I reinstalled my computer and lost my 2024 turbotax tax returned file. Is there anyway I can get it back?

I have reinstalled turbox tax 2024 but can't find anything in my account. I have also tried to log in online, which shows I don't have filed my taxes with Turbo Tax yet.

If you used desktop software downloaded/installed from a CD to your own computer, then the tax files are stored locally on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.  They are not stored online.  If you cannot recover them due to a hard drive failure, etc. you can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30 an actual copy of your tax return.
