

The TaxACT Desktop programs and the returns associated with these programs follow a standard naming convention. In order to locate your files, you can simply perform a Windows Search for the files following these guidelines.

NOTE: The file names below assume that the tax year is 2010. If you are looking for files associated with a different tax year, replace the last digits of the file name to the last digits of the filing year.

Locating your Downloaded Install Program

The downloaded installation program will be in a self-extracting executable file. To locate this file, simply perform a Windows search through all files and folders for ta10*.exe. Windows will then locate all files associated with the install of the TaxACT program.

Please Note: If you have downloaded several TaxACT programs, you should look for the file with the most recent modified date, which indicates the date of download.
