Convert CSV to TXF

Understanding CSV and TXF file formats

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database. Each line in a CSV file corresponds to a row in the table, and each field in the line is separated by a comma. CSV files are widely used due to their simplicity and compatibility with many applications.

TXF (Tax Exchange Format) is a file format used for transferring tax-related data between different software applications. It is commonly used for importing tax data into tax preparation software, making it easier to manage and file taxes.
