How do I transfer TaxCalc data to a new computer?
The TaxCalc program can be simply downloaded from your products page on our website www.taxcalc.com or installed from CD. However this is only the program and you will also have to transfer the data files from your old computer. Copy Files If you have been using TaxCalc for some years you will have data files from previous versions. You will need to copy these from your old computer to a backup disk such as a USB drive or CD so they can be transferred to your new computer. If the files are already in separate folders and you want to keep the same file structure and folder names on your new computer just copy them to the backup device. If you are not sure where the files have been saved, first create a ‘new folder’ on the backup disc to copy the files into (say ‘returns 2008’ for 2008 tax returns etc.). Open ‘My computer’ and ‘search’ your working area for files with name *.s08 to find individual SA100 returns. ‘Select’ the results and copy then paste them into the ‘returns 2008’ folder
