Cannot save my incomplete 2025 Federal return

Cannot save my incomplete 2025 Federal return. I select File/Save and File/Save As. Responds that File not found, no matter where or what name I use with the extension provided .tt25

To fix this, try running TurboTax as an Administrator, while saving it to your Desktop. Close your TurboTax program and right-click the TurboTax icon and select "Run as administrator".

Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.

If I choose exit the program, I am asked to save, which I cannot do. Get same error "File not found".

If I force an exit, then I lose any information I've input.

Where'd you come up with that extension??? TurboTax data files in the USA end in *.tax2025 so that's confusing.

Or are you by any chance using the Canadian version of TurboTax? See my next comment below.
