How can I access my 2021 return file using Turbotax Premier?

I filed my taxes using the Turbotax Premier SW for PC this year. I accidentally deleted the .tax file which gets generated from the SW after you file the return. Is there a way I can access this?

Start by searching your C:/ drive in Explorer. Then try running a search for your .tax2021 file, the entire hard drive (as well as any external hard drives and/or flash drives) and check your recycle bin.

For more information, please see the following TurboTax FAQ: Find your tax data file (.tax file) in Windows for more information.

If you are still unable to find it, please reach out to our TurboTax Customer support via the Contact Us further assistance here: What is the TurboTax phone number?
