A LIF file may also be a data archive created by older versions of TurboTax, a popular tax preparation program developed by Intuit. It stores compressed tax-related data and application files that TurboTax references internally to organize user information. LIF files were primarily used to back up and transfer tax data between different legacy editions of TurboTax.
More Information
TurboTax is a widely used tax preparation software developed by Intuit that helps individuals and small businesses file federal and state tax returns. While legacy editions of TurboTax supported LIF files, modern versions do not. Because of this, LIF files are considered obsolete and are typically only found in archived tax records or backups from older systems.
How to open a LIF file
You can open LIF files with older desktop versions of Intuit TurboTax. Modern versions of TurboTax do not support LIF files.
