Install Prior Year HandiTax
Navigate to File Explorer and ensure the prior year versions of HandiTax are not installed.
Go to HSoft\Apps and check if HtXX.exe is in there (HtXXSql.exe for SQL), where XX represents the prior year you require.
Log in to HandiTax.
Click Help and then About.
Click on Software Updates.
Click the Prior Year HandiTax Software tab.
Click Download next to any prior year versions of HandiTax you require.
Save the file to a location that it can be run from later, preferably using a Download folder. Do not save it in any HandiSoft program folders. If the file does not start to download, open the website in a different browser e.g. Chrome.
Ensure that you have exited all HandiSoft programs before continuing with the installation.
Once the download is complete, run the saved executable to start the relevant prior year HandiTax installation and follow the prompts. Earlier years may be downloaded as a zip file, which will require you to open the file and extract the executable. If you receive the pop-up Windows protected your PC, click More info and then click Run anyway.
Once the installation is complete, launch the HandiTax prior year program.
Note: The prior year HandiTax installation needs to be installed in the existing HSoft folder. If unsure of where your existing HSoft folder is located, go to the current year HandiTax program and click Help, About.
