Note: If there are more than one TaxCalcHub.exe task showing in the Processes list, you can also select each one of those and click End Task.
3. Close the Task Manager then try to load the TaxCalc application by using the shortcut icon.
Alternatively, you can reboot your machine, then try loading TaxCalc using the shortcut icon and the application should then load.
