Last year I did my taxes on a different computer. I have a prn file of all the forms and calculations. How can I print it out on my new computer?

If you used online TurboTax you can access your account and returns from any computer or device that has internet access.  If you used the CD/download, the returns were stored only on your own hard drive.  They are not stored online.

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Start a 2023 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $43, an actual copy of your tax return.

A prn file?  Don't know.  You should have saved it as a pdf file.  Then you can print it anywhere.  Or do you have the .tax2022 file?  Did you use the Online version or the Desktop program?  If you used Online you can download the pdf file.

A .PRN file is a printer-specific file that contains the print commands embedded in the file data, so that you can print the file later without needing the software program as long the printer understands the instructions in the file.  I'm not sure why you ended up with that choice.  Did you choose the option "Print fo file" in your Printer properties dialog box to save your return as a .PRN?

You'll likely have to do an Internet search on how to print out a .PRN file.  I occasionally used a .PRN file for desktop publishing years ago, but not in recent years.   I just now quickly searched around the Internet to refresh my memory, and when using Windows, to print it out typically uses a command line to copy the *.PRN file to your printer port or system "printername."   Such as "C:\copy *.prn /b printername" (if using a USB or network cable).  You have to use the correct "path to file" in the command or be in the same directory as the PRN file and use the correct System name of the printer as it's shown in your System printers settings.  The /b means it's a binary file.  If you are using an old parallel LPT1 cable instead of a network/USB cable, it would be "C:\copy *.PRN /b LPT1", again using the correct file path to the *.PRN or be in same directory.   Anyway, that's from my cursory search of the Web just now, so I can't vouch for the accuracy.  You'll have to do the homework.

Going forward----

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.

@jodave5-verizon- 

In my comment above where I gave some command-line examples, that was for someone using Windows.

If you are using a MAC, you can try moving the *.PRN file onto the Print icon or use Apple Preview, according to this site I found in an Internet search:
