Convert T14 to T15

Understanding t14 and t15 file formats

T14 and T15 are file formats associated with the TaxAct tax preparation software. The .t14 file is used for storing tax return data for the 2014 tax year, while the .t15 file is for the 2015 tax year. These files contain sensitive financial and personal information, including forms, calculations, and attachments relevant to a specific tax year.

Why convert t14 to t15?

Converting a t14 file to a t15 file is typically necessary when you want to carry forward your previous year's tax data into the next year's return. This process saves time and ensures accuracy by importing personal information, carryover amounts, and other relevant data from the 2014 return into the 2015 return.

How to convert t14 to t15

The conversion from t14 to t15 is not a direct file format conversion, but rather a data import process within the TaxAct software. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open TaxAct 2015 software on your computer.
2. Go to File → Import or select the option to Start a New Return and choose to import data from a previous year.
3. Browse and select your .t14 file (2014 tax return).
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the import process. The software will create a new .t15 file with your carried-over data.

Note: Only TaxAct software can perform this operation, as the file formats are proprietary and not supported by third-party converters.

Best software for t14 to t15 conversion

The best and only recommended software for converting t14 to t15 is TaxAct. Make sure you have both the 2014 and 2015 versions installed, or use the online version if available. No other software or online converter supports this proprietary file conversion.

Summary

To convert a t14 file to a t15 file, use the import feature in TaxAct 2015. This process ensures your tax data is accurately transferred to the new tax year, streamlining your tax preparation.
