    And what if you are not using the online version? Turbo Tax searched for updates, shut down my almost complete return, supposedly saved it, and now can't find it? So what now?

    If you do not have a saved copy of your return, and are using the desk top version, you would need to start over. I would recommend checking the recycle bin to see if the copy happened to be moved there. @My Username
