Yes, it should help you as long as the information was entered correctly when you did the original return. 

 

The .tax file will be a complete copy of the original return as it was entered into TurboTax. It will not contain any images of your W-2 forms, but it will have the information that you entered, or imported, at the time. 

 

If you need your original Form W2, you can request a copy from your employer.
