I cannot find my 2023 Turbo Tax. It did not fill in my 2023 info when I downloaded the 2024.

You do not mention whether you used desktop software for 2023 or online for 2023. You have to transfer the 2023 tax file BEFORE you start to enter any new 2024 data.

How to transfer last year’s return? https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1900883

If you used desktop for 2023:

If you used the Desktop program for 2023 you need to have the file ending in .tax2023 to transfer into 2024. Are you on Windows or Mac? For Windows, They should be in your Documents in a Turbo Tax folder. You should also have the pdf files of each year. Or search your computer for all files ending in .tax.

Here's an idea. Do you still have 2023 installed? Try opening 2023 program and see if you can get your 2023 return to show up in it. Go to FILE - OPEN. And see if that is the right one.

Then in the 2023 program do a File-Save AS and give it a easy name you can find or search for. And note where it saves it or select where to save it so you can find it again. The file will end in .tax2023. Then close the 2023 program. Then start a new 2024 return and transfer from the 2023 file.

If you don't have the main .tax file you might have one that starts with a Tilde sign ~ like "~your name.tax2023". That file is if your computer crashes or your real file gets lost or deleted or corrupt so you can restore it.

To access your tax returns (current or prior year) you will sign into the TurboTax website with the user ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show. Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

As an alternative for current year return, when you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a State (You will not really be adding a state).

This will take you back in to the 2024 online tax return.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. Find the Print Center and choose the year you want to print. If you want your full return including worksheets, choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets.
