How do I access my 2017 return created w/TurboTax CD?

Last year I did several returns (myself, child 1 etc).  I want to amend one of them.  When I open the function for past year files I see some but not the one I need.  If I go to the function to start a new return the one I want is available to draw from.  How do I locate and open that file in order to amend it?

It till be in the directory of the computer you used to prepare your 2017 tax return.. the folder is likely called
TURBO TAX
or
TURBO TAX/TAX 2017

Thank you.  I think I somehow accidentally created two directories

But what if I no longer have access to that computer?

If you did not save the tax files on a removable storage medium like a thumb drive  then the files are lost.  If you need a copy : 

 

You can get a return transcript from the IRS for free :  http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript

 

For a $50 fee you can get a copy of the return from the IRS:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901218-can-i-get-a-copy-of-my-tax-return-from-the-irs
