Extract text from 2013 state tax forms (TT2013STATE)
To convert TT2013STATE state tax forms to another format, you need TurboTax or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Tax Preparation File" file type, you need software like TurboTax or a similar tool.
A .tt2013state file is a proprietary data container created by TurboTax 2013 to store state-specific tax return data. Users typically encounter these files when searching through old financial backups or attempting to retrieve past state tax records for audits.
The major disadvantage of the .tt2013state format is strict vendor lock-in. It is completely proprietary and heavily restricted. You cannot open it with web browsers, standard text editors, or modern document viewers. Native access requires locating, purchasing, and installing an obsolete version of TurboTax, which is no longer officially supported and often fails to run on modern operating systems. Because of this lock-in, users desperately need to convert these files into universal formats like PDF to actually read their own historical tax data.
This closed, proprietary format makes it exceptionally difficult to open or convert. Intuit tightly controls the data structure. Standard online converters fail to process it because only the original software contains the exact tax calculation logic required to reconstruct the final document layout. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or data extraction may still be possible without needing to install old software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TT2013STATE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our TT2013STATE converter.
