SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !
EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records. That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

I have a ODG turbotax file that my computer cannot open. How do I open this file? I have a pdf file and a copy of my 2023 income tax return. What are computers for if you have to continue to input the data two times?

@dougAllen43 If you want to transfer the 2023 online tax data file to the 2024 desktop tax return you only need to download the tax data file. The 2023 tax data file will have a file extension of .tax2023.
When you start a new 2024 tax return using the desktop editions, the TurboTax software will search for all 2023 tax data files on your computer. If the tax data file is not listed then you will need to browse to the location where you downloaded the file. That is all you need to do. There are no other files to transfer or update.
